unit. This will cause the unit to enter a special mode. Then turn off the unit and change the switch settings to the desired settings. When you turn the unit on again, the unit will be set up with the selected switch settings.

nDS0 Channel Configuration Menu: [ Bandwidth/# Channels = 1,536/24 ] (default)

The DS0 Channel Configuration Menu has a sub-menu that looks like this:

You may configure the Model 2720 to operate with any combina- tion of active and inactive DS0 channels in this screen. When you exe- cute the Save Changes command, the selected settings will be saved to permanent memory, and the system will be updated to operate with the new channel settings.

NOTE: In Unframed format, the Bandwidth Selected will display “1,544k,” and the Total Channels will display “n/a.” When the DS0 Channel Rate is 56kbps, the Bandwidth Selected will be a multiple of 56k, not of 64k. When using the DIP switches to set the band- width, the starting channel is always channel 1.

3.2.3 System Diagnostics

The System Diagnostics/Statistics screen looks like this:

NOTE: This screen is updated once per second.

The System Diagnostics/Statistics options and functions are described below.

aLocal Loop: Idle (default)

The Local Loop is a bi-lateral loopback in which the data from the local DTE and the data from the remote unit are looped back to their respective sources (See Section 5.3). Activate this loop to test the each of the DTE’s connection to the Model 2720.

The Local Loop test has four states:

Idle No user-controlled loopbacks are active.

LLThe Model 2720 is in local loopback mode.

Off The Model 2720 is in remote or CO initiated loopback mode or sending a pattern. Local loopback is disabled.

LocP The Model 2720 is in Local Loopback mode, and is send- ing a test pattern.
