5.2 TEST MODES

The 3088RC offers test modes in the form of loopbacks, PRBS pattern generators, and combinations of both (see Figure 17 on page 45). Figure 18 is a block diagram of the Model 3088RC with respect to test modes.

Loopbacks

The 3088RC supports both Local Analog Loopbacks (LAL) and Remote Digital Loopbacks (RDL). These can be initiated either from the optional front panel switches or by the console command dsl set loopback <offlalrdl>. The data path for the LAL is shown in Figure 19.

Figure 19. Local Analog Loopback Diagram

The data received from the serial interface is looped back before going out on the DSL line. Note that this loopback occurs after the pattern gen- erator/BER meter. This means that running a 511 pattern in conjunction with an LAL should result in no error detected by the meter. The data path for the RDL is shown in Figure 20.

The RDL causes the remote unit to loop the data received from the DSL line back to the DSL line.
