Table A-3. Inband Addressable Loopback Codes
Note: all codes listed above must be sent for a minimum of 5 seconds in order for them to be detected and acted upon.
* If NIU is enabled, then the HTU-R can be in network loopback when the HTU-C or HRE loopup codes are sent.

Response
The HTU-R will loopup towards the network. No AIS or errors will be sent
as a result of this loopback. The HTU-C and HRE will ARM.
The HTU-C and HRE are removed from the armed state. If any of the units
are in loopback when the 11100 pattern is received, they will loopdown. The
LBK LEDs will turn off on all units.
If the units have been armed and no units are in loopback*, the HTU-C will
loopup towards the network, 2 seconds of AIS (all 1s) will be sent, 5 seconds
of data will pass, and then 231 bit errors will be injected into the DSX-1
signal. As long as the pattern continues to be sent, 231 errors will be injected
every 20 seconds. When the pattern is removed, the unit will remain in
loopback. If the pattern is reinstated, the injection of 231 bit errors will
resume at 20 second intervals.
If an HRE is present, the units have been armed, the HRE will loopup
towards the network, 2 seconds of AIS (all 1s) will be sent, 5 seconds of data
will pass, and then 10 bit errors will be injected into the DSX-1 signal. As
long as the pattern continues to be sent, 10 errors will be injected every 20
seconds. When the pattern is removed, the unit will remain in loopback. If
the pattern is reinstated, the injection of 10 bit errors will resume at 20 second
intervals.
If a second HRE is present, the units have been armed, the HRE will loopup
towards the network, 2 seconds of AIS (all 1s) will be sent, 5 seconds of data
will pass, and then 200 bit errors will be injected into the DSX-1 signal. As
long as the pattern continues to be sent, 200 errors will be injected every 20
seconds. When the pattern is removed, the unit will remain in loopback. If
the pattern is reinstated, the injection of 200 bit errors will resume at 20
second intervals.
Any HTU-C and HRE units currently in loopback towards the network will
loopdown and will not attain the armed state.
If the units are armed and the HTU-C, HRE, or HTU-R are in network
loopback, errors are injected into the DSX-1 signal upon detection of the
query loopback pattern. As long as the pattern continues to be sent, errors are
injected again every 20 seconds. The number of errors injected each time
depends on which unit is in loopback. 231 errors are injected if the HTU-C is
in network loopback, 20 at a time if the HTU-R is in network loopback, and
10 at a time if HRE #1 is in network loopback, and 200 at a time if HRE #2 is
in network loopback.
If the units are armed and this pattern is sent, the loopback timeout will be
disabled. The timeout option will be updated on the PROVISIONING menu
of the HTU-R (viewable through the RS-232 port) to NONE. As long as the
units remain armed, the timeout will remain disabled. When the units are
disarmed, the loopback timeout will return to the value it had before the
D5D6 code was sent.
If the units are armed and this pattern is sent, the HTU-C will deactivate its
span power supply, turning off the HTU-R and HRE (if present). As long as
the pattern continues to be sent, the span power supply will remain disabled.
When the pattern is no longer being sent, the HTU-C will reactivate its span
power supply, turning the remote unit(s) on. All units will retrain and return
to the disarmed and unlooped state.
