ATTERNS
The following section describes the test modes used in the QuikConnect mDSL
Line Driver. At the bottom of each test mode, a figure is included to show the data
path.
Local Loop
There are two different modes of operation for a local loop depending on the
status of the units at the time that the local loop is initiated. If the units are not
linked (NS LED on) and the local loop is initiated, either by the front-panel switch
or the DTE interface, the unit will enter mode 1. If the units are linked, NS LED
off, then the unit will enter a mode 2 local loop.
A mode 1 local loop is shown in Figure 5-3. When the local loop is initiated, either
by the front-panel switch or the DTE interface, the loop will be activated within the
local processor. The data present at the local DTE interface will be looped back to
