Test Port

Port used for the test. 

N/A

 appears when an RTU port 

is idle.

Framing

 or 

FRM

Default framing mode for the idle condition when the 
RTU is not in use.

Tx Level

Transmitted signal level.

Timing 

Source

Timing source for the current test. If the RTU does not 
follow the timing source selected in the RTU configu-
ration, the field appears as white text on black back-
ground. Possible values are as follows:

–

INTERNAL

 Internal timing selected.

–

EXTERNAL

 External timing selected.

–

RECOVERED

 or 

REC

 Recovered timing selected, or 

split is set for local loopback.

Idle Cond

Pattern transmitted when the RTU is not in use. Possi-
ble values are as follows:

–

111 (All Ones)

 DCS keepalive pattern is trans-

mitted with the default framing.

–

x1C (Hexadecimal)

 x1C pattern is transmitted.

–

LLB (Local Loopback)

 Regenerated receive 

signal is transmitted through the RTU.

–

1100 (IDLE)

 Transmits a DCS keep-alive pat-

tern with the default framing.

–

THRU

 Retransmits received data to the transmit 

lines.
