HLU-388 List 5
lists the front-panel display messages. The four-character display reports the code of a pertinent alarm,
loopback, or diagnostic message. In some cases the four-character display is followed by a second four-character
message that modifies the first with a value or current configuration setting.
The front-panel display turns on when power is initially applied to the HLU-388. To conserve power, the display
only remains on for 4 minutes. The use of the MODE or SEL buttons activates the front-panel display and restarts
the 4 minute, power-control timer.

Description
ALARM MESSAGES
ACO
Alarm Cutoff
A system alarm has occurred and has been retired to an ACO
condition by pressing the SEL button on the HLU front panel.
ALRM
Alarm Condition
A system alarm condition is in effect.
BER
Bit Error Rate
A system BER alarm is in effect.
LLOS
Local Loss of Signal
Indicates that no signal is detected at the T1 input to the HLU.
Causes a system alarm.
LOSW
Loss of Sync Word
Indicates that one of the HDSL loops has lost sync. Causes a system
alarm.
MAL1 or MAL2
Margin Alarm Loop 1 or Loop 2
The margin on HDSL Loop 1 or Loop 2 has dropped below the
threshold (1 to 15 dB) as set by the operator.
RLOS
Remote Loss of Signal
Indicates that no signal is detected at the DS1 input to the HRU.
Causes a system alarm.
LOOPBACK MESSAGES
CDUn?
Customer Doubler Unit n Loopback
Query to initiate loopback at doubler n to CI, where n is the number
of the doubler.
CLOC
Customer Local Loopback
Signal from customer is looped back to the customer at the HRU.
CREM
Customer Remote Loopback
Signal from customer is looped back to the customer at HLU-388.
NDUn?
Network Doubler Unit n Loopback
Query to initiate loopback at doubler n to network, where n is the
number of the doubler.
NLOC
Network Local Loopback
DSX-1 signal is looped back to DSX-1 at HLU.
NREM
Network Remote Loopback
DSX-1 signal is looped back to DSX-1 at the HRU.
SMJK
Remote SmartJack Loopback
DSX-1 is looped back at the HRU by the HRU SmartJack module.
TLOS
Transmit Loss of Signal
DSX-1 signal is looped back to the DSX-1 interface at the HRU. HRU
is in a logic loopback state caused by a loss of its DS1 input from
the CI, if enabled at the HRU by its TLOS switch option.
DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGES
1=xx or 2=yy
HDSL Loop Margins
Indicates the power of the received HDSL signal on each loop
relative to noise. Any value of ‘06’ or greater is adequate for reliable
system operation.
ACQ1 or ACQ2
Acquisition 1 or Acquisition 2
The multiplexers of the HLU and the HRU, or first doubler, are trying
to establish synchronization over Loop 1 or Loop 2 of Span 1.
AnL1 or AnL2
Acquisition n Loop 1 or Loop 2
The multiplexers of the two devices on Span n are trying to establish
synchronization with each other on Loop 1 or Loop 2, where n is the
number of the span.
ARM
HiGain System Armed
Armed to respond to Intelligent Repeater loop codes.
