A1LB, A2LB, and A5LB Test Procedures
To perform the HLU A1LB, A2LB, and the A5LB test procedures:
1
Send into the HLU-388 the in-band ARMING and NI LPBK code 11000 for at least five seconds.
2
Monitor the output of the HLU-388 for the return of the pattern. Return of the pattern indicates that:
•
either the HRU has looped up (if the SMJK Loopback option is Enabled),
•
or that an external NI has looped up (if the SMJK Loopback option is Disabled) and that the HLU-388
and HRU units have been ARMED.
3
Verify, if possible, that the HRU Loopback LED is either flashing, indicating that the HRU is armed, or lights
steadily, indicating that it is both armed and in loopback.
4
Once armed, the HLU-388 can be looped back by sending Intelligent Office Repeater (IOR) LPBK activation
code 1101 0011 1101 0011 (D3D3) for at least five seconds. The tester observes, the following activation
response, in the order presented:
•
two seconds of AIS (all ones)
•
five seconds of returning data pattern
•
231 logic errors (including the frame bit) occurring in the returned pattern comprising:
–
10 errors, if ILR-1 (Doubler 1) was sent
–
200 errors, if ILR-20 (Doubler 2) was sent
–
20 errors, if ILR-2 (HRU) was sent
–
normal looped data
This error pattern repeats every 20 seconds as long as the IOR loopback pattern is being sent. This also applies
to ILR, Time-out Override, and Query commands.
