HLU-231 List 8A
A3LB and A4LB Test Procedures
The HLU-231 can be looped back by sending the Addressable Office Repeater (AOR) LPBK activation code
1111-1111-0001-1110 (FF1E) for at least 5 seconds. This causes the HLU-231 to enter the NLOC state. The
Loopback Time-out setting (see
“Setting the Loopback Time-out Option” on page 46
) determines the duration of
this loopback unless it is overridden by the reception of a second identical 16-bit loop-up command before the
timer expires. When this time-out override state exists, the only way to loop the HLU-231 down is to issue one of
the three loopdown commands listed in
. The automatic time-out mode is restored during subsequent
loopback sessions.
summarizes the codes required to execute Addressable 3 and 4 (A3LB and A4LB) repeater loopback
commands. All code sequences must be present for at least 5 seconds. Information specific to HiGain doublers is
shown in bold.
