Remote Digital
The Remote Loop uses the EOC channel (an
Loop
out-of-band signaling channel) to establish the
remote link. Upon the RDL switch being thrown
or DTE initiation, a RDL_ON Request signal is
sent to the remote unit. The Remote unit then
responds with an RDL Acknowledge command
and the link is established. Data originates at the
local DTE and is looped at the Remote DSP
back to the Local DTE. Note that the data is also
passed through to the Remote DTE and is not
squelched. When a Remote unit enters RDL, it
changes its' Restart timeout to one minute (the
reason will be explained in the RDL with
511/511E section). If the line is disconnected,
the local unit will Restart (NS led activated) after
4 - 6 seconds, but the Remote unit will wait for
one minute before it Restarts. Note that the
transmit data at the Remote DTE is ignored.
When the switch is thrown or the DTE removes
the RDL request, the local unit will transmit an
RDL_OFF Request to the Remote unit. The
local unit will keep its' TM led active until this
request has been completely sent out. If the
switch is thrown again before the completion of
the termination phase the switch will be ignored
until it is placed back into the normal position.

Local Loop
It will remain this way until the pattern generator
with 511/511E
switch is turned off. Note that the data at the
(continued)
local DTE and the remote DTE are not valid.
Because the data is unframed there is no way
for the framer to send this data out to the DTE.
This is an important distinction because other
Patton units will send out the 511 pattern.
When the unit is placed into a Mode 2 Local
Loop, the 511/511E pattern generator on the
local unit is unavailable for transmission. As can
be seen from Figure 15, the 511/511E pattern
generator has no data path connections avail-
able. The 511/511E pattern generator is still
available on the remote unit. For more informa-
tion on the proper operation of this pattern gen-
erator please refer to the "Remote Digital Loop
with 511/511E" section.
