Remote End Initiated LBK Tests
The TR OCU DP supports loopbacks generated from the TR DDS-R, which allow testing to be
performed without coordination with the central office (CO) or test center. Loopbacks initiated
by the TR DDS-R front panel
LBK
pushbutton aid in system turnup testing or troubleshooting
from the remote end. The TR OCU DP responds to a loopback command initiated at the TR
DDS-R as follows:
• Pressing the TR DDS-R
LBK
pushbutton once initiates a loopback at the TR OCU DP toward
the customer. Refer to
. This allows data to be sent from the remote end to test the
local loop and the TR DDS-R. This loopback is indicated by a flashing
CUST
LED on the TR
DDS-R and a solid
CUST
LED on the TR OCU DP.
• Pressing the
LBK
pushbutton a second time initiates a loopback at the TR DDS-R toward
the 4-wire DDS (CPE) interface. Refer to
CUST
LBK
LED on the TR DDS-R
indicates a loopback at the TR DDS-R toward the customer equipment.
• Pressing the TR DDS-R
LBK
pushbutton a third time disables all current latching
loopbacks.
If errors exist, the loopbacks can help determine the source, either the local loop or the TR
DDS-R. During a remote end initiated loopback, the Total Reach system transmits ASC (9Eh)
toward the network, indicating an out-of-service condition generated by the remote end, as
shown in
All Total Reach system latching loopbacks, whether initiated by a
LBK
pushbutton, CO, or
from a remote Test Center, can be released by sending 35 DDS loop down TIP bytes
<X0111010> (where X is a “don’t care” bit). All existing latching loopbacks can also be
disabled by pressing the
LBK
pushbutton on the CO or remote unit.
