6.6. Local Digital Loopback – LDL
The local digital loopback is used to test the external link and both directions of data transmission. Figure
18 shows an example of the test conditions.

6.7. Operation via terminal
The terminal can configure, monitor and test aggregate interfaces. It also provides information about what
cards are installed.
DM16E1 and DM4E1 accept both optic and electric aggregate interfaces. Configurations for both types are
the same. This chapter can be used as reference for the configuration of electric aggregate interfaces.
For further information on how to open the configuration menus, see chapter 3.10.2.
6.8. Configuration
The aggregate configuration menu (/settings/port/Agg) is shown in screen below:

•
Operation: Configures card activation. Leds are off when the card is inactive.
•
Alarms: Configures alarm generation by the port. The alarm is set off every time E3 frame
synchronization is lost in the Main aggregate interface, or when maintenance signals from the Backup link
fail.
•
Tests: Configures test activation on the interface.
•
Operation Mode: Configures the aggregate interface as either Main or Backup. For operation
without backup, the single aggregate interface must be configured as Main; when two aggregate
interfaces are in operation, one must be configured as Main and the other as Backup.
