Remote Loop Verify
Access-T provides a Remote Loop Verify command so the near end can easily
determine if the far end is in loopback toward the line. The command causes
Access-T to transmit QRSS for about five seconds and to monitor the received
signal for QRSS; if a loopback to the line exists, the QRSS signal will be returned.
The Remote Loop Verify test can be performed in the full T1 bandwidth or in the
Port #, Aux, or idle channels. Each option detects different loopbacks, as follows:
•
FULL
—Detects LS Line and DS Line.
•
IDLE
—Detects LS Line and DS Line.
•
PORT1, 2, 3,
or 4—Detects CS Line of selected channel.
•
AUX
—Detects external CS Line loops.
Testing in the idle channel prevents interruption of data. However, to determine
whether a CS Line loopback exists at the far end, tests must be performed in the
specific port channel.
To perform the Remote Loop Verify test, follow these steps:
1.
From the Main Menu Line, select
TEST
.
2.
Select
LINE LOOP
.
3.
Select
REMOTE-VERIFY
.
4. Select the desired bandwidth option (
FULL
,
PORT1
,
PORT2
,
PORT3
,
PORT4
,
AUX PORT
, or
IDLE
).
5.
Press the
Enter
key. After the
Enter
key is pressed, Access-T sends
QRSS for about 5 seconds. During this time, the words
WAITING FOR
VERIFICATION
appears in the Menu and Report Display Area. The test
lasts about ten seconds, after which time the display will show
LOOP
VERIFIED
or
NO LOOP VERIFIED
.
Note:
Do not activate the Remote Loop Verify com-
mand while a local loopback is active or while QRSS
is being generated. Results may be inaccurate.
