Passed
The DSU has been plugged in or
reset and has passed the diagnostic
test. There are no other status

No action needed.
Network Interface Status
The network interface status fields are read-only:
Line Rate (Kbps). If the DSU is connected to an operating line and the Line
Rate (Kbps) shows Autobaud and does not change to a line rate within about
15 seconds, Line Rate (Kbps) may have to be reconfigured manually. Refer
to
Network Interface Options
, Table A-2.
Loop Loss (dB). The loop loss is the loss of signal strength of the receive line
signal from the local loop.
