B. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on the system.
C. If the BER test equipment indicates a fault, and the Local
Analog Loopback test was successful for both Model 1045s, you may
have a problem with the twisted pair line between the modems. You
should then check the twisted pair line for proper connections and
continuity.
5.3.3 Using the V.52 BER Test Independently
The V.52 BER test can be used independently of the V.54 loopback
tests. This requires two operators: one to initiate and monitor the test
at the local Model 1045, and one at the remote Model 1045. To use the
V.52 BER test by itself, both operators should simultaneously follow
these steps:
1. Locate the “511/511E” toggle switch on the front panel of the
1045 and move it DOWN. This activates the V.52 BER test mode and
transmits a “511” test pattern to the other unit. If any errors are present,
the receiving modem’s red “Error” LED will blink sporadically. Note:
For this test to function, the “511” switch on both Model 1045s must be
on.
2. If the test indicates no errors are present, move the V.52 toggle
switch UP, activating the “511/E” test with errors present. If the test is
working properly, the receiving modem's red “Error” LED will glow. A
successful “511/E” test will confirm that the link is in place, and that the
Model 1045’s built-in “511” generator and detector are working properly.
5.4 POWER-DOWN
Turn off the Model 1045 by unplugging the AC power adapter from
the wall. There is no power switch on the Model 1045.

5.3 TEST MODES
The Model 1045 offers two V.54 test modes to evaluate the
condition of the modems and the communication link. These tests can
be activated physically from the front panel, or via the interface. Note:
V.54 test modes on the Model 1045 are available for point-to-point
applications only.
5.3.1 Local Analog Loopback (LAL)
The Local Analog Loopback (LAL) test checks the operation of the
local Model 1045, and is performed separately on each unit. Any data
sent to the local Model 1045 in this test mode will be echoed (returned)
back to the user device. For example, characters typed on the
keyboard of a terminal will appear on the terminal screen. To perform a
LAL test, follow these steps:
A. Activate LAL. This may be done in one of two ways: First, by
moving the front panel toggle switch DOWN to “LAL”. Second, by
raising pin 18 on the interface. (Note: Make sure DIP switch SW1-8 is
OFF). Once LAL is activated, the Model 1045 transmit output is
connected to its own receiver. The “test” LED should be lit.
B. Verify that the data terminal equipment is operating properly
and can be used for a test. If a fault is indicated, call a technician or
replace the unit.
C. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on each unit. If the BER test
equipment indicates no faults, but the data terminal indicates a fault,
follow the manufacturer’s checkout procedures for the data terminal.
Also, check the interface cable between the terminal and the Model
1045.
5.3.2 Remote Digital Loopback (RDL)
The Remote Digital Loopback (RDL) test checks the performance
of both the local and remote Model 1045s, and the communication link
between them. Any characters sent to the remote Model 1045 in this
test mode will be returned back to the originating device. For example,
characters typed on the keyboard of the local terminal will appear on
the local terminal screen after having been passed to the remote Model
1045 and looped back. To perform an RDL test, follow these steps:
A. Activate RDL. This may be done in two ways: first, by moving
the front panel toggle switch UP to “RDL”. Second, by raising pin 21 on
the interface. (Note: Make sure SW1-8 is OFF).
