5.0 OPERATION
Once you have configured the Model 2040 properly (see Section
3.0) and have correctly connected DTE, DCE and power (see Section
4.0), you are ready to operate the unit. This section describes the LED
status monitors and loopback test modes.
5.1 BACK PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model 2040 features two LEDs that are located on the back
panel. Figure 9 below shows the positions of the LEDs. Following
Figure 9 is a description of each LED.
Status Glows green to indicate that both DTR (from the DTE
device) and DSR (from the DCE device) are active.
This LED will not
be illuminated whenever one of the
two signals are inactive.
Test Mode Glows red to indicate that either one or both of the test
modes are active (See Section 5.2 for a description of
the test modes).
5.2 TEST MODES
The Model 2040 supports two loopback modes that may be used
to evaluate the condition of the communication links. These modes,
(Local Loopback (LL) and Remote Loopback (RL), are always initiated
by the signals on the DTE device (See Figure 10). This section
describes both loopback modes.
NOTE: HSSI supports a third loopback mode: Local Digital
Loopback (LDL). However, V.35 does not support this mode. In
order to use LDL, the V.35 device must be programmed to respond
according the the HSSI specification for LDL (See TIA/EIA-613,
Section 6.2.1 Local Digital Loopback (Loop A)).
