Chapter 6 Test and Diagnostics
There are red or yellow alarm indicators on the front panel of each card, designed to indicate corresponding failure. For
example, the "Sig Loss" on E1 card means that no E1 signal is received. "Sync LOSS" indicates that E1 frame synchronization
errors have occurred.
This device is equipped with "E1 Local Loop" and "E1 To Remote Loop" functions, which can be used to facilitate the
diagnostics and tests. These loops can be set and/or cancelled via programming (console intervention).
6.1 E1 Local Loop
Figure 6.1: Local Loop
Near the external side of E1 interface, the RX interface is disconnected from external E1 line (see figure 6-1), then looped back
from TX. This aims to test the device at the user side. Connect a bit error rate tester (such as CTC Union's HCT-6000 BERT)
to any user data port to check error rate.
6.2 E1 To Remote Loop
Figure 6.2: To Remote Loop
Near the external side of E1, the TX and RX are connected to form a 'To Remote Loop' (see figure 6-2), which is used to test
the line and the device at the remote side. Connect a bit error rate tester (such as CTC Union's HCT-6000 BERT) to any user
data port of the remote side device, and check for bit errors.
Figure 6.3: end-to-end bi-directional test
Connect BERT equipment to corresponding user ports of devices at both sides, perform error code testing, and check the data
transmission quality for devices and relevant branches. Please see figure 6.3.
