5.3 LOOPBACK TEST (LAL)
The Model 2703RC is equipped with a Local Analog Loopback
(LAL) mode to assist in evaluating the operation of the local Model
2703RC. Any data sent to the local Model 2703RC in this test mode
will be echoed (returned) back to the user device. For example, char-
acters typed on the keyboard of a terminal will appear on the terminal
screen.
To perform a LAL test, follow these steps:
A.
Activate LAL by moving the front panel toggle switch UP and
holding it in the “Loopback” mode. The “Loop” LED should
glow. Once LAL is activated, the Model 2703RC transmit
output is connected to its own receiver. (Note: The front
panel switch is spring loaded, so it will return to “Normal”
operating mode when pressure is released.)
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 indi
cates a fault, follow the manufacturer’s checkout procedures
for the data terminal. Also, check the interface cable between
the terminal and the Model 2703RC.
