AM64/128A User Manual Fr ont Panel Operation 13 5.2 Fr ont Panel Operation The LCD will display one of five menus at any one time, these menus are: 1. ST A TUS (Prompt is S>) 2. TEST (Prompt is T>) 3. RA TE (Prompt is R>) 4. OPTION (Prompt is O>) 5.
Status Menu AM64/128A User Manual 14 5.3 Status Menu The status menu is read only , which means the select button has no effect. It pr ovides the following data: (1) Overall status (2) Alarm messages (3) User data rate (4) Line rate (5) Interface status (6) Operating mode 5.
AM64/128A User Manual Alarm Status 15 5.3.2 Alarm Status The possible messages for this item are: S > No Alarm S > No Signal S > Receiving AIS S > No Alignment The S > No Signal display indicates that the transmission system cannot find a signal to lock on to.
Status Menu AM64/128A User Manual 16 5.3.3 User Rate This item displays the user rate in current use. A complete list is given in section 5.5 - Rate Menu. For example: S > 48K 10 5.3.4 Line Rate This has to be set locally to the BBM via the front panel and cannot be downloaded fr om the Master unit.
AM64/128A User Manual Menu Operation - Status Menu 17 5.3.6 Operating Mode The BBM is capable of operating in two basic modes: S > Link Mode S > Network Mode For a BBM to BBM link this display should read Link Mode. If however a Line Car d is used instead of a master BBM, then the display should read Network Mode.

AM64/128A User Manual T est Menu 19 With a G.703 Interface fitted, the application of a local loop will cause G.703 data to be looped back to the G.703 network at the G.703 interface (known as a Loop B / LCB loop on the G.703 linecard and standalone units) as shown in figure 5.
T est Menu AM64/128A User Manual 20 With a G.703 interface fitted, the application of a loopback will apply a loopback to line at the remote slave unit (known as an L TU loop on the G.703 linecard and standalone units). Note : It is not possible to “Hardwir e” a G.
AM64/128A User Manual T est Menu 21 5.4.3.2 Remote loop from DTE When the BBM receives an ART pattern (00110011) from the DTE (in X.21), or when cir cuit 140 is active (in X.21bis) the loopback is applied on the remote BBM similarly to the above. T o apply a remote loop in this fashion refer to your DTE handbook for details.
T est Menu AM64/128A User Manual 22 5.4.5 Data T est 5.4.5.1 Overview This mode allows the user to send a binary 0's pattern to the remote BBM and monitor the received data stream for err ors Note : every binary 1 received is tr eated as a single error .
AM64/128A User Manual T est Menu 23 The Data T est can be used to test the performance of a link (0 or 1 patterns on the two wire line are all AMI encoded and framed as described in section 3). Note: Apply any loops requir ed before entering Data T est Mode.
T est Menu AM64/128A User Manual 24 2/ Pattern display The pattern display usually shows Injecting 0s Pressing SELECT will cause binary 1s to be injected (e.g. for loop verification): Injecting 1s This pattern will continue to be injected until the SELECT key is pressed again, (or the mode is exited).
AM64/128A User Manual T est Menu 25 5.4.6 In Service T est 5.4.6.1 Overview This mode allows the error performance of the line to be monitor ed, without interrupting data traffic. This works by monitoring the accuracy of some of the overhead bits that make up the transmission frame structure.
T est Menu AM64/128A User Manual 26 5.4.7 Lamp T est This facility is used to check the LED’ s and the LCD display . T o activate the test choose the item T > Lamp T est Pressing SELECT will cause a complete line of blocks to show on the LCD. Simultaneously all the LED's should light up, for about 3 seconds.
AM64/128A User Manual T est Menu 27 However , the usage of the EEPROM (Blocks Used) is still displayed for information. For example: 000 means that the first block is in use and that there ar e 254 empty blocks. 254 means that the last block is being used and the chip is nearly full.
