ASMi-52L Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics 6.5 Testing ASMi-52L The user-controlled test functions of ASMi-52L consists of the loopback tests and LEDs test. The purpose of these tests is to determine the source of a break in the data flow. Note • Loopbacks are supported in X.21 and V.35 versions only. • Both local and remote ASMi-52L units must be configured and synchronized properly to allow remote loopback activation.
ASMi-52L Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics The Diagnostics menu is displayed (see Figure 6-12). 2. From the Diagnostics menu, select: Local Test to run the LLB on the local ASMi-52L Remote Test to run the LLB on the remote ASMi-52L. The Local/Remote Test menu appears (see Figure 6-13). 3. Select LLB. The LLB value in parenthesis changes to ON. Also, an additional parameter, Loop Timeout, is displayed for the local ASMi-52L. 4.
ASMi-52L Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Running the Remote Loopback The remote loopback (RLB) checks the performance of both the local and remote ASMi-52L modems, and the lines connecting them (see Figure 6-14). ASMi-52L allows you to set the loopback timeout causing the RLB to deactivate automatically after the desired period of time.
ASMi-52L Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics To activate the remote loopback at SHDSL repeater: 1. From the Diagnostics menu, select Repeater Test. The Repeater Test menu appears (see Figure 6-16). 2. From the Repeater Test menu, select Repeater Number and choose repeater at which you intend to activate the RLB Network. 3. From the Repeater Test menu, select RLB Network. The RLB Network value in parenthesis changes to ON.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics ASMi-52L Installation and Operation Manual Running the LEDs Test The user can perform the front-panel LED test to verify that the local unit indicators are functioning properly. To run the LEDs test: 1. From the Diagnostics menu (see Figure 6-12), select Local Test to run the LEDs test on the local ASMi-52L. The Local Test menu is displayed (see Figure 6-13). 2. Select LEDs Test. All the front-panel LED indicators light up for two seconds. 6.
