Test and Diagnostics Capabilities 
Optimux-108 has comprehensive test and diagnostics capabilities that include 
local and remote loopbacks on the uplink interface and on each E1 tributary link. 
A local loopback is also supported on the optional V.35 user port. 
Maintenance is further enhanced by an automatically performed self-test on 
power up. 
For activation of loopbacks, see 
Chapter 5
. 
Alarms and Alarm Indications 
Uplink and Tributaries 
Optimux-108 detects the following alarm conditions on each E1 and uplink 
interface: 
•  Loss of input signal 
•  Loss of frame synchronization (on uplink only) 
•  Reception of alarm indication (AIS) signal, which consists of a continuous 
sequence of ‘1’s (on the tributary only) 
When not all the tributaries are in use, you can disable the alarm indications 
related to the unused tributaries through the software, see 
Chapter 5
. 
V.35 User Port 
On the V.35 interface, Optimux-108 detects the Missing DTR signal (relevant only 
for ISO 2110 pinout). 
This alarm should be masked when using Telebras and M34 cable (see Chapter 6).
