If errors exist the loopbacks can help determine the
source; either the local loop or the Total Reach OCU-R.
During a remote end initiated loopback the Total Reach
system transmits ASC 9Eh towards the network,
indicating an out-of-service condition generated by the
remote end, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
All Total Reach system latching loopbacks, whether
initiated by the craft interface, LBK push-button, CO, or
from a remote Test Center, may be disabled by sending
35 DDS loop down TIP bytes <X0111010> (Where “X”
is a “don’t care bit”). All existing latching loopbacks
may also be disabled by pressing the LBK pushbutton
on the CO or remote units.
4. CONTROL PORT OPERATION
The Total Reach OCU-R provides a front panel DB-9
connector that supplies an RS-232 interface for
connection to a controlling terminal. The pinout of the
DB-9 is illustrated in Figure 11.
Figure 11. DB-9 Cable Side Pin Assignments
The terminal interface operates at data rates from 1.2
kbps to 19.2 kbps. The asynchronous data format is
fixed at 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The
supported terminal type is VT100 or compatible.
NOTE
When conducting a Terminal Session, always
select VT100 mode in the settings menu prior
to making the craft connection.
NOTE
If using a personal computer with terminal
emulation capability, disable all power saving
programs. Otherwise, communication between
the PC and the Total Reach OCU-R may be
disrupted, resulting in misplaced characters or
screen time outs.
Operation
The Total Reach OCU-R is ready for synchronization
and operation upon insertion in the shelf or housing.
When synchronized, terminal sessions provide access to
screen menus for provisioning, monitoring, testing, or
obtaining performance history. Terminal session
screen access is available at any time during operation.
The screens shown in this practice identify the main
menu screens; subordinate screens are not depicted.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations used in the screen diagrams are
explained below:
• ES (Errored Seconds): A count of the number of
seconds in which at least one code violation was
detected on a digital circuit.
– Total Reach Interface (DSL): Second in which a
CRC error occurs
– Customer DDS Interface: Second in which an il-
legal bipolar violation occurs
• UAS (Unavailable Seconds): A count of the
number of seconds that a circuit or path is not avail-
able.
– Total Reach Interface (DSL): Will accumulate
upon the loss of loop synchronization or the oc-
currence of 7 errored seconds in a period of 20
seconds. UAS will stop accumulating upon the
occurrence of 30 consecutive non-Errored Sec-
onds
– DDS Customer Interface: Will accumulate upon
the loss of sealing current (LOOP OPEN), loss of
receive signal (LOS), loss of secondary channel
framing (LOF), or when the illegal bipolar viola-
tion error rate is >1E-3 for at least 10 seconds.
UAS will stop accumulating upon the occurrence
of 10 consecutive non-Severely Errored Seconds
• BPV (Illegal Bipolar Violation)
– DDS Customer Interface: Two consecutive puls-
es of the same polarity or violation received that
does not alternate in polarity with respect to the
prior violation
• INV (Invalid Frame Relay Frame)
– Any frame with a CRC error
– Any frame containing fewer than five octets
– Any frame containing more than 8191 octets
– Any frame that does not contain an integral num-
ber of octets
– Any frame containing a frame abort
