>T1B STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > T1B INTERFACE ALARMS
Displays active alarms on the T1B link reported from both the local and remote TRACER 4206 units.
These alarms include Red, Blue, Yellow, AIS, and bipolar violations (BPV). See Table 1 on page 50 for
more information on these alarms.
>T1B STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > T1B LINE BUILD OUT
Configures the T1B for the appropriate line buildout, based on the distance to the T1B equipment.
>T1B STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > ALARM REPORTING
Determines whether the TRACER 4206 unit will report active alarms. If DISABLED, no alarms will be
displayed on this menu page. The Alarm Reporting parameter is independently configured for local and
remote TRACER 4206 units. When DISABLED, the front panel LED alarms will also be disabled (off).
>T1B STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > SIGNALING
Configure the framing format for the T1B link for both the local and remote TRACER 4206 units. The
TRACER 4206 transports T1B data across the link (as long as the T1B signal is properly timed).
Configure the framing format (using the
SIGNALING menu) to enable the TRACER 4206 to monitor the
incoming framing error events and indicate problems with the attached metallic service. The TRACER
4206 supports both
ESF and D4 framing formats.
>T1B STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > LINE CODE
Sets the line coding for the T1B link. The TRACER 4206 supports B8ZS and AMI line coding.
>T1B STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > LOOP/NORMAL STATE
Controls the loop status of the T1B link. Activates/deactivates loopback conditions for testing purposes.
>T1B STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK >LOOP/NORMAL STATE > NORMAL
The T1B link is in normal data transport mode - there are no active loopbacks.
>T1B STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK >LOOP/NORMAL STATE > LINK
Activates a loopback at the TRACER 4206 T1B framer towards the wireless link (see Figure 12). Use the
LINK loopback to test data path integrity from one unit across the wireless link.
