9. Repeat Steps 5 through 8 as desired to observe bit error rate 
characteristics. Also, wait 1 to 10 minutes between Steps 5 through 7. One 
minute without errors translates to better than a 1 in 10 to the eighth error 
rate. Ten minutes without errors translates to better than a 1 in 10 to the 
ninth error rate.
10. If the test runs for 1 minute with an error count of 0, confirm that the 3-in-24 
pattern error detector is operating properly by entering test ds1-loop 
<location> inject-single-bit-error. This causes the 3-in-24 pattern 
generator on the DS1 circuit pack to inject a single-bit error into the 
transmit pattern. A subsequent list meas ds1 summary <location> 
command displays the bit error count. If a count greater than 1 is 
displayed, replace the ICSU and retest. If the problem continues, replace 
the DS1 circuit pack.
11. Terminate the test by entering test ds1-loop <location> end 
cpe-loopback-jack-test. Wait about 30 seconds for the DS1 to re-frame 
on the incoming signal and clear DS1 facility alarms.
Loopback termination fails under the following conditions:
a. The span is still looped somewhere. This could be at the loopback 
jack, at the ICSU, or somewhere in the network. This state is 
indicated by a fail code of 1313. If the red LED on the loopback 
jack is on, replace the ICSU. Re-run the test and verify that the 
loopback test terminates properly. If not, replace the DS1 circuit 
pack and repeat the test.
b. The DS1 cannot frame on the incoming span’s signal after the 
loopback jack is powered down. This means that there is 
something wrong with the receive signal into the loopback jack 
from the “dumb” block or the Smart Jack. If the service provider 
successfully looped and tested the span, up to the Smart Jack, this 
condition isolates the problem to the wiring between the loopback 
jack and the Smart Jack. Refer to “Loopback Jack Fault Isolation 
Procedures” for information on how to proceed in this case. The 
test cannot be successfully terminated until a good signal is 
received. To properly terminate the test before a good receive 
signal is available, enter reset board <location>. 
12. Restore the “TX LBO” field to the original value recorded in Step 2. 
13. Release the DS1 circuit pack using the release board UUCCSSpp 
command. 
14. Leave the loopback jack connected to the DS1 span.
