PRBS And Looping Facilities

THE LOOPING AND PRBS INSERTION FACILITIES ON A TERMINAL OR REPEATER
CAN BE CONTROLLED FROM A REMOTE SUPERVISORY UNIT, BOTH FACILITIES
CAN BE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY, BUT NOT ON THE SAME TERMINAL.
A PC OR A HHT, (HAND HELD TERMINAL), CONNECTED TO THE SUPERVISORY
UNIT IS USED FOR THIS PURPOSE.
THE LOOPING CAN BE PERFORMED AT THREE DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE SYSTEM,
- THE IF-INTERFACE BETWEEN THE TRANSCEIVER AND THE MODEM UNITS
- 8.448 Mb/s BETWEEN MODEM AND BITINSETION / EXTRACTION
- AT THE 2Mb/s OUTPUTS FROM THE MULTIPLEXER
ERRORS DETECTED WHILE USING THE PRBS FACILITY ARE DISPLAYED ON THE
PC OR THE HHT.
THE PRBS INSERTION IS USED ON ONLY ONE OF THE 2Mb/s INPUTS AT THE TIME,
SELECTED BY THE SUPERVISORY UNIT.
A PRBS SEQUENCE OF 2 15 -1 IS USED.
