The Main Menu options are briefly described below. 3.2.2 System Configuration System Configuration options allow you to change various The default System Configuration menu looks like this: a aspects of the NetLink-T1™’s operation, e.g., framing, line coding, and aggregate bandwidth. System Diagnostics/Statistics options allow you to monitor b the network performance, initiate V.54 loops, local loops, and send test patterns. Network performance parameters are updated once a second, giving you t

3.2.3 System Diagnostics Remote Loop Idle (default) b The System Diagnostics/Statistics screen looks like this: The Remote Digital Loopback (RDL) test checks the performance of both the local and remote NetLink-T1™s, as well as the communica- tion link between them. Data from the local DTE is sent across the entire communication circuit and looped back to the local DTE. The NetLink-T1™ Initiating a RL can be in one of the following states: OK Idle No user-controlled loopbacks are active.

4.0 INSTALLATION 4.3 POWER CONNECTION The NetLink-T1™ is equipped with DTE, network, and power interfaces. This section briefly describes connection to each. The NetLink-T1™ offers three ways to supply external power: AC power, DC power and interface power. 4.1 DTE INTERFACE CONNECTION 4.3.1 Using the AC Power Supply (120VAC or 100-240VAC) The DTE interface is a V.35 DCE presented as an M/34 male con- nector. This interface is designed to plug directly into a DTE interface The NetLink

APPENDIX A 5.3 BIT ERROR RATE (V.52) DIAGNOSTICS PATTON NETLINK-T1 MODEL 2710 The NetLink-T1™ offers three V.52 Bit Error Rate (BER) test pat- SPECIFICATIONS terns. These test patterns may be invoked along with the LAL and RDL tests to evaluate the unit(s) and the communication links. WAN Speed: 1.544 Mbps When a 511, 2047, or QRSS test is invoked, the NetLink-T1™ 20 WAN Connection: RJ-48C generates a pseudo-random bit pattern of 511 bits, 2047 bits or 2 bits, respectively, using a mathe
