Issue 3 June 2000
the OC-1/OC-3/OC-12 transport overhead bytes. If the quality is not adequate, the 
system will switch to holdover until manually switched to a good reference. 
Automatic synchronization reconfiguration is always enabled; thus the system will 
automatically select the highest quality reference. See "Synchronization 
Messaging" in Chapter 5, "Transmission and Synchronization Interfaces" and the 
set-sync
 command in Chapter 11, "Commands and Reports." 
The system can be provisioned to revertive or nonrevertive timing mode switching. 
The default is revertive. If provisioned for revertive mode switching, the system 
automatically switches out of holdover mode to line timing when an unprotected 
timing reference failure clears. If provisioned for nonrevertive mode switching, the 
system must be manually switched from holdover mode to line timing mode when 
an unprotected timing reference failure clears. Refer to the 
rtrv-sync
, 
set-sync
, and 
switch-sync
  commands in Chapter 11, "Commands and 
Reports." 
Loopbacks 
9
The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer allows technicians to set up loopbacks on 
all low- and high-speed interfaces. Low-speed DS1/DS3 electronic loopbacks, 
directed toward the high-speed OC-1/OC-3/OC-12, can be individually controlled 
from the CIT. DS1/DS3 facility loopbacks toward the DSX can also be set up for 
DS1/DS3 signals. Active electronic loopbacks are noted by the user panel's 
abnormal (ABN) indicator and in the alarm and status report. Refer to the 
opr-
lpbk,opr-lpbk-t1 
and 
rls-lpbk-t1 
commands in Chapter 11, 
"Commands and Reports." 
Beginning with Release 3.1 of FiberReach,  the
 opr-lpbk-t3 
and 
rls-lpbk-t3 
commands are available when using the DS3 circuit packs in the 
Function Units slots. Refer to Chapter 11, "Commands and Reports,"  for 
explanations of these commands.
Front access to the OLIU optical connectors allows an easy manual OC-1, OC-3. 
or OC-12 optical loopback. This loopback is set up by connecting a fiber jumper 
from the OLIU output to its input. An optical attenuator is required for this 
loopback.
