Crocus CNV Diagnostic tests
Reference manual 145
11.5.3 Remote digital loop
Initiating the RDL test establishes a digital loop on the remote Crocus CNV. This loop is compliant to loop
2 as described in the ITU-T recommendation V.54.
The loop is situated immediately behind the DTE interface of the remote Crocus CNV, schematically
represented as follows:
An RDL test can be ended by sending a 2^15-1 pattern.
How to use this test?
Example:
Suppose you have a set-up with two Crocus CNVs connected with each other through their onboard
G703 interfaces (i.e. a simple “modem” connection).
Phase Description
1 Start an RDL test on the local Crocus CNV or start a DL test on the remote Crocus CNV.
⇒ A digital loop is established on the remote Crocus CNV.
2 Start an ET test on the local Crocus CNV.
⇒ A test pattern is sent down the line.
3 Because the remote side is in a digital loop, the test pattern returns to the local Crocus
CNV.
4 The detector receives this test pattern, and can compare it with the original transmitted
pattern.
⇒ The quantity of inconsistencies that might exist between the original and the returned
pattern could be an indication of the line quality.
