After selecting the loopback activity, the Select Port Number to
Receive Loopback Request
screen appears.

4. Select the data port to loop up by typing its number (1 or 2 for a DIU

2130 or DIU 1130;1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 for a DIU 2140) and pressing

, or press

to cancel the operation.

5. If you are activating a DIU loopback, a warning message now

appears telling you that the selected test will place the data port out
of service. A prompt also appears, asking you to confirm that you
want to proceed with the loopback. To do so, type

Y

. Any other

response aborts the test.

6. If you are deactivating a DIU loopback and previously changed the

timing mode of the CSU, restore the CSU to its original timing.

7. All loopbacks you have activated (i.e., loop up) will remain active

until you deactivate (i.e., loop down) them.

Testing CSUs

This procedure applies to AS2000 CSU circuit elements only.

If the CSU is used with a DIU, and a CSU loopback is required,
determine the appropriate CSU timing for that loopback. For example,
avoid tests with no timing source: when an LLB is set and the network
does not supply timing, then NET timing the unlooped CSU is invalid and
introduces errors in the test.

When this test is complete, you will remove the loopback and restore the
CSU to its original timing.

You will then configure the CSU timing that is required for this test.
