TEST MODE C - ANALOG LOOP BACK WITH TEST DATA
Test Mode C also loops the transmit channel’s analog output signal to the
input of the receive channel. However, the transmitted data is provided by an
on-board test data generator. The test data consists of alternating mark and
space bits. The test data has a Baud rate of 19,200. The receive and transmit
channels are left terminated but are disconnected from the test data (i.e., test
data is not sent to the network). In Test Mode C the Tst2 and Tst1 LEDs are
both on. The CD LED will flash as an indication that the test data is being
received properly. The RTS, CTS and Xmt indicators will illuminate depend-
ing upon the status of the DTE interface. However, these signals are ignored
in Test Mode C. The Rcv indicator will be on.
Test Mode C can also be used to test the modem separately from the network
and DTE. If a DTE is connected it should display a sequence of U characters
(i.e., ASCII code 85).
This completes the chapter on how to operate the LDM-1. The next chapter
describes maintenance of the modem.
TIP: Test Mode C requires an equalization setting of 1 (i.e., minimum).
