therefore the TNEG is fed directly to the RNEG input. This diagnostic loopback
can be used when configured as a multiplexer or as a framer only. The DS3
loopback mode is shown diagrammatically in Figure 25.
Figure 25: DS3 Diagnostic Loopback Diagram
DS3 Line Loopback
DS3 Line Loopbacks allow the received DS3 streams to be looped back into the
transmit DS3 paths, overriding the DS3 streams created internally by the
multiplexing of the lower speed tributaries. The transmit signals on TPOS/TDAT
and TNEG/TMFP are substituted with the receive signals on RPOS/RDAT and
RNEG/RLCV. The TCLK signal is also substituted with the receive DS3 clock,
RCLK. While this mode is active, AIS may be substituted for the DS3 payload
being transmitted on the TPOS/TDAT and TNEG/TMFP outputs. Note that the
transmit interface must be configured to be the same as the DS3 FRMR receive
interface for this mode to work properly. The DS3 line loopback mode is shown
diagrammatically in Figure 26. There is a second form of line loopback which
only loops back the DS3 payload. In this mode the DS3 framing overhead is
regenerated for the received DS3 stream and then retransmitted. Line loopback
is selected with the LLOOP bit in the DS3 Master Data source register and
payload loopback is selected by the PLOOP bit in the same register.
