See Appendix A for details on DCE/DTE options and for instructions on setting the LIU
jumpers according to the end equipment configuration.
Unless specially ordered, the 2.048Mbps Wireless Modem with a V.35 or RS-530/X.21 LIU
is supplied from the factory with the settings DCE, internal clock.
Clock Polarity
The current selection is displayed (or a NOT DEFINED message, if a different LIU is used).
The selection determines if data bits are sampled on the negative or positive edge of the clock
signal. Non-standard sampling (negative edge for Transmit Clock and positive edge for
Receive Clock) should be selected only if a non-standard terminal equipment is used,
operating in accordance with a non-standard definition.
Loopback Mode Menu
Table 3-7. Loopback Mode Menu Items and Actions
If you are in loopback mode, a loopback is performed on the LIU input and also on the LIU
side connected to the modem, as described in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. Loopback Mode
In this situation the local Tx data is diverted back to the local Rx side of the DTE, and the
remote Tx data is diverted back to the remote Rx side. The loopback mode is useful for
pinpointing the source of certain problems. For example, if data is transmitted by the end
equipment in the loopback mode but nothing is received by the end equipment, then there is a
problem either in the cable(s) connecting the end equipment to the Wireless Modem or in the
end equipment itself. When the end equipment supports local loopback testing, this helps to
identify whether the source of the problem is in the end equipment or in the connection.
Problems in the modem itself can be identified in a similar fashion (assuming that reception
conditions are normal). See Chapter 4 for more details.
