5.0 OPERATION
Once you have configured each Model 1060 properly and connect-
ed it, simply plug in the AC power adapter to get it running; there is no
power switch on the Model 1060. You can monitor the operation of the
Model 1060 using the front panel LED indicators and built-in loopback
test modes.
5.1 LED INDICATORS
The Model 1060 incorporates six front panel LEDs that show the
status of the modem:
1. The power LED glows when AC power is applied to the modem.
2. The loopback test LED glows when the loopback test switch
has been depressed and is in a test mode.
3. The tri-state TD and RD indicators blink red and green with
data activity. Solid red indicates a low RS-232 logic level and no color
indicates no activity on the line. Note: RS-232 devices idle in a low
state, so the LED will glow red if the connections are correct and the
RS-232 device is in an idle state.
4. The control in and control out indicators glow red for a "low"
signal and green for a "high" signal. The specific pin number associat-
ed with these indicators will vary according to the switch settings you
have selected (see Section 3.0 Configuration).
5.2 LOOPBACK TEST MODES
Select the test modes by depressing the “Loopback Test” switch.
When in loopback mode, the “Loopback Test” LED will glow red. Two
tests ar possible using this switch: Local Analog Loop (LAL), and
Remote Analog Loop (RAL).
5.2.1 Local Analog Loop
The first test mode is Local Analog Loop (V.54 Loop 3). Any data
sent to the local Model 1060 in this mode will be echoed (returned)
back to the user device. For example, characters typed on ther key-
board of a terminal will appear on the terminal screen (see figure 5 on
the following page).
5.2.2 REMOTE ANALOG LOOP
The second test mode is the Remote Analog Loop. To enter this
mode, set one of the Model 1060s (local) in test mode by depressing
the “Loopback” switch. Any characters sent from the remote 1060 will
be returned to it (see figure 5). If no characters are echoed back, check
the wiring between the two Model 1060s. Be sure to wire the units
according to the instructions in Section 4.0.
