Front Panel Display
The front panel display is used with the MODE and SEL buttons to display system diagnostic messages. Refer to
Table 4
for a listing of the four character messages.
The front panel display turns on when power is initially applied to the HLU-231. To conserve power, the display
only remains on for 4 minutes. The use of the MODE or SEL buttons activates the front panel display and restarts
the 4-minute, power-control timer.

Displays four-character status, provisioning, and alarm system messages.
Permits the user options to be monitored and modified without the need of a maintenance
terminal. Used to initiate all HiGain loopbacks and to display DSX-1 line parameters and line unit

See
Table 3
for status descriptions.
Provides splitting jack access to (XMT) and from (RCV), the HDSL span at the DSX-1 interface.
Breaks the XMT and RCV paths to permit test signal insertion and retrieval.
Provides non-intrusive bridging jack access to (XMT) and from (RCV) the HDSL span at the DSX-1
interface. Allows the two T1 payloads to be monitored.
Provides bidirectional communication between the unit and an external terminal to allow
configuration and performance monitoring through the Maintenance Terminal screens.
Provides the human-readable Common Language Equipment Identifier (CLEI) code number and
the Equipment Catalog Item (ECI) bar code number.
The configuration number is a two or three-digit number that is either the last digits of a 5 or 6-digit
warranty control number or is a standalone number of two or three digits. For example, a warranty
control number of "80107" would indicate a warranty beginning in the year 1998 (8), during the
month of January (01), and the unit's configuration number of 7 (07).
