(c)
IOR POWER DOWN (HLU)
(a) The left most bit arrives first in all sequences. The detection algorithm functions reliably with a random 10
(BER) on the facility. The entire arming and loopback sequence can also be initiated at the remote HRU location.
(b) The HRU identifies CREM (and the HLU identifies NLOC) with 231 bit errors, including the frame bits. When framed data is
being sent in the AUTO framing mode, the number of the 231 bit errors detected by the test set varies from 229 to 231,
depending on whether or not the test set counts frame errors as bit errors, and on the number of frame bits contained in the
block of 231 error bits. The HRU and HLU generate this bit pattern in a series of discontinuous bursts containing 20-bit errors
each, including frame bits. Those test sets that do not count frame error bits as data bit errors will indicate fewer bits than the
HRU and HLU transmit for a CI and NI loopback.
(c) The IOR Power Down code must remain present for the duration of the power down mode. When this code is removed, the
HiGain system returns to its normal unlooped and unarmed state.
