Test equipment requirements

The following describes useful equipment for commissioning a DS-1 trunk.
DS-1 line simulator
A DS-1 line simulator/monitor can be used to verify the integrity of the
DS-1 trunks between a DMS-250 switch and a PBX. The line simulator can
perform the following tasks:
monitor a single path without being part of the primary path
be included in the path between the two systems and operate in either a
transparent mode or provide its own stimulus to the trunk
monitor the status of the trunk
monitor the information in the channels
simulate information in a given channel or an idle code in all channels
simulate the alarms
Error counter
An error counter detects BPVs or no-signal periods for DS-1 trunks. The
fault detection and isolation procedures are performed using a Thor portable
test package. This test package consists of one of each of the following
items:
Thor TTT2028 Mini Error Counter with an operation instruction card
test cable equipped with a bantam plug at one end and minihooks at the
other end
loopback plug with pin 3 shorted to pin 1 and pin 11 shorted to pin 9 (of
a 15-pin D-connector)
