Verifying Operation and
Testing Connections
Perform verification testing after any installation.
After installing and configuring the circuit (including
control and tributary DSUs, the DDS network, the DBMs
and their dial connections), perform a series of tests from
the control DSU to verify network operation (using either
the SDCP or NMS).
