Chapter 1 General Troubleshooting
Test the Electrical Cabling
Replace the suspected bad cabling (the cables from the test set to the DSx panel or the EIA ports) with

a known-good cable. For instructions, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the

If a known-good cable is not available, test the suspected bad cable with a test set. Remove the suspected
bad cable from the DSx panel or the EIA and connect the cable to the Tx and Rx terminals of the test
set. Run traffic to determine whether the cable is good or defective.

good circuit, the problem was probably the defective cable.
Replace the defective cable.
