Test the patch cable by connecting one end to the test set Tx port and the other end to the test set Rx
port. If the test set does not run error-free, check the cable for damage and check the test set to make
sure it is set up correctly.
Install the loopback cable on the port you are testing. Connect the Tx connector to the Rx connector
of the port being tested.
Test the loopback cable by connecting one end to the test set Tx port and the other end to the test set
Rx port. If the test set does not run error-free, check the cable for damage and check the test set to
make sure it is set up correctly.
At the source node, attach the loopback cable to the port you are testing. Connect the test set to the
circuit source port. Connect the Tx port of the test set to the circuit Rx port, and the test set Rx port
to the circuit Tx port.
STM1 ports—You will test either an STM1c or a multiplexed STM1. If you are testing an STM1c,
configure the test set for an STM1c. If you are testing a multiplexed STM1, configure the test set
for a multiplexed STM1 and choose the DS-3 and/or E1 you will test. For information about
configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
