2.2.9  Test Access Mode Definitions
Example 2-16 ED-STS1::STS-1-1:TACC=4;    Creates TAP with STS-1-1 and STS-1-2 through NE1. TAP 
number assigned is 4.
Example 2-17 CONN-TACC-STS1::<AID A or B>:102::4:<MD>    Connects TAP 4 to the circuit.
Note The I and J connections above are TAPs in Figure 2-3, but normal connections in the Figure 2-4 
configuration.
2.2.9 Test Access Mode Definitions
The following diagrams show what the different test access modes <MD> refer to. Figure 2-5 shows a 
circuit with no access (dual FAD TAP) and Figure 2-6 shows a circuit with no access (single FAD TAP), 
followed by all the modes. The QRS can be generated by an outside source, for example, the empty 
connection of the BRTU.
MONE, MONF, and MONEF access modes are non-service effecting and can be applied to an IS (in 
service) port state.
LOOPE, LOOPF, SPLTE, SPLTF, SPLTEF, SPLTA, SPLTB, and SPLTAB access modes are intrusive and 
can be applied only to a circuit/port that is in the OOS_MT (out of service, maintenance) port state. The 
NE will change the state of the circuit under test to OOS_MT during the period of TACC and restore it 
to the original state when the connection between the TAP and the circuit is dropped.
