8.2.7 USING T1 TEST EQUIPMENT TO PERFORM OUT-OF-SERVICE
TESTS
Use T1 test equipment to test T1 facilities on an out-of-service basis, as illustrated in Figure 8-4. For
compatibility with all carrier networks, we recommend that you use test equipment that is capable of
generating framed T1 signals.
In a carrier central office, T1 out-of-service testing generally takes place at a DSX-1 bay. At a
customer site, testing can be done using the test jacks at the T1 Channel Service Unit (CSU).
