OPERATION
The NTU-8F provides a platform to exchange data between four G.703 interfaces and an
optical fiber interface. The customer data connection is via the RJ-45 connector on the unit.
An optical fiber interface is provided for communication with the loop. The NTU-8F operates
with an LTU-8 at the other end of the fiber optic cable.
FRONT PANEL PUSHBUTTON
Pushbuttons on the front panel (

Local Loop/ERR INJ
With a port selected, and a Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) is not in
progress, press the
LOCAL LOOP/ERR INJ
button to either initiate or
terminate a local loop on the selected port.
If a BERT is in progress, press the button to inject a single bit error.
