The
MON
jacks, when connected to a bit-error rate test set that is configured for monitoring
mode, provide a
non-intrusive
test access point for observing the transmit or receive signal. In
this configuration, synchronization, test patterns, and other functions can be observed.
Alternatively, the
MON
jacks can also be used for intrusive testing toward the network. To
utilize this configuration, perform the following steps:
1. Disconnect the H4TU-C DSX-1 interface by opening both the metallic splitting
TX
and
RX
EQ
jacks with either a bantam open plug or a bantam test cord that is not terminated.
2. Configure a test set for Terminate mode.
3. Connect the test set to the
MON
jacks. (Test access toward the network equipment is
achieved.)
4. Connect the output (TRANS) of the test set to the
MON RX
jack, and the input (REC) of the
test set to the
MON TX
jack.
A detailed description of testing via the Total Access 3000 H4TU-C Bantam Jack arrangement

H4TU-R Bantam Jacks
The DS1 bantam jacks provide access for DS1 signal monitoring.
The jacks labeled
MON
provide a test access point for monitoring the transmit and receive
signals at the DS1 interface point. The monitoring jacks can be used in two different ways:
1. The monitoring jack of an H4TU-R module provides a
nonintrusive
tap onto a signal line
and permits the connection of test equipment to monitor the characteristics of the signal
with the DS1 test set optioned for Monitor mode.
2. If the DS1 test set is optioned for Terminate mode and the customer DS1 is disconnected,
then the monitor jack of an H4TU-R module provides an
intrusive
tap and could be used
to transmit and receive signals between an H4TU-R module and the network.
