transmit (Tx) connector and the other end to the test set receive (Rx) connector. 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 before
continuing.
Step 11 Create a physical loopback at the circuit destination card:
Attach one end of a patch cable to the destination port transmit (Tx) connector.
a.
Attach the other end to the port receive (Rx) connector.
b.
At the circuit source card:
Step 12
Connect the transmit (Tx) connector of the test set to the circuit receive (Rx) connector.
a.
Connect the test set receive (Rx) connector to the circuit transmit (Tx) connector.
b.
Verify that the test set displays a clean signal. If a clean signal is not displayed, repeat Steps
Step 13
10 to make sure the test set and cabling are configured correctly.
Inject BIT errors from the test set. To verify that you have a complete end-to-end circuit, verify that the
Step 14
errors display at the test set.

Although a service interruption under 60 ms may occur, the test circuit should continue to work before,
during, and after the switches. If the circuit stops working, do not continue. Contact your next level of
support.
In network view, click the other circuit source span and complete the

again, refer to the next level of support.
After all tests are successfully completed and no alarms exist in the network, the network is ready for
service application. Continue with
