Click the circuit you want to test.
From the Tools menu choose Circuits > Set Circuit State.
In the Set Circuit State dialog box, choose OOS-MT from the Target State drop-down menu.
If it is unchecked, check the Apply to drop ports check box.
Click Apply.
Test the patch cable by connecting one end to the test set transmit (TX) port and the other end to the
test receive (RX) port. 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.
Install the loopback cable on the port you are testing. Connect the transmit (TX) to the receive (RX)
of the port being tested.
Test the loopback cable by connecting one end to the test set transmit (TX) port and the other end
to the test receive (RX) port. 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.
At the source node attach the loopback cable to the port you are testing. Connect the test set to the
circuit source port: transmit (TX) port of the test set to the circuit receive (RX) port; test set receive
(RX) port to the circuit transmit (TX) port.
