Use of a Cross Cable for Testing T1/E1 Ports and Modems
Two tests can be performed with the cross cable: one tests the two T1/E1 ports while the other tests the 2 ports
and the modems. The pin diagram of the cross cable is shown in Appendix B. Before starting the tests, connect
the two T1/E1 ports using the cross cable.

Testing the Two T1/E1 Ports

1. In the CyROS main menu, choose the following menu options: DEBUG =>HARDWARE TESTS=>HW DEBUG.

Choose to test ports T1/E1 2 and T1/E1 3. (Slot 2 is T1/E1 port 1 and slot 3 is T1/E1 port 2.)

2. In the T1/E1 2 Tests Menu, select Comm. Test (master).

3. In the T1/E1 3 Tests Menu, select Comm. Test (slave).

The screen output of the test should appear as shown in the following figure.
