Back-to-Back Testing

For purposes of testing the Model DP503 and Model DP524 in a back-to-back
configuration, a special cable must be constructed. Note that a DTE to DTE
connection is not supported by the RS-449 specification; a standard 37-wire cable
cannot be used to connect the units together. The special cable connects the TT
outputs of the DP503 directly to the ST inputs of the DP503, and to the RT inputs
of the DP524. This cable also connects the SD outputs of the DP503 to the RD
inputs of the DP524, and connects the signal grounds (SG) of the two units. One
end of the cable should be labeled as Encoder (DP503), and the other as Decoder
(DP524.

Dolby Fax Cable Pinout, Part No. 83293

A Dolby Fax installation requires the use of a supplied “Y” cable, two of whose
