T1 Dial Backup Option Overview

5-12

Verilink

CAUTION

If you are testing a failed T1 circuit after the T1 Dial Backup Option has

switched the data to the backup circuit, you must first disable the

automatic feature as described in Configuring Modes for Dial Backup, on

page 58. Otherwise, the T1 Dial Backup Option can prematurely switch the

data back to the failed line if it senses a continuously reliable test pattern.

When the T1 circuit is reinstated, you can switch the T1 Dial Backup

Option back to automatic.
