Service change entries

The trunk type, terminating impedance, and balance network are selected by
making service change entries in the Trunk Administration program LD 14.

See Table 193 on

page 621

for the proper values for the trunk type and loop

length. Refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for
LD 14 service change instructions.

Before the appropriate balance network can be selected, the loop length
between the near-end and the far-end (a Central Office, for example) must be
known. To assist in determining loop length, some typical resistance and loss
values for the most common cable lengths are given in Table 194 on

page 622

for comparison with values obtained from actual measurements.
