Hands-on Labs

Lab 1: Install a T1 circuit from demarcation point through local distribution wiring to a CSU.

Lab 2: Use test equipment to see signaling states and T1 framing conditions.

Lab 3: Configure station equipment-option DTE.

Lab 4: Perform loopback tests through system components.

Lab 5: Use test equipment to verify various failure conditions found on in-service spans.

Lab 6: Perform Bellcore standard acceptance tests on T1 circuits.

Lab 7: Verify correct framing options.

Lab 8: Benchmark the systems using T1 test equipment to perform tests of signal level, BPVs, frequency, frame slips, EFS and bit errors; verify channel operation.

Lab 9: Your systems will be made to fail. Determine the problem, the equipment causing the problem and, if possible, correct the problem.
