General
Purpose
This document replaces regional documents for 13 state conformity. Special Services Test Centers Management
requested a team to update test parameters to include High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL).
This document defines basic stress testing functions for DS1 services and testing parameters to enable the Special
Services Test Center (SSTC) tester and Special Services Installation & Maintenance (SSIM) technician to determine
which tests will be run for acceptance of new DS1 circuits.
Stress tests are used in several ways:
•
Pre-service testing to ensure that a DS1 facility meets objectives for characteristic parameters before it is turned
up for service
•
Trouble verification in response to a trouble report or indication
•
Sectionalizing confirmed faults
•
Verification of repair
The stress tests performed that pertain to installation and maintenance stress testing use specific bit patterns for AMI
and B8ZS line codes. These tests are time dependent with stipulated performance requirements of zero errors. The
testing functions described in Attachment 1 - Section 6, should be used for installation and maintenance of all 1.544
Mb/s, High-Capacity Digital Services.
Scope
An installation test on a typical circuit will require the use of these stress tests to ensure proper turn-up. For mainten-
ance, the choice of a useful sequence must be made by the tester and is dependent upon the trouble reported or an
indication of what the trouble may be. Decision logic for trouble isolation is not defined to allow the tester to choose the
next function to be performed based on previous results. Trouble isolation logic or sequence may vary by area; there-
fore, local methods and procedures should be used to perform trouble isolation and repair functions. The functions
included are intended for use in providing testing support for installation and maintenance stress tests of DS1 services.
Stress tests are applied to a circuit to identify or confirm that a circuit or facility is within acceptable test parameters.
Circuits are stressed by applying a maximum or minimum ones-density pattern, that is, all-ones signal versus a 1-in-8
signal(B8ZS)or 3 in 24(AMI).
