Pattern Generation

The T1 ESF CSU ACE offers three test patterns: All Ones, All Zeros, and 1:8. These patterns can be

initiated from the front panel, through the EIA-232 control port, or remotely via a management software

like T-Watch.

All Ones

The All Ones pattern sends ones in all the payload bits.

All Zeroes

The All Zeros pattern sends zeros in all the payload bits and is useful for testing line code configuration

(AMI/B8ZS mismatches).

1 in 8 (1:8)

Each channel of the T1 has only one bit set. This pattern is used in conjunction with external test

equipment to determine whether the T1 line is performing acceptably under a stress condition.
