Pattern Average Ones Dens-
ity
Maximum Zeros Circuit Stressed
All Ones (un-framed) 100% 0 Regenerator and DC current
All Ones (framed) 99.7% 1 Regenerator and DC current
5.7. ALL ZEROS TEST PATTERN
The ALL ZEROS test pattern must be used for verifying correct optioning for B8ZS line code. The all zero test pattern
should not be used as a stress test pattern.
5.8. BRIDGED TAP TEST
A problem, often encountered in the deployment of DS1 facilities via existing networks, is the "unrecorded" bridged tap.
A bridged tap is an unterminated pair of wires of unspecified length which generally occurs when service to one
customer is terminated and a portion of the same wire pair is re-used for a second customer. The wire run to the site of
the previous customer frequently remains connected. It is recommended that the bridged tap test pattern be used as a
tool to identify trouble conditions that may not be totally defined when using the standard stress tests. The test is used
on standard spans when other tests fail, or if a new pair is obtained on a maintenance case of trouble. This test is
conducted on the copper portion of the loop only.
Document T1M1.3/92-006R2, titled "A Technical Report on The Test Patterns for DS1 Circuits," is an excellent
resource for explanations of various test patterns used for testing DS1 circuits.
NOTE: For Maintenance, Bridged Tap tests are only required for a chronic trouble if the copper facilities were changed
to restore service. For Provisioning, Bridged Tap tests are only required when other stress test patterns fail on standard
spans.
5.9. NON-STANDARD TESTS - BILLABLE TESTS
Often, customers request the use of non-standard test patterns to identify DS1 circuit faults, e.g., the Daly Pattern (55
Octet). Trouble reports are not taken solely on the result of a failed 55 Octet test. Inform the customer that the pattern
they are requesting isn't an ATT standard test pattern. ATT will run the test pattern based upon the availability of test
sets that have the pattern requested. Circuits will not be redesigned based on the 55 Octet test. Follow normal
maintenance restoration procedures. ATT will not incur additional expense for engineering costs or redesigns with a
failed 55 Octet test.
NOTE:
The 55 Octet test and other non standard tests are billable tests for both provisioning and maintenance.
