A T1 loopback plug can be made by taking a male RJ-45 connector
and placing two short jumper wires where a cable would normally
go. One jumper is placed from pin 1 to pin 5, the other jumper
connects pin 2 to pin 4. See

Figure 5-5

for

a drawing of a T1

loopback plug.

NOTE: When using a T1 loopback plug it might be necessary to

temporarily change the timing selection in the IDCSU. If the

IDCSU is set to recover network clock, it will be trying to

recover a clock it is trying to recover. The clock frequency

will drift. For this test, set the IDCSU clock source to Internal.

Remember to change it back after the test.
