COLB (a)
(a) Dual loopbacks are only initiated from the MODE and LBK pushbuttons.
DSX-1 signal is looped back to the network at the H2TU-C and signal from the
customer is looped back to the customer at the H2TU-C.
RULB (a) DSX-1 signal is looped back to the network at the H2TU-R and signal from the
customer is looped back to the customer at the H2TU-R.
CREM 1111110 DS1 signal from customer is looped back to the customer at the H2TU-C.
CLOC 1111100 DS1 signal from customer is looped back to the customer at the H2TU-R.

connect the line unit DSX-1 output ports to the cross-connect
panel must be grounded at both ends.
