This practice is an installation and maintenance guide for the
ADTRAN T400 Test Access Card (TAC). Figure 1 is an
illustration of the card.
Features
The ADTRAN T400 TAC is a test card for installing and
troubleshootingcircuitsthathaveT400mechanics.TheTAC
accesses the four pairs that connect of the card-edge socket
for metallic and functional testing of the pairs. T400 TAC
features include:
• Plugs into ADTRAN T400 housings 1150087L1 and
1150043L1 and L2
• Provides complete testing of wire pairs
• Easy-access of pairs
The four position switch on the card provide a means for the
following:
• Looping back the co-pairs and field pairs
• Bridging across pairs
• Shorting loop 1 and loop 2
• Opening loop 1 and loop 2

2. INSTALLATION
After unpacking the unit, immediately inspect it for possible
shipping damage. If damage is discovered, file a claim
immediatelywiththecarrier,thencontactADTRANCustomer
Service.
3. APPLICATIONS
The ADTRAN TAC enables the Telco craft personnel to test
thewirepairsfromtherepeaterlocation.Testingofthecircuit
isaccomplishedbyremovingtherepeater,insertingtheTAC,
and then selecting the appropriate switch setting; i.e.,
LOOPBACK, LOOPTHRU, SHORT, or OPEN.
4. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ADTRAN TAC may be used in the single T400 housing,
part number 1150087L1, or the four-slot T400 housing, part
number 1150043L1 or L2. The eight connectors, labelled
LOOP1,T,R(CO),T,R(FIELD),providedirectaccesstothe
wire pair.
LOOP1 and LOOP2 access points labelled T and R (CO)
connecttothe wire pairstowardthecentraloffice and access
points labelled T and R (FIELD) connect to the wire pairs
toward the customer (FIELD).

5. TEST SETUPS
WhenusingtheTACtotestpairs,considerationmustbegiven
totheconfigurationsetup for the type of test being performed
to ensure a valid test. Available access is detailed in Table A.
To loopthru the CO pairs to the field pairs, put SW1 in the
LOOPTHRUpositionasindicatedonthe card(seeFigure 3).
This bridges the circuit pairs.
FortestaccessusingtheTAC,inserttheTACintotherepeater
housing. For the single slot housing, the print on the TAC
should face away from the pole or wall. For the four-slot
housing, the print on the TAC should face the label of the
position you are testing.
Testing the CO Pairs
To loopback the circuit, put SW1 in the LOOPBACK position
as indicated on the card (see Figure 2). This loops the circuit
back to the CO and to the field.
