Ports shall connect to the monitoring equipment, such as billing
servers etc.
The Groomer (T1 Monitoring DACS) is
capable of monitoring a -20dBdsx (0.3Volt Pulse) T1 signal through a
Hi-Z path, without in any way disturbing the live T1 traffic that is
required to be monitored. The T1 connector(s) shall be RJ45 (100 Ohms)
and a "Y" cable is provided (included) to connect T1 Groomer equipment
to the T1 Ports that are required to be monitored.
