This switch is used to insert an “all ones” pattern into the data stream being transmitted out of the fiber port on the FlexPoint T1/E1 converter. Data being received on the coax or twisted pair will be disabled and data being received on the fiber is passed through to the coax or twisted pair side. By returning the switch to the normal position the unit will resume to normal operation.

Data being received on the fiber will be disabled and data being received on the coax or twisted pair is passed through to the fiber side. By returning the switch to the normal position the unit will resume to normal operation.
Alarm Relay Contacts
The FlexPoint T1/E1 features dry relay contacts for optionally connecting the it into a separate T1/E1 alarm circuit. The relay closes when a loss of power or when signal detect is lost to the copper or fiber connection.
