Test Jack Name

Function

 

 

NET In

All models: A break-in test jack that allows a signal to be

(Network In)

inserted toward the network by external test equipment.

 

 

NET Out

All models: A break-in test jack that interrupts the signal

(Network Out)

coming from the network and allows it to be terminated by the

 

external test equipment.

 

 

EQPT In

Model 3161: A non-interruptive test jack that monitors the

(Equipment In)

signal toward the terminal equipment (DTE).

 

Models 3160, 3164: A break-in test jack that allows a signal to

 

be inserted toward the terminal equipment (DTE) by external

 

test equipment.

 

 

EQPT Out

Model 3161: A non-interruptive test jack that monitors the

(Equipment Out)

signal coming from the terminal equipment (DTE).

 

Models 3160, 3164: A break-in test jack that interrupts the

 

signal coming from the terminal equipment (DTE) and allows it

 

to be terminated by the external test equipment.

 

 

MON In

Model 3161: A non-interruptive test jack that monitors the

(Monitor In)

signal going into the network.

 

Models 3160 and 3164: A monitor jack that is controlled by the
