3.15.3 Test Access Digroups (TADS)
The Test Access Digroups (TADS) is a remote test access for data cross connects that pass
through the system according to publication TR-TSY-00033, Issue #1, June 1986.
A test center can access the system and assign a non-intrusive testing circuit between the unit
and the test center via another WAN link. For the purpose of this discussion on Test Access
Digroups, the figures show a 64kbps data circuit between Fremont, CA. and Jacksonville, FL.
Figure 3-49 shows the cross-connect screen with the data circuits connected.
Action Function
Bcast Bcast allows users to program additional broadcast cross-connects in the
system. If mistakes are made during the add process, pressing the up
arrow or down arrow key will terminate this operation.
uPdate The uPdate action is initiated by pressing the "p" key. With this command,
users can change any of the parameters of a broadcast connection. Use the
arrow keys to highlight the area to be changed and close the transaction
using the "s" (Save) command.
dElete The dElete action is initiated by pressing the "e" key. Use this command to
delete existing broadcast connections. The system will prompt users to
delete the circuit, and the "y" key must be pressed to complete the
transaction.

system can handle many different circuits, users may fill the screen
allotment for data. New pages will be added automatically to
accommodate additional circuits. The page count feature at the top of the
screen shows users the current page and the total amount of pages of
information. Use this command to scroll up through the pages of
cross-connect information.

action is similar to the pgUp command. Use this command to scroll down
through the pages of cross-connect information.
