BRTS-100 ISDN TEST SET To connect the Test Set in a point-to-point configuration, simply connect the 8-pin plug to either the A or B port located on top of the unit. To connect the Test Set in a passive bus configuration, connect the line from the NT1 to either the A or B port, and connect the termi-nal to the other port. The ports are parallel, so they can be used interchangeably (see Figure 3-2). 3.3 Powering Up the Unit Power up the Test Set up by depressing the POWER feature button (Figure
