Hi,
I used the patgen and pattest some months ago to test two PRI cards in
two different servers connected together. I don't remember now the
details, but for sure I was using a PRI cross cable between the two
cards and a loopback connector when testing the single board.

I remember I had a lot of troubles and not so good results, even if the
two cards are still working perfectly under the normal condition (they
are in production since the end of march handling several 10 thousands
minutes a month).

Please, refer to

and to

the pat* and hdlc* test tools open dahdi channels on their own. Thus the
dahdi channels that they use must not be used by Asterisk at the time.
The spans need to be created (drivers loaded) and configured (ztcfg /
dahdi_cfg run).

Run patgen on one side with one specific b-channel and pattest on the
corresponding b-channe on the other side.

Nothing special. E.g. you should be able to call with Asterisk from one
to the other.
