Ring Detection/PBX Connection Test
Use
the
TEST LINE 4
command for this test. T
o run the test, turn on the terminal or teleprinter
. At the
@ prompt, type
TE L 4 x
Enter
For this command,
x
is the installed port number (in HEX) to be tested.
This test runs only on the port requested in the command, and the port must have the self-test parameter
in the SLOT T
able set to YES.
This port is rapidly seized and released repeatedly
. This action causes char
ging and dischar
ging of the
tip-and-ring circuitry on the LIC, if the port is correctly connected to the PBX. These pulses trigger the
ring-detection circuitry on the port.
The test is completed successfully when the LIC reports the detection of this “ringing” to the CPU. If
ringing is not detected, the test terminates unsuccessfully after 5 seconds and leaves the tested port in the
TST mode, removing the port from service. An error is also logged in the Hardware Error T
able.
.
Some PBXs are not capable of generating suf
ficient voltage or loop current quickly enough for the
test to succeed. One example is the Northern T
elecom SL1. Consult with T
echnical Support if you
are uncertain whether a particular PBX supports this test.
Ring-Through Test
The
ring-through test is run
only on demand
and should be used only when the Octel Overture 200/300
is initially installed or when it is known that no calls are being processed.
The ring-through test performs the following sequence:
1.
Seizes a port
2. W
aits for dial tone from the PBX
3.
Sends digits to a port using the extension number entered in the SLOTS T
able
4. W
aits for the port to answer
, and sends a test pattern
For example, a four
-port message server makes 12 test calls; each test call takes 20 to 30 seconds to
complete. If the port called is busy or does not answer
, an error is logged in the Hardware Error T
able.
The command for this test is
TEST LINE 2. T
o initiate the test, at the @ prompt, type
TE L 2
Enter
