Note
To set up calls, aurora
Duet
must be in Simulate mode - that
is, emulating an ISDN device or the network itself. For
details, see
Choosing the Operating Mode in Chapter 3
Section 1.
The Purpose of Connecting Calls
Often, the first test you would perform on an ISDN link
you are provisioning or maintaining is to connect
aurora
Duet
to the line and check whether you can make a
call between it and one of the following:
• another piece of ISDN equipment
• a Terminal Adaptor (TA) connected to non-ISDN
equipment
• another ISDN tester
• another B channel on your own aurora
Duet
Once you have a connected call you can use it as the
basis for testing line quality. You will find full
instructions for these tests in later sections of this
chapter.
If the call fails, you can perform further tests to find out
more about the problem. For example, you might test the
physical link or try to make calls using other ISDN
services.
