Channel Testing
This section explains how to test the availability and
configuration of the B channels for ISDN calls.
Although you can check that a channel is available for calls
against a single ISDN bearer service by connecting a call using
the appropriate service, the simplest way to perform a
complete channel check is to use aurora
Sonata
’s ISDN Test Suite.
Tip
For an introduction to the ISDN Test Suite and its
applications, see
Introducing the ISDN Test Suite in section 1.
The Test Suite allows you to test channel availability and/or
configuration against a range of ISDN bearer services. You
might perform these checks as part of a series of tests—for
example, during line provisioning.
Checking channels from the Test Suite
When CorNet-T is selected the Test Suite is not available.
There are two available components for the
Channel
test:
• Outgoing Channel test—establishes and clears
an outgoing call on each B channel in turn. This
tests channel availability.
• Full Channel test—establishes a call on each B
channel until all channels have an active call,
then clears the calls in the order in which they
were established. This tests the configuration
of the B channels.
