Setting the System into Service
Checking alarms and connections to Netspan
At the AC Test the RS232 disconnect alarm by disconnecting the adapter on Sitespan port I.
Pull card and check alarm is visible at NMC.
At the NMC set the free list entries. For details on setting free list entries see the Netspan
Help File
Note System Optimisations to the configuration that improve Net entry time

Ensure that the number of net-entry channels is set to around 6 for a shelf running
medium/ large deployments of voice service. The only constraint to be borne in mind is
that each channel used for net-entry is not available for traffic, so you need to be careful
about not over-provisioning the number of net entry channel if the shelf has a large
proportion of data / ISDN STs (which operate in a fixed-assigned mode).

Make certain that any STs that are created in the database before deployment are
marked 'out-of-service'. If they're not, on every cycle through the database, the system is
trying to net-enter STs that don't exist.
Test Call
1. Connect the AC port to Switch (ensure V5.1 link and cards configured).
2. Create a V5.1 DA Subscriber Terminal using Netspan and place the ST in service.
Check L3 address unblocked and define phone number.
3. Configure the test ST with the ST Id PN number RF channel and phone number (as
set at NMC).
4. Wait for ST to acquire a link (STMON can be used to monitor progress). Check for
dialtone.
5. Using a telephone make test call from the test ST over the system. Check for both
way transmission and absence of noise and interference.
6. Solicit an incoming call from the NMC or another phone and again check the quality
of the call
The tests should be completed for all other shelves commissioned on the same base
station.
At the completion of all tests remove all test cards from the shelf
BER Tests

Packet Testing
See Topic Packet System Testing
Site inspection and test card removal
When the BER and call tests are completed for all other CT shelves relating to an AC site
(may have 1 or more AC shelves) remove all test cards from the AC shelf and delete all test
STs from Netspan
At the AC and CT sites check all work areas are free of debris i.e. cable off-cuts, braid, dust
and packaging and that the site is as found.
This completes the system commissioning
