Transmission Test (#844-848)
This test is nondestructive.
NOTE:
Tests #844 – 848 are not supported on an International switch.
These tests are run by the ATMS (Automatic Transmission Measurement
System). They are not part of the long or short trunk test sequences. Instead,
they are run on demand with the test analog-testcall command or as part of
ATMS scheduled testing. For more information, see
‘‘Automatic Transmission
Measurement System’’ in Chapter 5, ‘‘Additional Maintenance Procedures’’ .
The test call is run from an analog port on a TN771 Maintenance/Test circuit pack.
It attempts to seize a port and make a call to a TTL (terminating test line) on the
trunk’s far end. Transmission performance measurements are made and
compared to administered thresholds. Errors are generated when results fall
outside of “marginal” or “unacceptable” thresholds. Detail and summary
measurement reports are obtainable via the list testcalls command.

Result
Description / Recommendation
1000 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not available. The port may be
busy with a valid call.
1. Use display port UUCSSpp to determine the trunk group/member number
of the port. Use the status trunk command to determine the service state
of the port. If the port is active, wait until it is idle before testing.
2. If the port status is idle, then retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to
5 times.
1001 ABORT Could not allocate the necessary system resources to run this test.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 5 times.
1002 ABORT The system could not allocate timeslots for the test. The system may be under
heavy traffic conditions or it may have timeslots out of service due to TDM bus
errors.
1. If the system has no TDM bus errors and is not handling heavy traffic, retry
the command at 1-minute intervals up to 5 times.
1004 ABORT The port has been seized by a user for a valid call. Use status trunk to
determine when the port is available for testing.
2. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 5 times.
1005 ABORT Trunk has been administered as incoming-only; transmission tests can only be
run on outgoing trunks.
