USER’S GUIDE
510 CyberSWITCH
bearer
This field applies only to Digital Modem calls. The valid values are:
•
SPEECH
(the default if no bearer type is specified)
•
3.1KHZ
The
call peer
command allows you to make a connection with another device. For example,
to call a site with the configured phone number of 13135552222 and a data rate of 64Kbps, you
would enter
call peer 13135552222 64.
To use this command for troubleshooting, you must enable the Call Trace feature to capture
any connect and disconnect messages that are generated by issuing the
call peer
command.
To do this:
1.
Erase the current report log by entering
er
at the system prompt.
2.
Enable the Call Trace feature by entering
trace on
at the system prompt.
3.
Issue the
call peer <phone number> [data rate]
command.
4.
Display the system log messages by entering the
dr
command at the system prompt.
5.
Check the log report for connect messages relating to the remote device you are testing.
In response to the
call peer
command, you will see the following message echoed back for
informational purposes:
Calling <phone number> at <data rate>, device PPP
The phone number will show what is sent to the switch. Any imbedded dashes will have
been removed. The data rate that is used is displayed. If an invalid data rate is entered, the
default of 56 Kbps will use used. Because dial out is only provided for PPP devices, the
device type is always PPP.
One of the following messages will then be displayed:
Call initiated
This response indicates that a
call peer
request was performed. This does not always
imply that a request reached the telephone switch.
Call attempt failed
This response indicates that the request could not be executed.
Note:
The
call peer <phone number>
command will not work under the following
conditions:
If PAP or CHAP is enabled and Outbound Authentication is disable, or, if the only
security enabled is CLID. In either case, the CyberSWITCH will not be able to
authenticate the remote peer. A message will appear in the log to indicate this. Use the
call device <device name>
command instead.
