Administration Screen.
Port tests can be scheduled to run automatically up to twice daily, or they
can be started manually at any time. (Refer to section 19.2.4 for informa-
tion about manual tests.) Two types of port tests, dial-tone detect and
loop-back pass, can be run. Only one type of test can be run at a time.
Sections 19.2.1.1 and 19.2.1.2 describe how to configure the XC1000 for
the two types of tests.
19.2.1.1 Establishing Dial-Tone-Detect Port-Testing Parameters. Perform dial-
tone-detect tests to verify that specified ports can go off hook and obtain
dial tone from the PBX or Centrex. (If ports can successfully go off hook
for digital switches that do not provide dial tone, the dial-tone-detect test
passes.) Ports are tested randomly, one at a time, until all ports are tested.
To establish dial-tone-detect port-testing parameters, refer to Figure 19-4
and complete the following fields:
Port Testing Schedule 1 . Enter the time that the first scheduled test
should start. Use the format HH:MMA or HH:MMP. The default for this
field is a blank.
If a schedule is established in either
Port Testing Schedule X:
field,
the port test will run at the next scheduled start time. If no schedule
was established, tests will run only when manually started. Refer to
section 19.2.4 for details about performing manual tests.
When performing scheduled maintenance on the XC1000 and a line
card is out of service, it might be necessary to suspend scheduled
testing. To suspend scheduled tests, delete the entry in both of the
Port Testing Schedule X: fields. To resume scheduled tests, enter
a new time in either of the
Port Testing Schedule X:
fields.
If a manual test is running when a scheduled test is to start, the
scheduled test is skipped. The scheduled test runs the next time it is
due unless there is another conflict with a manual test.
