Making and

Receiving Calls

This section explains how to use aurora

Duet

to connect

outgoing and incoming calls, display call status and clear
calls.

2

Note

To set up calls, aurora

Duet

must be in Simulate mode - that

is, emulating an ISDN device or the network itself. For
details, see

Choosing the Operating Mode

in Chapter 3

Section 1.

The Purpose of Connecting Calls

Often, the first test you would perform on an ISDN link
you are provisioning or maintaining is to connect
aurora

Duet

to the line and check whether you can make a

call between it and one of the following:

another piece of ISDN equipment

a Terminal Adaptor (TA) connected to non-ISDN

equipment

another ISDN tester

another B channel on your own aurora

Duet

Once you have a connected call you can use it as the
basis for testing line quality. You will find full
instructions for these tests in later sections of this
chapter.

If the call fails, you can perform further tests to find out
more about the problem. For example, you might test the
physical link or try to make calls using other ISDN
services.
