Understanding test results
MAX 6000 and MAX 3000 units that support T1 (or E1) use the first available T1 (or E1) line
unless you enable the Use Trunk Grps parameter in the Sys Config menu.
If you enable the Use Trunk Grps parameter in the Sys Config menu, specify the outgoing lines
to be used in the test. The Use Trunk Grps parameter specifies the use of trunk groups for all
network lines. When trunk groups are in use, channels must be assigned trunk group numbers
to be available for outbound calls. In turn, when this parameter is set to
Yes
, channel
configurations must specify trunk-group assignments. For more information about each of
these parameters, see the MAX Reference.
The unit generates an error message for any condition that causes the test to terminate before
sending the full number of packets. The following error messages can appear:
[primary-number-type=
AT&T-switch
]
Any value available to the PRI # Type parameter. The PRI # Type
parameter specifies a switch type.
PRI # Type is used for outbound calls made by the MAX on PRI
lines so that the switch can properly interpret the phone number
dialed. Ask your PRI provider for details on when to use each of
the following settings. This parameter specifies the
TypeOfNumber field in the called party’s information element.
Note:
The value you specify for PRI # Type in the Dial Plan
profile overrides the value of PRI # Type in the Call profile and
Connection profile if you have enabled the unit’s Dial Plan
profiles.
[transit-number=
ECI
]
Any value available to the Transit # parameter.
Specifies a string for use in the transit network IE for PRI calling
when going through an Interexchange Carrier (IEC). The default
(null) causes the MAX to use any available IEC for long-distance
calls.
Note:
The Transit # value in the Dial Plan profile overrides the
Transit # value in the Call profile or the Connection profile. This
parameter does not apply to nailed connections.
