Verify Channel State

The procedure is used to verify that the state of the channel is in-service (Inserv) and that the channels are ready to be tested.

The INTUITY system has four possible port states:

■In-Service (Inserv)

Channel is ready to accept telephone calls. There may be active calls on this channel if the system is operational.

■Facility-out-of-service (Foos)

The channel is not inservice. The Foos state occurs when a channel has been released through the Voice Board Diagnostics screen to Inserv, and it does not detect loop current. A channel in the Foos state should automatically convert to the Inserv state when it detects loop current, but it may need to be reset.

■Manually-out-of-service (Manoos)

The channel has been busied-out under the Voice Board Diagnostics screen, or the channel is on a new IVC6 circuit card. A channel in the Manoos state will remain in the Manoos state until it is released under the Voice Board Diagnostics screen.

■Non-Existent (NONEX or no entry on any screen)

The system does not see the channel. The system will not see a channel that has not been properly activated even if the IVC6 is present. To change a channel from non-existent to recognized, the remote maintenance center must activate it.
