Testing Type 1 Compatible Tie Lines

To test tie lines configured for Type 1 Compatible, follow these steps:

1Connect an attendant console to station port 10.

2Connect a printer to the SMDR port on the Processor Module. Set the printer port to 1200 baud.

3Set the Tie Line Module switches to E&M signaling/protected mode. Refer to “Administering Tie Lines” on page 3-50 for instructions.

4Administer tie line port 1 to Type 1 Standard. Administer the port(s) being tested (ports 2, 3, or 4) to Type 1 Compatible. Refer to “Selecting the Signal Type” on page 3-55 for instructions. Administer all signaling parameters as specified by Form lb, System Form-Tie Lines.

5Assign the tie lines to two stations, called station A and station B in this procedure, in order to conduct the tests. Assign the tie lines to a line pool (890 through 899).

6Print out the tie line translation and make sure that the ports are configured as described in step 4.

>If the tie lines are translated correctly, go on to step 7.

>If the tie lines are not translated correctly according to Form 1b, repeat steps 4 through 6. If the tie lines still aren’t translated correctly, call the National Service Assistance Center (NSAC) at 1-800-628-2888 for help.

7Remove the bridging clips and connect the tie line ports to the network interface (a 66-type connecting block).
