Step 1B: Testing Remote Switched RS-232 Connections

This test involves a path similar to Figure 14-8,Remote Connection Test (RS-232 to Tip/Ring), or Figure 14-9,Remote Connection Test (RS-232 Colocated AUDIX system).

NOTE

Connection and modem loop-around tests are not supported on RS-232 ports that are converted to DCP mode 1 or DCP mode 3 using MPDM/M1* data modules. This is because the MPDM/M1* data modules do not support outdialing for these configurations. Use the DCP ports to test the connection to the remote system for these configurations.

1.Go to the system : translation : machine : audix/amis/call delivery form. Set machine name to the name of the AUDIX system to be called using the RS-232 channels. Press ENTER . The other AUDIX system’s machine profile should be displayed. If it is not displayed, it

has not been assigned. Go to Chapter 13, AUDIX System Administration, and create the remote system profile.

2.The network data phone number (or dial string) must contain ATDT (the modem attention code), the central office (CO) access code, a comma as a pause, and the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number associated with that AUDIX system’s network hunt group.

3.Go to the system : translation : network port form. Make sure a valid modem initialization string is assigned for the channel you want to test. See Chapter 13 if you are unsure as to what should be assigned.

4.Go to the maintenance : network form. Make sure the channel you want to test is idle. In most cases either RS-232 channel can be used for this test. If a particular channel must be used and it is not idle, wait a few minutes until it is idle.

5.Go to select test and enter 1.

6. Go to machine name and enter the name of the other AUDIX system. Press CHANGE or RUN . Wait for the result. If the test is not successful, check the system : log and/or go to Flowcharts For Troubleshooting the Network.
