AT&T 585-300-903 manual Performing Loop-Around Tests, Testing the Near-End Connection

AUDIX Network Testing 14-15

Step 2: Performing Loop-Around Tests

If the appropriate test in Step 1 fails, perform the appropriate loop-around test:

∙Near-end connection test

∙Local connection test

∙Network loop-around 56 Kbps

∙Network loop-around 64 Kbps

Step 2A: Testing the Near-End Connection

This tests the loop shown in Figure 14-12,Near End Connection Test (CO DCP Digital Loop-Around), the loop shown in Figure 14-13,Near End Connection Test (CO DCP Analog Loop-Around), or the loop shown in Figure 14-14,Near End Connection Test (CO RS-232 Analog Loop-Around).

1.Go to the system : translation : machine : audix/amis/call delivery form

and press ENTER . The local machine profile should be displayed.

2.The network data phone number (or dial string) must be the CO or network access code, a pause, and the DID number associated with the local network hunt group.

a.Use a plus sign as a pause if testing DCP channels.

b.Use a comma as a pause if testing RS-232 channels. And make sure the dial string starts with the attention code (ATDT).

3.If a change was required, press CHANGE or RUN , exit the form and go to the maintenance : audits : fp form. Run a network data audit. This is necessary for R1V3 and R1V4 systems only; it is not necessary for R1V5 and later systems.

4.Go to the maintenance : network form.

Set select test to 1. Set machine name to the name of the local 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.
