Step 2C: Testing the 56/64 Kbps Network Connection

This tests the connection between the local AUDIX system and a 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps serving office (SO), as shown in Figure 14-18,56/64 Kbps Network Loop-Around Test.

While a channel is in loopback mode, it will be unavailable to send information to remote systems or receive information from remote systems. Also, if you put a channel in loopback mode, any active calls will be dropped. It is therefore recommended that before you perform this test you check the status of the channel. It is also not a good idea to perform this test during peak traffic times.

1. Go to the maintenance : network form. Set select test to 7 for to test a 56 Kbps network

connection or to 8 to test a 64 Kbps network connection. Press		TAB	to get to the channel field and
the specify the channel (1-6) you want to test. Press	CHANGE or RUN		and wait for the result.

NOTE

To test channel 5 or 6 (RS-232 channels) you need an MPDM/M1* between the AUDIX system and the PBX.

2.Have the serving office place a call to the telephone number assigned to the channel you specified on the maintenance : network form. If the test is successful, any data the serving office sends over the AUDIX channel will be echoed back.

3.Go to the maintenance : network form. Set select test to 9 to take the channel out of

loopback mode. Press	TAB		to get to the channel field and the specify the channel (1-6) you want to
take out of loopback mode.		Press		CHANGE or RUN	and wait for the result.
