CHAPTER 8. USING THE CONSOLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE SYSTEM

DCS Busy Verification of Terminals and Remote Trunks

This feature allows attendants to place test calls to trunks and voice terminals at a remote location within the same DCS network. Busy Verification provides an easy method of checking the condition of these facilities. When the feature is activated, you can distinguish between a voice terminal or trunk that is truly busy and one that only appears busy because of some trouble condition.

The result of a busy verification test may be an intercept tone, display, or conversation with the called facility. In the following procedures, a successful verification tells you that the facility is probably working properly; a failure tells you that the facility should be reported for maintenance.
