PB60019−01 Octel 200/300 S.4.1
Hunt Group Operation Test
Verifythe hunting sequence, as follows:
.The terminal command PS displays the current status of each Octel 200/300 port. A
three-character abbreviation denotes the state of each port. Refer to the Maintenance Commands
chapter for more information about using the PS command and the meaning of the states.
1. From the system level @prompt, enter PS.
2. Does the port status show the IDL state for all positions? If not, determine the cause and correct the
problem before continuing.
a. Some ports may be in the TST (test) state momentarily, because of online diagnostics. If a port
is in the TST state, enter PS several times, before deciding whether the port is in trouble or
self-test is running. Self-test runs every 5 minutes; if a problem is encountered, it is entered in
the Hardware Error Table.
b. If other calls are being made into the Octel 200/300, all ports might not be idle. If they are not
all idle, check to see whether anyone else is calling.
If the terminal is connected remotely, one of the ports showsthe modem as MOD.
3. From telephone A, enter the extension number or access code associated with the Octel 200/300 hunt
group.
4. Does the Octel 200/300 answer correctly? If not, determine the cause and correct the problem before
continuing.
5. From the terminal, enter PS.
.The port status should show the port in WFD (wait for digits) state when an incoming call is
answered.
6. Did the correct port answer, based upon how the PBX is programmed for hunting groups?
YES 'Continue.
NO 'Determine the cause and correct the problem before continuing.
7. From telephone A, press 9 9 and hang up after the message server says “good-bye.”
8. Busy out the PBX extension identified in step 6 above.
.If System Parameter 45 is set to NONE, then you may use the TE C 1 x command to busy out
the port, substituting the port number for x.
9. Continue the process from step 3 until all ports have been busied out.
Testing Fail-Safe Operation
The fail-safe port operation test comprises the all-ports-busy condition and the ring-no-answer condition.
All Ports Busy
Perform the following steps for the all-ports-busy test:
1. While all ports are busied out, use telephone A to enter the extension number or access code of the
hunt group.
