Figure 7-7. Test your voice channels by connecting standard telephones to your Voice/Fax cards.

7.7 Voice/Fax Channels

Voice/fax channels are by default strapped for KTS—the setting for standard telephones. Testing voice channels is a matter of force-connecting two channels and plugging in standard telephones.

FORCE-CONNECTED VOICE CHANNELS

After you have accessed the Command Facility (see Section 6.3, The Command Facility), you can force- connect two voice channels. The following procedures include the example configuration in Figure 7.6. Substitute the name of your node and the voice channel as appropriate:

COMMAND FACILITY MAIN MENU [local]

5 SWITCHING CONTROL

SWITCHING CONTROL [local]

3 FORCE CONNECT

ENTER FROM NODE/CHANNEL# (OR RANGE OF CHANNELS) (^X TO ABORT): local/B1

ENTER TO NODE/CHANNEL# (^X TO ABORT): remote/B1

After the “to” channel is entered, you will be returned to the Command Facility Main Menu.

CONNECT THE PHONE TO THE MULTISERVER

Plug one end of the supplied cable into the KTS jack on the Voice/Fax module. Plug the other end into a telephone. Do the same for the other voice channel.

THE TEST

Pick up one of the phone receivers. You will know if the test is successful—the other phone should ring.
