Hybrid Electronic Power Feed Test (#56)
In this test, the software requests that the EPF be turned on for a given p ort. An
attempt is made to turn on the p ower unit from the station. If no current is being
drawn, this probab ly indicates that the station is not c onnected. If an overcurrent
condition is sensed (tha t is, too much current is being drawn), this may indicate a
short in the loop or a defec tive voice terminal. Dependi ng on what condition is
sensed, a message is returned stating that either the EPF was turned on
successfully with no prob lems or that an overcurrent condition i s sensed. This
test is repeated once more five sec onds later. If either test is not succ essful, the
test aborts (see first ABORT entry in the table below).

Test
Result Description/ Recommendation
ABORT Internal system error
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5 times.
1000 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not available. The port may
be busy with a valid call. Use the display port PCSSpp command to
determine the station extensio n number of the port. Use the statu s station
command to determine the service state of the port. If the service state
indicates that the port is in use, then the port is unavailable for certain
tests. You must wait until the port is idle before retesting. Attendants are
always in use (off-hook) if the handset is plugged in and the port is not
busied out.
1. If the port status is idle, then retry the command at 1-minute intervals a
maximum of 5 times.
FAIL Internal system error
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5 times.
PASS EPF test passed. The message to turn on the power to the station was
successfully sent to the port.
1. Although this test never returns a FAIL result, after running this test, the
Error Log should be checked for any entries with Error Type 257 to
examine the real results of this test.
2. If Error Type 257 does not appear in the Error Log within 10 seconds
after completion of this test, it is safe to assume that the test sensed no
problems with the power to the station. To verify that the station is
powered up correctly, run a self-test on the station, if available, and
check that all the feature b uttons are operating.
3. If Error Type 257 appears in the Error Log, this indicates some problem
with the power to the station. The system technician should check for a
short in the wiring, a damaged jack, a defective voice terminal, or an
incorrect type of terminal.
