Call State Audit Test (#257)
If a call is active on the trunk, the switc hes on both sides of the connec tion should
agree on the ISDN state of the call, as defined in the ISDN Protocol Specific ation.
This test audits internal call state data b y querying the far-end switch as to the
ISDN state of the call. It can be help ful when trying to clear a hung call. If the
internal call state data on the near-en d switch is different than that of the far-end
switch, then the call will be torn down.
As with Test #256 (Service State Audit), a PASS simply means that an appropriate
message was composed and sent to the far-end switc h. The ISDN Specification
allows up to two minutes for a reply. If a reply is not received within the two minute
window, a protocol time-out violation will b e recorded in the error log against the
associated signaling channel (ISDN-PRI Signaling Link Port, which is listed in the
Error Log as ISDN-LNK/ISDN-PLK; the Error Type is 1).
PASS Wait 4 minutes and then check the Error Log for any new errors of type
3073. If there are none, then both sides of the ISDN connection agree on
the service state; the negotiation succeeded. If there is a new 3073 error,
then the negotiation failed (the far-end switch twice failed to respond within
2 minutes). The switch will automatically retry every 15 minutes. If the trunk
was initially in-service, it is now placed in the maintenance/far-end state.
Incoming calls will be accep ted, but no outgoing calls can be orig inated. If
an incoming call is presented, another Service State Audit will be
immediately performed in an attempt to put the DS1 ISDN Trunk in the
proper state.
