NPE Crosstalk Test (#6)
One or more NPEs reside on each circuit pac k with a TDM Bus interface. The NPE controls port connectivity and gain, and provid es conferencing func tions on a per port basis. The NPE Crosstalk Test verifies that this port’s NPE channel talks on the selected time slot and never crosses over to time slots reserved for other connections. If the NPE is not working correc tly, one-way and noisy connections may be observed. This test is p art of a port’s Long Test Sequence and takes about 20 to 30 seconds to c omplete.

Result Description/ Recommendation
ABORT Could not allocate the necessary system resources to run this test.
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 extension, attendant number, or trunk group/member
number of the port. Use the status station, status attendant, or status
trunk 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.
