Placing an Outgoing ISDN-PRI Test Call
NOTE:
An ISDN-PRI test call can be placed only if the circuit translates to an
ISDN-PRI trunk.
An ISDN-PRI test call can be originated via ei ther the

synchronous

or the

asynchronous

method. Each method is d escribed belo w.
Synchronous Method
One command is used in this method to start, stop and q uery an ISDN-PRI test
call. In the synchronous method, an outg oing ISDN-PRI test call may be part of a
system technician-demand ed long test sequenc e to test a circuit pac k, port, or
trunk. Therefore, the command line entry can b e any of the following:
test trunk <grp>/<mbr> long [repeat #]
test port PCSSpp long [repeat #]
test board PCSS long [repeat #]
The “long” qualifier must be entered in the above c ommands in order for the
ISDN test call to run. The repeat number (#) can b e any number from 1 through
99 (default = 1).
The following information is displ ayed in response to the above c ommands:
■Port: The port address (PCSSpp) of the maintenanc e object under test.
■Maintenance Name: The type of maintenance objec t tested.
■Test Number: The actual test that was run.
■Test Results: Indicates whether the test passes, fails, or aborts.
■Error Code: Additional information ab out the results of the test. (See the
ISDN Trunk Maintenance documentation for details.)
Asynchronous Method
NOTE:
The asynchronous method requires a Maintenanc e/Test circuit pack to be
physically present in the s ystem.
