Testing DID Trunks

To test DID trunks, follow the steps below:

! Have someone at the central office check all DID trunks, or have someone call from the outside to check each DID trunk.

! When the first trunk rings, answer it.

! Instruct the caller to put the call on hold or put down the handset while making the next call.

! When the next trunk rings, put the previous call on hold and repeat this procedure until all eight DID trunks have been connected successfully.

! When all trunks are connected with good communication, disconnect each call and have the caller do the same.
