More information

The Packet Loss Threshold and Round Trip Delay Threshold fields work like this:

If the value in either High field is exceeded, access to the IP trunk group is blocked.

Access to the IP trunk group is only allowed again when the average for both measurements drops below the values in the Low field.

Placing a test telephone call

To place a test telephone call to the remote switch over IP trunk service:

1Contact the switch administrator at the remote site to verify that IP trunk service is set up on the remote switch:

~The connection between the MAPD circuit pack and the switch is configured

~Dial plan and routing is administered

~IP trunk service is started

2Dial the telephone number of the remote site.

For example, if prior to installing IP trunk you dialed 9, then 011 plus the country code followed by the telephone number, then dial the number the same way to test IP trunk service.

If your call does not go through, refer to Troubleshooting IP Trunk (page 448).

Setting up alerts on IP trunks

Whenever something happens on IP trunks that might affect service quality, Windows NT™ can display an alert in a popup window. You can select the IP address for the alert messages and notify a computer other than the IP trunk display screen. NT alerts allow you to monitor IP trunk service on one or more switches.

1Go to NT’s Control Panel.

2Double-click Services.

3Select Messenger and click Start. Started appears in the Status column.

4Select Alerter and click Start. Started appears in the Status column.

5Click Close.

To specify the computers on which alerts should be received:
