Simple System Tests

Whenever a system is reconfigured, components are added or replaced, or the system software is
upgraded, Avaya recommends you verify the operation of the new hardware, software, and
configuration. This section contains confidence tests that can be run off line to determine proper
end-to-end system operation.
First, install the new or additional hardware in accordance with procedures. If the software is to be
upgraded, refer to the MPS Upgrade/Installation Guide and Release Notes. Complete the
procedures and system configuration as directed in the upgrade manual. The tests can require
temporary changes to the TMS.cfg file and can help determine whether the file is configured
correctly.
Caution:
The following tests can involve allocating additional resources by temporarily modifying the
TMS.cfg file. Before you perform any of these tests, create a backup of the current TMS.cfg file
for restoration later.

Span Loop-Back Test

Background
The span loop-back test is used to verify the operation of any two spans (or up to four span pairs)
on the same DCC. The test also helps verify most of the system configuration parameters (other
than those that need to be modified for the test). For this test, any two spans on the DCC can be
paired, one inbound and one outbound. Generally, you want to use two spans that are already
configured as such; however, you can redirect a particular span if necessary (for example, for fault
isolation). All lines on both spans need to have DTMF receivers allocated. If the DTMF receiver
resource does not exist (or if there are not enough), they need to be created.
For this test, two MPS Developer test applications are provided in the /home/peri/testapps/ directory:
IntwTTSA.ppr and OutwTTSA.ppr. The corresponding executable files (IntwTTSA.vex and
OutwTTSA.vex) can exist in that directory. If the .vex files are not found, generate them from
the .ppr files using MPS Developer. IntwTTSA.vex and OutwTTSA.vex are assigned to and started
on lines of the inbound and outbound spans, respectively.
The spans are looped-back through the TCCP using a crossover cable. See
Panel on page 51 and
TCCP or a span breakout device, you need to devise some method of making the loop-back
connections in order to run this test.
