ATMS Reports (List Testcall Command)
The list testcalls command produces detailed and summary reports of
measurements made by the ATMS. Measurement reports contain data on trunk
signal loss, noise, singing return loss, and echo return loss, and are used to
determine the quality of trunk lines. The system maintains a database with the
results of the last test for each trunk. System resets clear all transmission test
data, and ATMS measurements are not backed up by the MSS.
ATMS parameters are administered on the Trunk Group form. These include
thresholds for marginal and unacceptable performance. On the screen display,
measurements that exceed the marginal threshold are highlighted.
Measurements that are exceed the unacceptable level appear flashing, indicating
unusable trunks. Trunk groups can be administered to log errors and alarms, and
to busy out the failed trunk in response to such results.
555-233-143
The physical location of the port supporting the trunk being
tested. The format is UUCSSpp where UU is the cabinet
number, C is the carrier letter, SS is the circuit pack slot, and
pp is the port circuit number.
The name of the maintenance object tested, TIE-TRK or
CO-TRK.
The trunk-group number and member number of the trunk
being tested.
ATMS tests are numbered 844 through 848.
If the test call successfully completes, and if every trunk
tests within administered thresholds for marginal and
unacceptable performance, then a PASS result is returned.
If measurements fall outside the thresholds, the test fails.
The trunks group can be administered to log errors and
alarms, and to busy out the failed trunk.
If the test call cannot be completed, an ABORT is returned.
This numerical code indicates the reason for a failure or abort.
The codes are explained in the CO-TRK and TIE-TRK sections
of ''ABRI-PORT (ASAI ISDN-BRI Port)'' on page 8-3.
