Maintenance applications

CS 1000 systems have over 600 overlay-based maintenance commands.
To maintain a CS 1000 system using system terminals, you must
remember, or look up, which overlay has the appropriate commands and
the syntax of each command.
Element Manager (EM) eliminates the need to remember many of these
commands by providing a subset of overlay functions for maintenance of
the Call Server, MG 1000Es, Signaling Servers, and Voice Gateway Media
Cards.

Diagnostic programs

Diagnostic software programs monitor system operations, detect faults,
and clear faults. Some programs run continuously, while some are
scheduled.
Diagnostic programs are resident or nonresident software programs.
Resident programs, such as the Error Monitor and Resident Trunk
Diagnostic, are always present in system memory. Nonresident programs,
such as the Input/Output Diagnostic and Core Equipment Diagnostic, are
used as Midnight and Background Routines or for interactive diagnostics.
Nonresident programs are loaded from the system disk and are run as
scheduled or upon request.
See Software Input/Output Reference – Maintenance NN43001-711 and
Software Input/Output Reference – System Messages NN43001-712 for
detailed information about all diagnostic programs.
Overlays
Nonresident programs are also called overlays or loads. They are
identified by a title and a number preceded by the mnemonic for load (for
example, Trunk Diagnostic — LD 36).
CS 1000E
The CS 1000E Core Call Server and MG 1000Es support the overlay
commands and TN format (l s c u).
However, a number of maintenance commands are either not supported
or not applicable to the MG 1000E.
