Diagnostic tests

Lines maintenance

Line circuits, subscriber loops, and stations are tested under the lines
maintenance (LNS) subsystem. Line circuits and subscriber loops are tested
manually and automatically in this subsystem.
Line testing determines if a line circuit, loop, or line circuit and loop group
functions correctly. If the line is defective, line tests also determine if the
fault lies in the line circuit or in the attached loop. Another department, like
plant maintenance, normally receives faults that occur in the loop. When the
fault is in the line circuit, the line card is replaced. The line is retested to
verify clearance of the fault.

Automatic line testing

The LNS subsystem performs automatic line tests (ALT) on line circuits and
loops. These tests are normally performed often. The subsystem performs
the initial scheduling with a switch operator. The subsystem performs the
tests that follow without an switch operator. The LNS subsystem also
performs automatic line tests when a line shows a fault.
