Call Test (Ct) - Paradyne COMSPHERE 6800 Series Command Reference Manual

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

Call Test (ct)

Use the ct command to cause a COMSPHERE 3400/4400 Series modem with a DBM to initiate a
call test using either the telephone number or directory entry specified. Once the proprietary tones
are validated at the remote end, the test completes by disconnecting the dial line. Leased-line
operation is not interrupted by this test.
For a 3900 Series modem, three different requests can be performed to initiate a call test. These
tests are invoked by using a new field which appears on the input form when 3900 Series device
addresses are specified in the device field.
For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and
schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for
results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description
of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.
