Performing Acceptance Testing; Voice Calls - Nortel 1000 Manual

To conduct the acceptance testing, make sure that the Fiber Remote
IPE at the remote site contains at least one IPE (line) card with at least
two telephones connected to its subscriber loops. If possible, use some
analog (500/2500-type) telephones to check the ringing generator and
some digital telephones to check the Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF)
operation. Also, make sure that a terminal or a TTY is connected to
the MMI port through the Fiber Peripheral Controller card backplane
connector.
If using wall-mounted main and extension cabinets, install at least one line
card in each cabinet and connect at least one telephone to each line card
subscriber loop.

Performing acceptance testing

Since functions and features at the Fiber Remote IPE site are identical to
functions and features at the local site, the main purpose of acceptance
testing is to verify that fiber-optic equipment is functioning correctly. This
can be accomplished by:
•
performing basic voice calls
•
using the MMI terminal to configure and maintain Fiber Remote IPE
equipment
•
checking the protection switching of the fiber-optic link

Voice calls

A voice call can be established between two telephones across a network,
between two telephones on the same PBX, and even between two
telephones on the same line card.
Acceptance testing of Fiber Remote IPE voice calls is conducted when
testing the following basic system features supported by telephones
connected to subscriber loops at the remote site:
•
placing a call to the remote site
•
placing a call in call hold/call retrieve
Placing a call to the remote site
From the local site, place a call to a Fiber Remote IPE site by dialing a
remote station directory number (extension number).
Note:
local loops; therefore, dial only the extension number to access that
station.
The local system treats Fiber Remote IPE subscriber loops as
