Facility Test Calls

The facility test calls feature allows you to use a voice terminal to make test calls
to specific trunks, time slots, tones, and tone receivers within the system. The test
call verifies that the accessed component is functioning properly. To use this
feature, it must be enabled on the Class of Restriction form, and you must know
the facility test call access code. The code can be retrieved by entering display
feature-access-codes. It appears on page one of the screen output.
NOTE:
For the ISDN-PRI test call feature see
Calls'' on page
The following test call descriptions are for voice terminal users.
Trunk Test Call
The trunk test call accesses specific tie or CO trunks, including DS1 trunks. If the
trunk is busied out by maintenance, it will be temporarily released for the test call
and returned to busyout afterwards. Before making the test call, use list
configuration to determine the location of the trunk ports that you want to test.
DID trunks cannot be accessed.
NOTE:
Do not use this trunk test call procedure to test ISDN-PRI trunks.
