Self-tests of the NTAK93 daughterboard are invoked manually by commands
in LD 96.
DTI/PRI local self-test
The local self-test, also called a local loopback test, checks speech path
continuity, zero code suppression, remote alarm detection, and A and B bit
signalling. This test is performed manually on a per-loop (or link- 24
channels) or per-channel basis. The local loopback test performs a local
logical loopback and does not require any external loopback of the T-1 signal.
Restrictions and limitations
The DCHI and DTI/PRI must be disabled before performing the self-test on
the entire DTI/PRI card. Individual channels must be disabled before
performing a self test on a particular channel.
Self testing the DTI/PRI card
To perform a self test on the entire DTI/PRI card, do the following:
1
Disable the DCHI using LD 96:
LD 96
DIS DCH N
2
Disable the DTI/PRI card and run the self-test using LD 60:
LD 60
DISL C
SLFT C (entire card)
Self testing individual channels
Follow the same procedure as above, but use the following commands:
DSCH C CH
SLFT C CH (specific channel)
DTI/PRI automatic local loopback test
There are two types of automatic local loopback tests:
•
ATLP 0 (disable auto loop test in daily routine — LD 60)
•
ATLP 1 (enable auto loop test in daily routine — LD 60)
