If the display and all indicator LEDs on Carrier Remote IPE equipment
indicate good operating condition, the equipment is functional and you can
proceed with setting up the necessary equipment for acceptance testing.
Setting up test conditions
To conduct acceptance testing, it is necessary to have a setup that can
verify basic system functions and features initiated and terminated at
the Carrier Remote IPE site. It may be possible to use the system as
configured at the site according to the customer requirements and not
have to modify the configuration to perform the acceptance testing.
Configure carrier links with a spare link so that the transfer of traffic from a
primary link to the spare link can be tested.
To conduct the acceptance testing, make sure that each Carrier Remote
IPE line card has at least one telephone connected to one of its subscriber
loops. If possible, use several analog (500/2500-type) telephones to check
the ringing generator and the DTMF operation. Also, make sure that a
terminal is connected to the MMI port.
If there are Carrier Remote IPE main and expansion cabinets, install at
least one line card in test card slots 0, 9, 10, and 15 of cabinets. Connect
at least one telephone to each line card subscriber loop.
Performing acceptance testing
Since functions and features at the Carrier Remote IPE site are identical
to functions and features at the local system site, the main purpose of
acceptance testing is to verify that the carrier equipment and the carrier
links are functioning correctly. This can be accomplished by:
•
performing basic voice calls
•
using the MMI terminal to configure and maintain Carrier Remote IPE
equipment
•
checking the protection switching of carrier links when configured with
one spare carrier link
Check the hexadecimal display on the Remote Carrier Interface
card.
Refer to "System messages" (page 187)
codes displayed by the Remote Carrier Interface card during
self-test.
