150 Carrier Remote IPE maintenance
Access interactive programs through a maintenance terminal or a
maintenance telephone, as described in this chapter. These programs are
used to:
•
test the equipment and place lines and trunks out of service when
testing or faulty, and back in service when testing is completed or the
line or trunk has been repaired or replaced
•
verify the status of a fault
•
verify that a fault has been corrected and the equipment is operating
correctly
A number of non-resident diagnostic programs can be selected by using
Configuration Record Program LD 17. This is a program that selects other
diagnostic programs and executes them automatically as midnight and
background routines. These programs test the entire system and print a
report that lists all the test results.
Continuity tests can be selected that check continuity between the Local
Carrier Interface card and the Remote Carrier Interface card, as well
as other network and peripheral controller cards. Specify these tests in
Background Signaling and Switching Diagnostics LD 45 and Network and
IPE Diagnostic Program LD 32.
History file
The system can be equipped with the history file feature, which allows the
system to store events such as:
•
service changes
•
maintenance messages
•
software errors
•
initialization and system download messages
•
traffic messages
These messages can be printed and analyzed to identify the events that
led to the present status. The type of messages to store can be selected.
For information on how to select messages to be logged into the history
file, refer to Features and Services Fundamentals (NN43001-106) ().
User reports
User-reported faults can provide an idea of what failed in the system.
These are:
•
major alarms reported by attendant
•
no ringing or no dial tone
•
trouble with calls in specific Carrier Remote IPE modules
