4 Operation on a PRI Access
Press the
softkey to have the ARGUS begin to test the availability of all 30 B-
<Start>
channels one after the other by occupie the B-channels.. If the ARGUS can place a call on
a B-channel, it will be assumed that the B-channel is available in both directions; the B-
channel test cannot distinguish between alternating and exclusively "outgoing" B-channels.
If the connection is rejected, the B-channel will be identified as unavailable. In the case of a
cause, which indicates that the B-channel is occupied, the connection will be tried up to two
times and, if a connection can still not be setup, it will then be marked as unavailable.

The ARGUS is in TE-Simulation Slave

B-channel 2 and 23 are not available or
are busy. This state is indicated in the
display by the red circles. Green circles are
used to indicate the available B-channels.
If the ARGUS is not properly connected
(e.g. incorrect cabling) or the network is
not in order, the ARGUS will display "No
Net".
