turned OFF. This option does not have an effect on the operation of the manual
TST command at the STAR MAP display level.
SUPPRESS When an LCM is tested using a system-initiated BRT, each
drawer is busied, tested, and returned to service. When these state changes
occur, a PM181 log is output that indicates the change. This parameter allows
the user to suppress PM181 logs for any LCM being tested using a system
BRT. However, the PM181 logs for an LCM not now being tested by a system
BRT are not prevented. Also, SUPPRESS has no effect on a manual BRT run
on a single drawer. This parameter can be supplied at any time. A message
displays that indicates the logs are prevented.
ALLOW The ALLOW parameter allows the PM181 drawer to change logs
caused by the system BRT.
RESET The RESET parameter allows the user to restart an office-level test
like no LCMs have been tested. The user must turn the test OFF before using
this parameter. If the user tries to reset the BRT while it is ON, a message
displays that indicates the BRT must be turned OFF before RESET can be
performed. All tests that are running must be completed. This option can be
used at any time and does not have an effect on the operation of a manual TST
command at the LCM MAP display level.
QUERY The QUERY parameter displays the following:
• current ON/OFF status of the office-level test
• number of LCM-level tests now in progress
• next LCM to be tested in the planned BRT in the format of HOST 00 0 0
• status of the SUPPRESS/ALLOW commands
Test operation
The system performs the BRT test on each LCM. If done manually, the BRT
is performed on an each drawer. If the BRT test is performed on each LCM,
all drawers of the LCM are automatically tested. The single drawer test is
activated manually using the TST DRWR drwr_no RELAY command at the
LCM MAP display level.
Office-level test The system test performs the following actions:
• loops over each LCM included in the test schedule
• loops over each drawer for each LCM or Star Hub
• runs one tip-and-ring reversal relay test for each drawer
• generates one logutil report with the results of all 18 drawers
• sets the drawer and node ISTb status
