Chapter 5 Verification procedures Verification test routines This chapter describes M5208 maintenance and the following acceptance tests: • Loop check • Polarity check • Station Ringer test If the criteria outlined in the Line Engineering Rules, 297–2011–180, are observed, impulse or background noise and crosstalk compatibility problems are unlikely to occur.
Verification procedures Polarity check The M5208 is polarity sensitive. If problems arise when the set is to be put into service, follow Procedure 5-1. Procedure 5-1 How to verify the polarity Step Action If the set does not respond (no dial tone) after 20 seconds, check polarity of the tip and ring leads (tip +, ring –).
Verification procedures 5-3 Station Ringer test The Station Ringer test (SRT) tests the hardware of the M5208 Business Set and can be performed by the installer or repairman at the site with no involvement of Central Office personnel. No incoming calls can be received for the duration of a Station Ringer test.
