Initializing and Testing the System
Testing the System
If any feature does not work properly, check system programming. You can run
these tests easily from an MLX telephone or an analog multiline telephone.
ARS and SMDR Tests
If ARS patterns have been programmed, you can test routing by placing toll
calls and checking the trunk indicated on the SMDR printout. Check the report
to see which line/trunk the system selected for an outgoing call.
The length of each toll call must be equal to or greater than the minimum SMDR
recording time. Otherwise, SMDR does not recognize the attempt as a call. To
determine the minimum SMDR recording time, check with the customer's
system manager (the factory setting is 40 seconds).
To verify ARS patterns, follow the steps below:
In Hybrid/PBX mode, determine which toll numbers to call by

examining the system manager's ARS patterns.
At any multiline telephone, pick up the handset and dial the ARS

access code and one of the toll numbers.
Make sure the call is completed before hanging up.
Repeat Step 2 for additional toll numbers.

At the SMDR printer, verify that the call was made on the correct

trunk group and check the number of seconds before the call is
reported on the SMDR printout.
If there are errors, check system programming.
