4.11 OCTEL OVERTURE 200/300 TESTING
The Octel Overture 200/300 should always be checked for proper operation after the configuration
database is installed or changes are made. In addition to the message-server test, other tests should be
made before the Octel Overture 200/300 is connected. These tests are described in this section. The tests
require the following equipment:
- Three touchtone telephones; label the telephones as telephone A, telephone B, and telephone C
- One terminal, directly connected to the Octel Overture 200/300, SP1 or J1, with an RS-232C cable
- One hard copy of the configuration database
- Two extensions for testing, connected to RJ11 jacks (in addition to the extension associated with the
Octel Overture 200/300
)
- One modular adapter, Arminger 8-position modular adapter, Part No. AA-2560A, or equivalent, is
recommended
.
These tests assume that no other calls are being made to the Octel Overture 200/300. If calls are
received, the port status could become confusing and might affect the test results.

2. Connect the telephone labeled B to the modular-adapter position associated with port 1.
