Command
Basic Definition
TE INT x y
TEST INTEGRATION
Tells the integration card to run a link self-test, where
x
is the slot number, and
y
is the unit number. Used only for message servers with integration cards.
.
This command is not used for DPNSS integration.
T DNET
TEST DNET
Use this command for Digital Networking, to get a quick indication of the
general “health” of the configuration and hardware at the local and remote
cabinets.
TE X x y z
TEST FAX
Perform a loopback test on the specified fax channels to verify that the fax
modems can send and receive fax data and to test the TDM bus connection.
Fax-modem data is sent across the Octel Overture 200/300’s TDM bus, using
one of the fax channels as a sender and the other as a receiver. When this
transaction is completed, the fax application processor reverses the direction of
the data flow and repeats the transaction. In this command,
x
is the slot number,
y
is the fax channel, and
z
is the fax channel. Refer to the Feature Description
volume, Fax Mail Plus chapter.
T SNMP
TEST SNMP
An Octel Overture 200/300 can inform an SNMP manager system when a
qualified hardware error is logged. This command tests the mechanism for an
Octel Overture 200/300 to communicate to an SNMP manager system.
DEX x y
Disk EXerciser
Tests all hard disk sectors for read errors, where
x
is the disk number, and
y
is
the region number.
System Service Mode Commands
Use the Courtesy Down command,
CD
, to remove from service ports, fax cards, LAN cards, or
integration units or to disable the functionality of the Gateway Link feature. Use the Courtesy Up
command,
CU
, to return them to service.
Use the Shutdown command before LAN Backup and Restore procedures to put the message server in an
off–line mode without physically restarting or reloading the server. Like Courtesy Down, Shutdown
removes ports, fax cards, and integration units from service, and disables digital and analog networking.
However, unlike Courtesy Down, Shutdown does not disable the LAN card.
Use the Startup command after a LAN Backup or Restore to bring the message server back online,
removing port forwarding, enabling fax cards, integration units, and analog and digital network
messaging activity.
.
Shutdown is required before restoring prompts and system configuration files. It is recommended
that Shutdown be used before all LAN Restore procedures to prevent callers and mailbox holders
from accessing the server during restore sessions. Such server activity could disrupt the restore
procedure. For LAN Backup, if there is any possibility that voice messages being backed up could
change during the procedure, the server should be in Shutdown mode.
