Line-Interface-Card Diagnostics

Three online diagnostic tests can be used to test the line interface cards (LIC). The first test is performed
periodically during normal message server operation. It is used to check the analog (voice) path of the
LIC. The second test is the ring detection/PBX connection test. The third test is the ring-through test.
These tests are described in the following sections.

Tone/DTMF/Beep Test

Use the

TEST LINE 1

command to test line 1. To run the test, turn the terminal or teleprinter ON. At

the @ prompt, type

TE L 1

Enter

This test runs in sequence on each of the installed ports.

Use the

TEST LINE 5

command to test line 5 for a specific port. At the @ prompt, type

TE L 5 x

Enter

For this command,

x

is the specific port number in HEX.

A hybrid transformer is used on the LIC to check tone generation and detection circuitry. A tone is applied
to the hybrid transformer and, as it is being reflected, the tone detector is turned ON. A comparison is made
to see whether the tones sent match the tones detected. The test sequence continues, through all assigned
ports. If a test tone sent is not received correctly, an error is entered in the Hardware Error Table.

Some PBXs have the capability of running diagnostics on their ports. The diagnostics can cause the Octel
Overture 200/300’s self-test to fail and place the Octel Overture 200/300 port in TST (test) mode, taking
the port out of service. The port remains in TST mode until the self-test runs again and can put the port in
service or until the message server is restarted. In cases of conflict with PBX diagnostics, the self-test can
be disabled in the SLOTS Table. Consult with Octel before you set the self-test to NO in the SLOTS Table.
