testing ds1 boards

btrain2871 · August 14th, 2007, 09:13 AM

I have a user that's complained about a few dropped calls... saying starting with static and then just dropped out. I seem to have some warning alarms on 1 of my PRI's. How do I tell if it's the board itself or a carrier hit?? if i do the test board long clear command will it take the board out of service??

A test board long is not service affecting. You can cancel the test after 146 completes because the rest of the tests are for the channels. If test 144 fails, test the board again and 144 should pass this time. That test is the number of times the board has had slip errors since the last time it was tested.

By the way, what are the warnings you have on the PRI?

btrain2871 · August 14th, 2007, 10:04 AM

i put it as a word attachment of the screen.

this is another screen shot of the list measurement ds1 log 1c12..

I can't open your document. Even when I remove the ~$ from the front. It opens as gibberish.

btrain2871 · August 14th, 2007, 10:26 AM

even the 2nd attachment? that's probably the one you'd be more interested in seeing.

The second one did open. You are getting a large number of errored second flags, so that T1 does have issues. Test the board, what are the results?

this will not be service affecting right?? what happens to callers on the phone?

btrain2871 · August 14th, 2007, 10:46 AM

i did just a 'test board 1c12 and everything passed except test No. 256 which aborted with error code 1116 on every channel.

It is not service affecting, no one on a call will know you are doing this. The first tests (50-146 if you do a long test) test the board and the span. Cancel the test after 146 because you are not interested in the channels.

martinyoung · August 14th, 2007, 10:54 AM

What do you have in the error log?

btrain2871 · August 14th, 2007, 10:59 AM

if I do a disp errors on today's date i have a few errors which look like unconnected stations. Should I just have the carrier test this circuit overnight due to the ES?? I'm assuming the passes on the test board command indicates the hardware board is ok on the switch.

Your test 256/1116 error is telling you that the channel needs to be out-of-service in the CO to run this test. Ignore it.

martinyoung · August 14th, 2007, 11:05 AM

Did you disp errors or just the default active alarms? Just to make sure type "display error", then change the "Error List" field to errors then go down to board number and enter the board number. Any results?
