Expansion Interface 2-Way Transmission Test
(#241)
This test is nondestructive and applies to every ATM-EI, both active and standby.
It is run as part of craft short and long testing, periodic, scheduled, initialization,
and error analysis testing. The test sets up a connection between a Tone-Clock in
one cabinet and a Tone Detector in a separate cabinet and transmits a digital test
count between the EPNs. The ATM-EIs used to set up this connection are chosen
by maintenance, not call processing. After the connection is checked for
dial-tone, the connection is torn down and re-established in the opposite direction.
For this test, the second ATM-EI can reside in any EPN outside the tested
ATM-EI’s EPN. Therefore, if the test should fail in either direction, the test is
repeated with a different EPN, if available. This aids the fault isolation procedure.
The test results indicate if the test failed in one or both directions. The test aborts
if the ATM-EIs do not exist on both ends (for example, the EIs are not
administered correctly). If the test passes, the TDM and ATM framer interfaces of
both ATM-EIs are functioning properly. If the test fails, a series of tests are run on
the board.
