Setting up a test profile

Last Updated : Apr 10, 2018 |

About this task

A test profile is a set of definitions for running a particular test. In essence, it specifies what measurements to run on which port. Once you set up a test profile, you can run it whenever necessary using the single launch command. You can define up to 30 profiles.

Procedure

  1. Enter analog-test to enter the analog-test context.
  2. Use the profile command to enter the analog-test-profile context, for configuring a specific test profile.
  3. In the analog-test-profile context, setup the test profile:
    • Use the set type command to specify what type of test to run, that is, what type of measurements to run.

    • Use the set port command to specify which port to test. Note that only analog trunk ports are accepted.

    • Use the set destination command to set the Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) number destination of the measurement call. This number is called by the port being tested.

    Note:

    If you enter set destination none, the port does not attempt to make a call toward any destination but makes the measurement on the current call. The test is performed while the port is in use. Remember to start the call before launching the test.

  4. Use the set responder command to specify a responder port.

    A responder is an analog trunk port that answers an incoming call and then plays a sequence of tones. The analog media module or the LEC collect the measurements while the responder plays its specific sequence. The responder can be a port in the media module, or the Local Exchange Carrier (LEC).

  5. Use the set responder-type command to specify the responder type.

    The different types send different sequences of tones, as explained in Types of test lines.

  6. If the type of the current profile is crosstalk, use the following commands:
    • Use the set crosstalk-port command to specify the crosstalk port. The port must be on the same board as the port being tested, but it must be a different port from the port being tested.

    • Use the set crosstalk-destination command to set the Local Exchange Carrier number destination of the call from the crosstalk port.

      Note:

      If you enter set crosstalk-destination none, this indicates that the crosstalk port does not attempt to make a call toward any destination but expects an incoming call. Remember to start the call before launching the test.

    • Use the set crosstalk-responder command to specify the responder port for the crosstalk port.
