The following table lists the common command input parameters and their description:

Parameter

Meaning

schedule

Use schedule to specify a start time to run the command. When the command is executed, the output is sent to the system printer. schedule is available for the display, list, and test commands.

  • Enter list common-queue to display the commands that are queued for execution.

  • Enter remove common-queue job# to cancel a queued command. This command requires that the system printer is administered.

group#

The 1–3 digit trunk-group number.

group#/member#

The group number followed by a slash and a 1–3 digit member number of an individual trunk.

extension

The extension number assigned to the port or other maintenance object. The number of digits in an extension is determined by the system dial plan.

next

The next available number in the sequence.

repeat #

The number of times a test sequence is to be repeated.

short

long

The type of test sequence to run for the maintenance object. The test sequence varies for each maintenance object. The short test sequence is always non-destructive and is the default.

Caution:

For maintenance objects, long is destructive to call service.

clear

Used with test commands. clear repeats the test sequence until any active alarms against the maintenance object are cleared by the passing of tests or until any test in the test sequence fails. If no alarms are active, the test sequence is run once.

  • long clear clears every alarm against the maintenance object if no errors are encountered.

  • short clear clears only alarms that are pertinent to the tests in the short test sequence.

Caution:

If every test passes, long clear clears every error counter. If firmware counters are cleared while an actual problem exists, customer service can degrade due to calls being routed over faulty components.
