Use status isdnpri-testcall to display the progress of an outgoing ISDN-PRI test call on the specified trunk. The tested ISDN-PRI B-channel’s port number, bit error rate, number of bits transmitted, block error rate, number of blocks transmitted, start time, duration specified, duration of test call, and reason of termination are displayed on the status screen.
Syntax
clear isdnpri-testcall [ group number / member number ]
group number
Administered trunk group number.
group member number
Administered group member within the trunk group.
status isdnpri-testcall feature interactions
If the bit error rate or block error rate is greater than zero, the ISDN-PRI trunk may be in a troubled state. Based on the statistical information displayed on the terminal, it can be decided to take the ISDN trunk out of service. This is subjective data because the ISDN trunk may be used for data or voice. If the trunk is used for data and the rates are high, the trunk should be taken out of service. If the trunk is used for voice, the trunk may not have to be taken out of service. High rates may also be due to some type of power hit on the line.
status isdnpri-testcall field descriptions
Field
Description
Port
This field specifies the physical address of the ISDN-PRI B-channel.
Bit Error Rate
The measured bit error count according to the comparison of the sent and received bit pattern. The number appears in scientific notation.
Number of Bits Generated
The number of bits generated. The number appears in scientific notation.
Block Error Rate
The measured block error count according to the comparison of the sent and received bit pattern. The number appears in scientific notation.
Number of Blocks
The number of blocks generated. The number appears in scientific notation.
Start Time
The time the test call started (dd/hh:mm).
Duration Specified
The duration specified in minutes for how long the test call should run. Valid durations are 1-120 (minutes) or blank (to indicate the default amount of minutes was used to run the test).
Duration of Test
The duration specified in minutes for how long the test call has been running. A blank indicates that the default amount of time was used to run the test.
Reason of Termination
The reason of termination indicates why the test call has terminated.
Valid reasons of termination are:
finished — the test finished in the specified time.
canceled — the test call has been canceled with clear isdnpri-testcall.
overflow — the bits transmitted have overflowed buffer allocation.
no bits — no bits have been received because the ISDN-PRI test call circuit connection is bad.
transmission — there has been a data transmission interruption, probably caused from a power hit.
internal fail — there is an internal error on the Maintenance/Test media module.
in progress — the test is still running.
data corrupt — used for any other error condition.
