MAINTENANCE
CLEARING USER-DETECTED TROUBLES
User-reported troubles are usually associated with voice or data terminal
equipment or trunks.
They can result from system-detected errors and are
often solved by clearing system error conditions or alarms.
This section presents trouble-clearing techniques and procedures for user-
reported troubles.
Maintenance routines for data terminals and Asynchronous Data Units (ADUs)
are not contained in this section (although some basic routines for clearing
administration equipment troubles are included). Manuals covering data
terminals and data modules are listed in Section 5, “References.”
Maintenance for auxiliary devices that are customer provided is the
responsibility of the user.
