Troubleshooting ISDN-PRI Test Call Problems
An ISDN-PRI test call is a call of a diagnostic nature that is placed across an
ISDN-PRI user-network interface to a previously designated number. An
ISDN-PRI test call is also a maintenance procedure concerned with the
identification and verification ISDN-PRI user-network interface problems. The
ISDN-PRI test call can access ISDN-PRI trunks only.
Placing an Outgoing ISDN-PRI Test Call
NOTE:
An ISDN-PRI test call can be placed only if the circuit translates to an
ISDN-PRI trunk.
