NOTE:
The following test call descriptions are for voice terminal users:
Trunk Test Call
The trunk test call accesses specific Tie or CO trunks. DID trunks cannot be
accessed.
To place a call:
1. Dial the Facility Test Call Feature Access Code (for example, 197, see
Note), and listen for dial tone.
NOTE:
The Facility Test Call Access Code (FAC) is administered on the
Feature Access Codes Form. The 197 FAC code used here is an
example. For more information on FAC, refer to

Communications System Generic 3 Implementation
, 555-230-653.
2. Dial the 6-digit port number "PCSSpp"
The channels on a DS1 trunk are addressed by using the channel number
for the port number.
3. Listen for one of the following tones:
■ Dial Tone or Silence—trunk is connected. Go to Step 4. If you hear
a dial tone, it is coming from the far end. If the far end has been
disabled, you do not hear dial tone. However, depending on
far-end administration, you may still be able to dial digits. All digits
dialed after the port number are transmitted using end-to-end
DTMF signaling; therefore, if the trunk being tested is a rotary trunk,
it is not possible to break dial tone.
■ Reorder Tone—trunk is busy or maintenance busy.
■ Intercept Tone— a trunk or touch-tone (DTMF) receiver has not
been accessed.
4. Place a call. Even if you do not hear a dial tone, you may still be able to
dial digits, depending on the administration of the far-end switch.
All digits dialed after the port number are transmitted using end-to-end
DTMF signaling; therefore, if the trunk being tested is a rotary trunk, it will
not be possible to break dial tone.
