NPE Crosstalk Test (#9)
The NPE Crosstalk Test verifies that this port’s NPE channel talks on the selected
time slot and never crosses over to time slots reserved for other connections.
One or more Network Processing Elements (NPE) reside on each circuit pack
with a TDM Bus interface. The NPE controls port connectivity, gain, and provides
conferencing functions on a per port basis. If the NPE is not working correctly,
one way and/or noisy connections may be observed. This test is part of a port’s
long test sequence and takes approximately 10 to 20 seconds to complete

Result Description/ Recommendation
1000 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not
available. The port may be in use on a valid ATMS trunk
test call.
1. Retry the command at 1 minute intervals a maximum
of 3 times.
2. If the test continues to abort and the port is not in
use, escalate the problem.
1001 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not
available.
1. Retry the command at 1 minute intervals a maximum
of 3 times.
2. If the test continues to abort, escalate the problem.
1002 ABORT The system could not allocate time slots for the test. The
system may be under heavy traffic conditions or it may
have time slots out of service due to TDM-BUS errors.
Refer to TDM-BUS Maintenance documentation to
diagnose any active TDM-BUS errors. A system is
considered under heavy traffic when the Call Processing
Occupancy is greater than 50% or when the System
Management and the Call Processing Occupancies
together exceed 65%. To view the system occupancy
measurements enter the command status system
health on the system technician terminal.
1. If system has no TDM-BUS errors and is not
handling heavy traffic, repeat test at 1 minute
intervals a maximum of 3 times.
2. If the test continues to abort, escalate the problem.
