NPE Crosstalk Test (#9)
One or more NPEs reside on each circuit pack with a TDM Bus interface. The
NPE controls port connectivity and gain, and provides conferencing functions on
a per-port basis. 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. If the NPE is not working correctly, one-way and noisy
connections may be observed. If a secondary data module is assigned, it is
tested after the primary data module. If either test fails, both data modules are
taken out of service This test usually runs only during the Long Test Sequence
and takes about 20 to 30 seconds to complete.

Result Description/ Recommendation
1 ABORT During testing of the primary information channel,
system resources may not have been available.
1. Check the port status. Use the display port
PCSSpp command to determine the station
extension of the port. Use the station status
command to determine the service state of the port.
If the service state indicates that the port is in use,
then the port is unavailable for this test. You must
wait until the port is idle.
2. If the port status is idle, then retry the command at
one-minute intervals a maximum of five times.
3. If the test continues to abort, escalate the problem.
1000 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not
available. The port may be busy with a valid call. Use
the display port PCSSpp command to determine the
extension of the data module port. Use the status
data-module command to determine the service state
of the port. If the service state indicates that the port is in
use, then the port is unavailable for certain tests. (Refer
to the "Status Commands" section in Chapter 8,
‘‘Maintenance Commands and Trouble-Clearing Aids’’
for a full description of all possible states). You must wait
until the port is idle before retesting.
1. If the port status is idle, retry the command at
one-minute intervals a maximum of five times.
2. If the test continues to abort, escalate the problem.
