522 / Provisioning BRI and PRI lines Modular ICS 6.0 Installer GuideP0992638 03 Provisioning BRI and PRI lines This section discusses how you put BRI and PRI lines into and out of service. BRI and T1 lines Provisioning applies to BRI and T1 loops and lines. It allows you to place loops and lines in or out of service, either before or after the BRI Cards have been installed in the ICS. When you provision a loop, ISDN terminals on the loop can be used to make outgoing calls or receive incoming calls (S or U-LT loop). Loop lines are also available for use by the devices attached to the system (T, S, or U-NT loop). When you are configuring a T, S, or NT loop, you must also provision each line on the loop to place the lines in service. Cd1-ICS Installer password required The card type will appear with the setting. If no card has been installed, you can change the card type under Hardware. 1. Press ≠ to display the loops found on the card. 2. Press REMOVE to take the loop out of service. 3. If lines on the loop are busy, the display will ask if you still want to remove the loop from service. Press YES to go ahead.
Provisioning BRI and PRI lines / 523 P0992638 03Modular ICS 6. 0 Installer Guide L001Installer password required If the loop is configured as a U-NT, T or S loop, press ≠ and ‘ to display the individual lines. There are no lines associated with an S or U-LT loop. 1. Press REMOVE to take the line out of service. 2. If line is busy, the display will ask if you still want to remove it from service. Press YES to go ahead. Provisioning a T1 line Installer password required Start with the display showing Network evt log. 1. Press ‘. Provisioning displays. 2. Select a module and card type, see Show module on page 455. 3. Press ≠. Show module: displays. 4. Enter the number of the line to be provisioned. The display shows the line and its current status. 5. Press PORT to identify the logical port number for the line. Lines cannot be provisioned from the PORT display. Press LINE to return to the line number display. 6. Press ‘ to view settings for the next line number. 7. Press – until you return to Provisioning. Provisioning a PRI line ISDN lines are provisioned by default. For information on adding a DTI card (configured as PRI) see Cards on KSU on page 455.
524 / Provisioning BRI and PRI lines Modular ICS 6.0 Installer GuideP0992638 03 Deprovisioning a line Deprovisioning all of the lines on a DTI does not disable the cartridge. Disabling a PRI Channel PRI channels can be disabled. However, there is no association between a line number and a b-channel. Disabling a b-channel can be done when you have fractional PRI. See Fractional PRI on page 540.
Tests / 525 P0992638 03Modular ICS 6. 0 Installer Guide Tests Norstar allows you to run tests which verify the integrity of the installation wiring for the telephones. In addition, you can evaluate the transmission quality of a BRI loop through your service provider using a loopback test to evaluate different aspects and segments of the T1 digital transmission path. You can only run one loopback test at a time on any one DTI. Loopback tests for T1 or ISDN-PRI lines Installer password required The following messages may appear on the Alarm Telephone during Loopback tests. Choose an appropriate time to run tests. Do not run the loopback tests while ports are being disabled or during the first two minutes after Startup programming. If you do, the tests may stop running with ports still disabled. To recover from this, unplug the ICS from the power outlet, then plug it in again. The loopback tests disrupt service. Do not run tests during busy user times.

526 / Tests Modular ICS 6.0 Installer GuideP0992638 03 Line loopback The line loopback test loops the full 1.544 Mbps signal received from the network back to the network. The looped signal is regenerated without any change in the framing format and without the removal of any bipolar violations. The line loopback test can also be invoked and stopped remotely using the in-band signal or via the facility data link (FDL) in extended super frame (ESF) format. The line loopback test must be run in coordination with the T1 or PRI service provider. Some test patterns can cause the DTI to reset. To avoid this, start the line loopback test from your system before the T1 or PRI service provider begins their test, and stop the line loopback test from your system after the T1 or PRI service provider ends their test.

Tests / 527 P0992638 03Modular ICS 6. 0 Installer Guide Payload loopback The payload loopback test loops the received information bits (192 per frame) back to the network. The payload loopback test can also be invoked and stopped remotely via the facility data link (FDL) in extended super frame (ESF) format. The payload loopback test must be run in coordination with the T1 service provider. Some test patterns can cause the DTI to reset. To avoid this, start the payload loopback test from your system before the T1 service provider begins their test, and stop the payload loopback test from your system after the T1 service provider ends their test.

Tests / 529 P0992638 03Modular ICS 6. 0 Installer Guide The continuity loopback test shorts the tip and ring pair of the receive signal path with the transmit signal path. This test allows you to check the metallic continuity of the external wiring. Tests initiated from Norstar You can start and stop Loopback tests in Maintenance programming under the heading Loopback tests. You can also push a button on the DTI faceplate to start and stop the continuity test. You can run DTE and DS30 Loopback tests to verify the SDI data transfer capabilities. Under the Hardware heading, ensure that the Type setting for data module is SDI before choosing the Loopback test you will run. Tests initiated by the central office If the internal CSU is administered on line loopback and payload loopback tests can also be invoked and stopped by the central office. In order to be able to run a payload loopback test, the DTI must be configured for extended superframe format.
530 / Tests Modular ICS 6.0 Installer GuideP0992638 03 Starting a loopback tests Installer password required Start with the display showing Loopback tests:. 8. Press ≠. Show Module: displays. 9. Press ‘. Cards on KSU displays. If you want to test cartridges on another module, press ‘ until the display shows the module. 10. Press ≠. Cd1-KSU displays. If you want to test the second cartridge on the KSU, press ‘ . The display shows Cd2-KSU. 11. Press ≠. If there is an analog cartridge in the slot or the slot is empty, the display shows Need digital crd. 12. Press ‘ until the display shows the test you want to run: Continuity loopback, Line loopback, Payload loopback, Card edge loopback. 13. Press START to begin the test. The display shows the test name followed by running. 14. Press STOP to end the test. Give notice that you are running a loopback test. Calls on all T1 or PRI lines on the DTI will be automatically dropped when a loopback test is invoked. Use the Page feature to notify people using the system that a test is about to begin and that calls will be disconnected.
