Testing the Complete Configuration���

This section provides tests for the complete configuration, including the control and signaling networks and the telephones and consoles.

This section provides tests to:

• review the status of the configuration
• test the duplication link to the media servers
• test the IP server interfaces, expansion interfaces, and TDM buses in the port networks.
• test the telephones and other equipment.

See Testing Port Network Equipment for information regarding the LED status indicators for the media servers, Avaya Ethernet switch(es), UPSs, and different circuit packs.

NOTE: Circuit pack positions are usually given by cabinet, carrier, and slot. They may also be given by port. The term "cabinet" refers to an MCC1 Media Gateway, making up one to five port networks, or a stack of SCC1 Media Gateways or 4 G600 Media Gateways in a rack, making up one port network. A port network is defined as a group of media gateways or carriers connected together with one TDM bus.

Task List: Test the Configuration

CAUTION: To prevent unnecessary trouble tickets, do not enable the alarms (Alarm Origination feature) until all installation and administration procedures are completed.
