Setup for NT8D14 (Univ Trk) for testing

[innytech]

Hello All:
I am trying to test Univ-Trk (NT8D14)in MG1010 chassis in a lab setting. Can I administer the NT8D14 completely from the EM? What options do I need to either access the trunk and dial external number? Or directly connect to the trunk port and test it for calls?

With EM configurations below: When I press ‘88’ from any phone connected to the switch, I do not get a second dial tone? When I press ‘9’, I get a second dial tone, but anything number pressed after that gives me a busy signal. When I connect an analog phone directly to the trunk port, I hear each key-pressed tone, and can't do anything with it. (Only TIE gives me the key-pressed tones among other options I've tried) Can anyone help me with all the options needed to test the 8 ports?
THANKS in advance!!

Your trunk type should be COT, not TIE

 

[innytech]

Thanks for the quick response. When I set it up as COT, I don't even get the key-pressed tone when I press keys as mentioned ealier. Also, I should have noted that I am not connecting to an actual CO. I would be connecting to an in-house extension number or into another switch to provide dial tone into the trunk or any other way suggested to test the trunk port for functionality.

 

[KCFLHRC]

You should be able to run an analog trunk or extension into this Loop Start Cot port on the NT8d14 card and get dial tone.

I agree. From other phones on the switch (say M3902 digital) should I not be able to get that dial tone by pressing the ACOD: 88 that I setup, or do you think something else missing? Thanks.

For testing

As posted, make this a COT Route; Set TARG=0 - most everyone else can be default.
Make the trunk SIGL=LOP and CLS=DTN, moist everything else can be default

For the test "phone", set CLS=UNR
