First Steps in Testing - Section 2
Connecting a
Basic Call
This section explains how to use aurora
Sonata
to connect
outgoing and incoming calls, display call status and clear calls.
Note
To set up calls, aurora
Sonata
must be in Simulation mode—that
is, emulating an ISDN device or the network itself. For details,
see Choosing the operating mode in Chapter 2 section 3.
The purpose of connecting calls
Often, the first test you would perform on an ISDN link you
are provisioning or maintaining is to connect aurora
Sonata
to the
line and check whether you can make a call between it and
one of the following:
• another piece of ISDN equipment
• a Terminal Adaptor (TA) connected to non-ISDN
equipment
• another ISDN tester
• another B channel on your own aurora
Sonata
Once you have a connected call you can use it as the basis for
testing line quality, service availability and so on. You will find
full instructions for these tests in Chapter 4.
Tip
aurora
Sonata
’s ISDN Test Suite allows you to check many
features of the link at the touch of a button. For an
introduction to the Test Suite, see Chapter 4 section 1.
If the call fails, you can perform further tests to find out more
about the problem. For example, you might test the physical
link or try to make calls using other ISDN services.
