NPE Crosstalk Test (#6)
One or more Network Processing Elements (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. This test is
usually only part of a port’s Long Test Sequence and takes about 20 to 30
seconds to complete.

Result Description/Recommendation
ABORT Could not allocate the necessary system resources to run this
test.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5
times.
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 station extension. Use
the status station command to determine the service state of
the port. If the service state indicates that the port is in use, the
port is unavailable for certain tests. You must wait until the port
is idle before retesting.
1. If the port status is idle, retry the command at 1-minute
intervals a maximum of 5 times.
1001 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not available.
This could be due to a failure to seize the port.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5
times.
1002 ABORT The system could not allocate time slots for the test. The
system may be under heavy traffic conditions or it may have
time slots out-of-service due to TDM-BUS errors. Refer to
“TDM-BUS (TDM Bus)” Maintenance documentation to
diagnose any active TDM-BUS errors.
1. If system has no TDM-BUS errors and is not handling
heavy traffic, repeat test at 1-minute intervals a maximum
of 5 times.
