NPE Crosstalk Test (#617)
This test is destructive.
One or more 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 part of a port’s long test sequence and executes in
approximately 20 to 30 seconds. Crosstalk testing is performed on both
B channels (B1 and B2) associated with a BRI port. If this test fails on either
channel, any endpoint connected to the port is taken out-of-service.
This test is not executed for ABRI-PORT/ATT-PORT/LGATE-PT/ATTE-PT
because the B channels associated with the port are not used by ASAI or Avaya
adjuncts.

Result Description / Recommendation
1000 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not available. The port may be
busy with a valid call.
1. Use the display port PCSSpp command to determine the station
extension or trunk group/member number of the port. Use the status
bri-port PCSSpp command to determine the service state of the port. If
the service state indicates that the port is active, then the port is
unavailable for certain tests. (Refer to the “Status Commands” section in
Chapter 7, ‘‘Maintenance Commands’’, for a full description of every
possible state.) Wait until the port is idle before retesting.
2. If the port status is idle, then retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to
5 times.
3. If the test continues to abort, escalate the problem.
1004 ABORT The port has been seized by a user for a valid call.
1. Use the status station command for the station associated with this port
and determine when the port is available for testing.
2. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 5 times.
3. If the test continues to abort and the port is idle, escalate the problem.
1005 ABORT This test is not valid for this type of translation. Ports administered as “ASAI” or
“ADJK” cannot run this test, because the B channels associated with the port
are not used by ASAI or Avaya Adjunct Links. This is a normal condition.
