Performing acceptance testing 87To conduct the acceptance testing, make sure that the Fiber RemoteIPE at the remote site contains at least one IPE (line) card with at leasttwo telephones connected to its subscriber loops. If possible, use someanalog (500/2500-type) telephones to check the ringing generator andsome digital telephones to check the Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF)operation. Also, make sure that a terminal or a TTY is connected tothe MMI port through the Fiber Peripheral Controller card backplaneconnector.If using wall-mounted main and extension cabinets, install at least one linecard in each cabinet and connect at least one telephone to each line cardsubscriber loop.Performing acceptance testingSince functions and features at the Fiber Remote IPE site are identical tofunctions and features at the local site, the main purpose of acceptancetesting is to verify that fiber-optic equipment is functioning correctly. Thiscan be accomplished by:• performing basic voice calls• using the MMI terminal to configure and maintain Fiber Remote IPEequipment• checking the protection switching of the fiber-optic linkVoice callsA voice call can be established between two telephones across a network,between two telephones on the same PBX, and even between twotelephones on the same line card.Acceptance testing of Fiber Remote IPE voice calls is conducted whentesting the following basic system features supported by telephonesconnected to subscriber loops at the remote site:• placing a call to the remote site• placing a call in call hold/call retrievePlacing a call to the remote siteFrom the local site, place a call to a Fiber Remote IPE site by dialing aremote station directory number (extension number).Note: The local system treats Fiber Remote IPE subscriber loops aslocal loops; therefore, dial only the extension number to access thatstation.Nortel Communication Server 1000Fiber Remote IPE FundamentalsNN43021-554 04.01 4 June 2010Copyright © 2007-2010 Nortel Networks.
