test switch-control
test switch-control [C] [short | long] [repeat # | clear] [schedule]
The
test switch-control
command performs hardware diagnostic tests of the
PPN Archangel, or SW-CTL circuit, on a specified MSSNET circuit pack. The PPN
Archangel is responsible for transmitting messages back and forth between the
SPE and the port circuit packs. For the short test of the active PPN Archangel, a
loop-around test and a Control Channel test are performed. For the short test of
the standby PPN Archangel, only the loop-around test is performed.
The long test includes a reset. When applied to the active PPN Archangel, this
momentarily prevents call origination from stations or trunks connected to ports
in the PPN. It is non-destructive for existing calls.
Parameters
test synchronization
test synchronization [short | long] [repeat
# | clear] [schedule]
The
test synchronization
command checks the timing synchronization source
and updates circuit packs with the correct synchronization parameters. The
tone-clocks, DS1s, and EIs are sent down-link messages to place them in the
correct synchronization configuration given the current on-line synchronization
reference.
The synchronization subsystem provides error-free digital communication
between the switch and other PBXs, COs, or customer premises equipment. The
subsystem is made up of the TDM bus clock, DS1 trunk circuit packs, and
maintenance and administration software resident in the SPE.

This will execute a more comprehensive and longer version of the diagnostic
tests. When applied to the active PPN Archangel, this momentarily prevents
call origination from stations or trunks connected to ports in the PPN. It is
non-destructive for existing calls.
