E1 Interfaces Commissioning
Step
Remark
1
Take out all E1 connectors of an E32/T32 from the DDF. Make
self-loop on the E1 interface.
2
DSP E1PORT to display status of the E32/T32 interface. The E1 port
should be in the OK state.
3
To further examine E1 port, use LOP E1 to conduct software loopback
with loopback mode set to local loop. The E1 port status should be
OK.
4
To further examine E1 cable, measure the E1 connector resistance
between the copper sheet and the core with a multi-meter
5
After test, restore normal connection of all connectors. Run LOP E1
with loopback mode set to Non-loopback to release interface self
loopback.
6
DSP E1LOP: to check if self loopback of all interfaces is
released.

E1 Interfaces Commissioning
Step
Remark
1
LOP E1: the loopback mode is set to OUTLOP (Remote). Ask the peer
side to check status of the peer E1 interface. The peer E1
interface should be in the OK state. If the links are normal, go to
step 3; if abnormal, continue with step 2.
2
Make loopback tests section by section to determine the very
section with transport problems.
3
The loopback tests prove interfaces are OK, but they become FAULT
again after loopbacks. In this case, run DSP E1PORT to check if the
frame structure and line coding scheme of the UMG8900 match those
of the peer device.
When E1 cables are used to link the UMG8900 and other devices such
as an MSC, check these E1 links before call test. If the links are
faulty or there is much noise during conversation, the most common
way is to make loopback test and bit error rate test. The most
efficient way is to connect the UMG8900 with the peer device such
as a BSC or an MSC through the E1 trunk and then make dial test
over this trunk on the MGC. Check if the call can be set up
normally and observe the quality of voice.

E1 Interfaces Commissioning
The OK status indicates the port has no lines crossed.
If a port is followed with a number ranging from 0 to 31, the port
has lines crossed.
Note:
Set the peer device in remote loopback mode and the UMG8900 with no
loopback before running this command !
Lines cross means that the receive or send line of an E1 system
connects the send or receive line of another E1 system.

SDH Interfaces Commissioning
Step1: Checking if the LINK indicator of the SDH interface is
on.
Step2: To conduct loopback test with a flange at the ODF for both
sides, and check the SDH interface indicators of both sides.
Step3: If the LINK indicator is on during loopback test but off
after the test, check if the receive and send cables are inserted
to interfaces reversely.
DSP S2LPORT: to check if the configurations of the local frame
structure and type match those of the peer device.
Step4: LST SDHFLAG
Checking Overhead Byte Configuration Of SDH. The overhead bytes of
the S2L that must be consistent with the peer device include C2, J1

Service Commissioning
The most direct and efficient way for service commissioning is to
make test calls. In different networking applications, the steps
for service debugging are different. The following steps are just
for reference.
Debugging Voice Services
Voice service
Use a MS to dial a local fixed-line phone 50 times, and use a local
fixed-line phone to dial a MS 50 times too.
Of the 100 times of calls, over 90% are set up with clear voice (no
obvious noises).
Use a MS to call another MS 50 times.
Of the 50 times of calls, over 90% are set up with clear voice (no
obvious noises).
