Silent channels
Silent channel—calls
have no voice and
produce a SEER
When you have a silent channel where calls have no voice
and produce a SEER, follow these steps.
Step Action
1 Check the status of channels by placing a call and watching the
status of the channel on the DSP Port Status screen. Load
Overlay 80 and do a call trace on the TN that is under test, as
outlined in the
X11 Input/Output Guide
(NTP 553-3001-400).
If the result shows the channel being acquired, the network
loop path from Meridian Mail to the Meridian 1 is correct and
secure.
If not, check the SEER printout for messages related to that
channel. Then take appropriate action for that SEER.
2 Make sure that Meridian Mail has been configured with valid
TNs and secondary DNs by checking the CAT table. If the TNs
or DNs are incorrect for a particular card, follow steps 2a to 2d.
TN restriction formats:
loop is double density only
shelf = 0 or 1
card = 2 or 3
unit = 0 to 7
a. Disable the card using the System Status and Maintenance
function, as described in the
System Administration Guide
(NTP 555-7001-30x).
b. Log in to the TOOLS level. Select the “Modify hardware”
tool, and modify the TNs and DNs if necessary.
c. Change the DNs in the CAT table.
d. Perform out-of-service diagnostics, and reenable the card.
3 Ensure that each network loop is configured on the Meridian 1
by performing loop diagnostics in LD 30. Refer to the
X11 Input/
Output Guide
(NTP 553-3001-400).
4 Check the voice cards:
a. Disable and reseat the voice cards.
b. Perform out-of-service diagnostics.
c. Reenable the voice cards.
