Purpose:

This command applies to the T1/E1 trunk resiliency feature. Use this command to test the configuration of the T1/E1 trunks on the secondary controller without taking the primary controller out of service and without dropping any calls in progress.

  1. Enter this command on the primary controller. The primary controller waits until all the T1/E1 trunk circuits are idle before it passes control of the trunk over to the secondary controller.

  2. Enter the EDT Show Resiliency command to check the resiliency status of the T1/E1 trunk circuits. Circuits that are in Courtesy Handoff mode are listed in "CHM" state.

  3. Check the front panel of the primary controller.  After control of the T1/E1 trunk has been passed to the secondary controller, the indicators on the T1/E1 Combo MMC should flash GREEN and RED.

  4. Check the front panel of the secondary controller. The RED alarm indicator on the T1/E1 MMC should turn off and the GREEN status indicator should turn on steady.

  5. Test the configuration of the resilient T1/E1 trunk by placing calls through the trunk while it is supported on the secondary controller.

  6. Use the EDT Forced Failback command to return support of the T1/E1 trunk to the primary controller.
