Descriptions and Error Codes
Investigate tests in the order presented. By clearing error codes associated with the Battery
Feed test (#35), you may also clear errors generated from other tests in the testing sequence.
NPE Crosstalk Test (#6)
One or more Network Processing Elements (NPEs) reside on each circuit pack with a TDM Bus
interface. The NPE controls port connectivity and gain, and provides conference functions on a
per-port basis.
This test verifies that this port’s NPE channel talks on the selected time slot and never crosses
over to time slots reserved for other connections. If the NPE is not working correctly, one-way
and noisy connections may be observed. This test is usually part of the long test sequence and
executes in about 20 to 30 seconds.
