Communication Manager Maintenance-Object Repair Procedures
840 Maintenance Procedures for Avaya Communication Manager 3.0, Media Gateways and Servers
If error count associated with this error type is very high (i.e., 255) and if Alarm Status on the
Hardware Error Report is “n” (not alarmed), then the existence of this error type indicates
that, despite the fact that many in-line error messages have been received, every Call
Seizure test has passed. Problems at the CO may cause this condition rather than
problems with the PBX.
f. Error Types 1025/1281: logged for every version of the CO-TRK/CO-BD. However, no
MINOR alarms will be generated for Central Office Trunks [TN747B] with vintages V8 or
greater. Any failures received by this test will still be logged as Error type 1025/1281.
Check for the use of MFT/Range extenders. If there are extenders present, and there are
no other complaints or maintenance errors against this trunk, then there is a good chance
that Test #3 failed due to excessive loop current and may be ignored.
g. Error Type 3840: test calls made by the Automatic Transmission Measurement System
(ATMS) returned measurements in the unacceptable range.
Error Type 3841: measurements were in the marginal range. Use list testcall
detail to examine the specific transmission parameters that are out of spec, and
investigate the trunk for that kind of noise. If the noise is acceptable, then the AMTS
thresholds administered on the trunk group screen should be changed.
S8300 / G700: The associated tests for these error types do not run on a G700 Media
Gateway, and abort with Error Code 1412.

Error Description and Repair Action
1 57347 Port error. Ringing without ground. This error is detected on an incoming
call on a ground-start CO trunk. The CO trunk circuit pack has not detected
a Tip ground before ringing current is detected. This may indicate that the
ground detector is not working. However, the call will be accepted. Busyout
the affected port, and run a long test. Observe the test results. If any tests
fail, refer to the description of the tests and the associated error codes.
Release the port. If users continue to report troubles, check for other errors
and make test calls to determine whether the problem should be referred to
the CO.
257 50176 Battery reversal detected. This is usually caused by the CO (often seen with
step-by-step and cross-bar offices in connection with outgoing calls). This is
detected if the direction of the loop current changes from normal to reverse
for at least 40 msec. Could occur if the trunk was just installed and for some
reason the Tip and Ring wires were reversed at the PBX. If battery reversals
occur during dialing, wrong numbers may result. Refer problem to CO. Ask
them to remove the battery reversal option.
