Overview
NEW! For R6.1
SSA now has the ability to generate/analyze BERT test patterns on IP500 PRI Trunk
cards (single and dual).
SSA menus to select Line or Channel loopback on IP500 PRI Trunk cards
• Lines - Payload or Line Loopback
• Channels - Payload Loopback
To enable loopback or to run a bit error rate test the effect channels or line must be
first set Out of Service, and cannot have a call in progress. SSA can be used to
disconnect active calls, then once idle, SSA will command the IP Office to
generate/analyze test patterns. SSA / IP Office will only support the testing of a
single channel/circuit at a time
Initiated tests report results
• Elapsed Time
• Errored Seconds
• Errors Detected
• Errors Injected
• Bit Error Rate
SSA buttons
• Reset Counters
• Inject Errors
• Stop Tests
Trunks/Channels “Out of Service” Diagnostics
SSA provides the system engineer with the ability to place TDM trunks Out of Service
without requiring a reboot. There is a new tab on the Trunks form in SSA for “Line
Testing”
In and Out of Service options are delivered via Manager (PRI/T1 Trunk) and SSA
(Trunks / Status). The existing options in Manager can be “merged”.
NEW! For R6.0
Secure Digital (SD) Cards now includes SSA software to allow for an SSA connection
through a web browser. Additional commands and the ability to upgrade the unit have been
added to SSA in R6.0.
System Status Application
The System Status Application (SSA) is a diagnostic tool for system managers and administrators
to monitor and check the status of IP Office systems locally or remotely. SSA shows both the
current state of an IP Office system and details of any problems that have occurred. The
information reported is a combination of real-time events, historical events, status and
configuration data to assist fault finding and diagnosis. SSA provides real-time status, historic
utilization and alarm information for ports, modules and expansion cards on the system. SSA
connects to all variants of IP Office running release 4.0 or later, using an IP connection that can be
remote or local. Modem connections at 14.4kbps or above are supported for remote diagnostics.
SSA provides real-time status, historic utilization and alarm information for ports, modules and
expansion cards on the system.
SSA is part of the IP Office 4.0 or later suite and connects to all variants of IP Office 4.0 or later
software, using an IP connection that can be remote or local.
