Digital Line NPE Crosstalk Test (#9)
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 conferencing functions on a per-port basis. The NPE Crosstalk 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 
part of a port’s Long Test Sequence and takes about 20 to 30 seconds to 
complete. Crosstalk testing is performed on both the primary information channel 
(voice) and the secondary information channel (data) associated with each 
digital station port. If this test fails on either channel, the station and the DTDM 
are taken out-of-service.
16 FAIL The secondary channel (data Information Channel 2 or I2 is not operating 
properly. User impact may range from noticing nothing to not being able to 
use this terminal. Check the results of Voice and Control Channel Local 
Loop Test (#13). If that test fails, suspect the Digital Line circuit pack. If 
that test passes then replace the terminal. If both test fail, and component 
replacement does not change the results, then:
1. Run circuit pack tests to check the tone generator circuit pack and the 
Tone Detector circuit pack using the test board PCSSpp command.
2. Resolve any problems that are detected on the Tone Generator circuit 
pack or Tone Detector circuit pack.
3. If the Tone Generator and Tone Detector circuit pack are functioning 
properly, and the tests still fail, escalate the problem.
PASS Voice and Control Channel Local Loop test passed. All channels are 
transmitting properly.
1. To be sure that this is not an intermittent problem, repeat this test up to 
a maximum of ten times to make sure it continues to pass.
2. If complaints persist (noisy connections for voice. corrupted data 
transfer for data), examine the station, connections, and wiring.
