System Technician-Demanded Tests: Descriptions 
and Error Codes
Always investigate tests in the order presented in Table 3-66 when inspecting the 
errors in the system. By clearing error codes associated with the Expansion 
InterfaceTest, for example, you may also clear errors generated from other tests 
in the testing sequence.
NOTE:
To get a better indication of a problem’s location, test both ATM-EI circuit 
packs on the associated fiber link, whether the circuit packs are both 
ATM-EI circuit packs or not.
Expansion Interface 2-way Transmission Test 
(#241)
This test is non-destructive and applies to all ATM-EIs, both active and standby. It 
is run as part of craft short and long testing, periodic, scheduled, initialization, 
and error analysis testing. The test sets up a connection between a Tone/Clock in 
one cabinet and a Tone Detector in a separate cabinet and transmits a digital test 
count between the port networks. The ATM-EIs used to set up this connection are 
chosen by maintenance, not call processing. After the connection is checked for 
dial-tone, the connection is torn down and re-established in the opposite 
direction.
