Conference Circuit Test (#7)
One or more 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 Conference Circuit Test verifies that the NPE channel for 
the port being tested can correctly perform the conferencing function. The NPE is 
instructed to listen to several different tones and conference the tones together. 
The resulting signal is then measured by a Tone Detector port. If the level of the 
tone is within a certain range, the test passes.

Result Description/ Recommendation
ABORT System resources required for this test are not available.
1. Retry the command at one-minute intervals a 
maximum of five times.
2. If the test continues to abort, escalate the problem.
1000 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not 
available. The port may be in use on a valid call. Use the 
status station or status trunk command to determine 
when the port is available for testing.
1. Retry the command at one-minute intervals a 
maximum of five times.
2. If the test continues to abort, and the port is not in 
use, escalate the problem.
1002 ABORT The test was aborted because the system could not 
allocate time slots for the test. The system might be 
under heavy traffic conditions, or it might have time slots 
out of service due to TDM-BUS errors. (The status 
health command may be used to determine whether the 
system is experiencing heavy traffic.) Refer to the 
TDM-BUS (TDM bus) Maintenance documentation to 
diagnose any active TDM-BUS errors.
1. If the system has no TDM-BUS errors, is not 
handling heavy traffic, and the port status is idle, 
retry the command at 1-minute intervals for a 
maximum of 5 times.
2. If the test continues to abort, escalate the problem.
