connected to the AT&T fractional T-1 service, and it does not terminate on local
endpoint equipment but is connected to a far-end CPE (for example, another
DEFINITY PBX) via the dedicated fractional T-1. All Wideband Access Endpoint
functionality and operation is identical on both line-side and network facilities.
However, because maintenance capabilities are limited to the Wideband Access
Endpoint interface, and because faults can occur end-to-end, troubleshooting
procedures based on an end-to-end view of the network is required.
Wideband Access Endpoint Port maintenance provides a strategy for
maintaining a Wideband Access Endpoint Port via a port on the Universal DS1
interface circuit pack hardware. The maintenance strategy involves logging
Wideband Access Endpoint Port hardware errors, running tests for port
initialization, periodic and scheduled maintenance, system
technician-demanded tests, and alarm escalation and resolution. Two different
port service states are specified in the Wideband Access Endpoint Port
maintenance. These states include
out-of-service , where the port is in a
deactivated state and cannot be used for calls, and
in-service , where the port is
in an activated state and can be used for calls. If the Universal DS1 Interface
circuit pack (TN464C) is out-of-service, all ports on the Universal DS1 Interface
circuit pack (TN464C) are placed into the out-of-service state.
