Talk lets you talk to either a subscriber or a repair person on a subscriber's |
line. Talk does not ring the line so there must be someone waiting to talk to |
you on the other end of the line. A callback path is required for the talk |
request but if one does not already exist, talk will set one up for you if you |
have a callback number entered. If the line is already accessed before the |
talk request, MLT enters a "t" and the last 2 digits of the callback number |
under the callback heading and updates the time since access. You can request |
quick, loop, or full while in talk mode. |
Talkin: Talk over the subscriber's special services line |
Talkin lets you talk to a subscriber or a repair person on a special services |
line. Talkin does not ring the line so there must be someone waiting to talk |
to you on the other end of the line. A callback path is required for the |
talkin request but if one does not already exist, talkin sets one up for you |
if you have a callback number entered. If the line is already accessed before |
the talkin request, MLT enters a "t" and the last 2 digits of the callback |
number under the callback heading and updates the time since access. You must |
have an MDF access to request talkin. |
Tone+: Use loud tone to help identify a pair |
Tone+ puts a high amplitude tone on a line. It is used on pairs that are very |
long. The extra amplitude helps the repair-person hear the tone over long |
distances. Tone is used to help a repair person to locate the correct pair in |
a cable with many pairs of wires in it. Use tone+ when a repair person |
requests a tone on a very long pair. If you have a callback on the line, it |
will be placed in monitor mode. If the status line gets brighter & you get a |
changed state message, it means 1) The repair person found the pr & wants to |
talk to you or 2) The subscriber has gone off-hook. |
Tone: Use tone to help craft identify a pair |
Tone puts a metallic tone on a line. There may be many pairs in a single |
cable, making it difficult for a repair person to locate a specific line. The |
tone makes this job easier. Before MLT places a tone on a line it does a |
test. The results tell you if there is a fault on the line. If there is a |
callback on the line when you request a tone, it will be placed in monitor |
mode. If the status line gets brighter and you get a changed state message, |
it means either 1) The repair person found the pr & wants to talk to you or 2) |
The subscriber has gone off-hook. |
Toneca: Use tone to help identify a cable |
Toneca puts a longitudinal tone on a line. This tone helps the repair person |
find the cable binder group that the pair is in. The repair person finds the |
correct cable by listening for the tone. Because the tone can be heard on |
pairs other than the one you put it on, when tone or tone+ are inappropriate. |
If the repair person does not have time to find the cable on the first try, |
you can repeat the request. Before placing the tone on the line, MLT does a |
pretest and tells you if there is a fault on the line. |
Tonein: Use tone to help a technician identify a special services pair |
Tonein puts a metallic tone on a special services line. It may be difficult |
for a technician to locate a specific line. The tone makes this job easier. |
Before MLT places a tone on a line it does a pretest. An MDF access is |
required in order to request a tonein. If a callback is on the line when you |
request tonein, it is placed in monitor mode. If the status line gets |
brighter and you get a changed state message, it means either 1) The repair |
person found the pr & wants to talk to you or, 2) The subscriber has gone |
off-hook. |
Tt: Test the subscriber's touch-tone pad |
Tt checks a subscriber's touch-tone pad. It analyzes the tones produced when |
the subscriber presses the button before you make a tt request. You in the |
sequence 1 through 0. You must instruct the subscriber to press the buttons |
after hearing dial tone. Mlt will signal you over your headset with two beeps |
if the pad is good or one or no beeps if it is bad. A callback path should be |
established before you make a tt request. You must use a no-test trunk access |
to request it. You can use the ring request to contact the subscriber and set |
up a callback. |
Tv: Trouble verification request |
The tv request changes you from an stv mask to a tv mask. Tv is used when you |
need to do interactive testing of locally switched telephone lines, or tests |
using an MDF trunk. Switching to the tv mask will not affect any information |
you left in the stv mask -- your status lines will remain the same; however, |
the middle section of the mask will be changed. Any request done from a tv |
mask can also be done from an stv mask, but not vice versa. The request can |
only be run from a stv mask. |
Ver##: Get definition and example of a ver code |
Ver## gives you a description of the ver code that you type in place of the |
##. For example, a ver22 request will give you a definition of verification |
code number 22 and an example of a typical set of test results that might |
accompany a ver code of 22. Use this request whenever you can't remember what |
a certain ver code means. MLT stores your tv mask when you request ver code |
information. |
Ver: Test the entire telephone line |
Ver starts a series of tests that do an extensive analysis of the entire line. |
This includes both the inside and outside portions. Many individual tests are |
run but only the ver code and summary messages are displayed. Outside, MLT |
checks for AC and DC faults. Inside, it checks the line circuit and dial |
