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
