Continuity tests are used to test the speech or transmission path of SS7 circuits. It also ensures that the SS7 ISUP interface circuits (CIC) are aligned with the same physical links (E1/T1) on both ends. Toolpack version 2.7 allows users of the TMG to do ISUP Continuity Testing via 3 methods by CIC Group or individual CIC:
Incoming Continuity Testing Outside a Call
This circuit testing occurs when one of the nodes wants to validate a currently idle circuit. It is recommended that the switch first blocks the circuit to prevent calls from using the circuit during the testing.
For ITU:
Peer SP TMG | | |---------- CCR ---------->| | | (timeslot loopback) |---------- Tone ----------\ |<-------------------------/ | | |---------- REL ---------->| |<--------- RLC -----------|
For ANSI:
Peer SP TMG | | |---------- CCR ---------->| | | (timeslot loopback) |<--------- LPA -----------| | | |---------- Tone ----------\ |<-------------------------/ | | |---------- REL ---------->| |<--------- RLC -----------|
Incoming Continuity Testing Within A Call
This circuit testing occurs when the forward side (originating side) sets the ‘continuity test required’ field of the ‘nature of connection indicators’ IE into the IAM message.
Successful continuity check:
Peer SP TMG | | |---------- IAM ---------->| 'continuity test required' | | | | (timeslot loopback) |---------- Tone ----------\ |<-------------------------/ | | |---------- COT ---------->| continuity check successful . . . . . . |---------- REL ---------->| |<--------- RLC -----------|
Failed continuity check with retry from Peer SP:
Peer SP TMG | | |---------- IAM ---------->| 'continuity test required' | | | | (timeslot loopback) |---------- Tone ----------\ |<-------------------------/ | | |---------- COT ---------->| continuity check failed | | Retry |---------- CCR ---------->| | | (timeslot loopback) |---------- Tone ----------\ |<-------------------------/ | | |---------- COT ---------->| continuity check successful . . . . . . |---------- REL ---------->| |<--------- RLC -----------|
Outgoing Continuity Testing
Users of the Tmedia unit can easily generate, out of call, SS7 ISUP Continuity Tests using the web portal.
Peer SP TMG | | |<--------- CCR ---------- | (timeslot | | loopback) | | /---------- Tone ----------| \------------------------->| ccr success or fail | | |<--------- REL -----------| |---------- RLC ---------->|
