1. PURPOSE

   Requests the Automatic Transmission Measuring System (ATMS) Processor- 
   Controlled Interrogator (PCI) to perform a loss and noise test sequence 
   on the specified trunk or trunk groups.

2. FORMAT

3. EXPLANATION OF MESSAGE

   Notes: The PCI uses the far-end test line directory number found in the 
   automatic trunk test table for the tests.  It compares the results of 
   the tests with the specified limits.

   This message is designed for automatic paper tape operation.  Each 
   message on paper tape should be followed by X-OFF (ASCII DC3) and 5 or 
   more RUB (ASCII DEL) characters.

   All Tests Passed (ATP) indications will not result in an output message.

   a =   A - Abort group test in progress.
          
     =   G - Group of trunks.  The Trunk Group Number (TGN) is 
         specified by 'c'.

     =   S - Single Trunk Network Number (TNN) specified by 'c'.

   b =   7 - Near-end local, far-end local.

     =   8 - Near-end Tandem I, far-end tandem.
  
     =   9 - Near-end Tandem II, far-end tandem.

   c =   Six-digit TGN (Two leading zeros plus 4-digit TGN).

     =   Six-digit TNN.

   d =   M if 'e' is minus.

     =   P if 'e' is positive.

   e =   (0 D1 D2 D3) - Four-digit expected measured loss (EMI). 
         Nominal value of loss for the Trunk Network Number (TNN) 
	 being tested.  (There is an assumed decimal point between 
	 D2 and D3.)
   
   f =   M if 'g' is minus.

     =   P if 'g' is positive.
   
   g =   (0 D1 D2 D3) - Four-digit upper limit of loss for the 
         Trunk Network Number (TNN) being tested.  (There is an 
	 assumed decimal point between D2 and D3.)

   h =   M if 'i' is minus.

     =   P if 'i' is positive.

   i =   (0 D1 D2 D3) - Four-digit lower limit of loss for the TNN 
         being tested.  (There is an assumed decimal point between 
	 D2 and D3.)

   j =   M if 'k' is minus.

     =   P if 'k' is positive.
     
   k =   (D1 D2 D3 0) - Four-digit upper limit of noise for the TNN 
         being tested.  (There is an assumed decimal point between 
	 D3 and 0.)
     
4. SYSTEM RESPONSE

   NO =  Indicates that the request was denied.  Reasons are as 
         follows:

      =  Unassigned TNN or trunk group specified.

      =  Request for a trunk in trunk group 0 or trunk group 
         request for trunk group 0.

      =  Invalid abort request.

      =  Unable to handle request presently.

      =  The requesting channel is not authorized to test the 
         specified trunk group or trunk.

   NG =  Variable field 'b' is not equal to 6, 7, 8 or 9.

   PF =  Indicates that the test request was accepted; output 
         message AT01 will follow.
