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
AUTO-TRK-a b cccccc d eeee f gggg h iiii j kkkk.
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.
