+------------------------ Telecom 199 line test -------------------------+
A SALT is what you connect to when you dial 199 on an ARE line. On an AXE
line, 199 connects you to a SULT-D.
If you are on an AXE exchange, you will hear a normal ring tone after you
dial 199. If you are on an ARE then you will hear a very LOUD "BRRRRR"
(like a loud dialtone)...Older exchanges...? If you have to dial pulse
199, forget about being connected to a new exchange! 8^)
Here is a complete list of the tests that SALT can do. And no, 199 doesn't
just test your ringer :-)
SALT & ABR
~~~~ ~ ~~~
Number: 199
If SALT is free then a ring tone is heard, otherwise wait for the engaged
tone. Once ring tone is heard you hang up, and wait for 'phone to ring back
(about four seconds)
If it is SALT then you'll get a dial tone
If it is ABR then you'll get a 900hz tone
For SALT you can do different tests. firstly you dial the number and wait for
a ring tone, then hang up. Wait for it to ring back, pick it up then you get
a tone:
- a 900hz tone means ok.
- an engaged tone means faulty
- a nu (beeeeeeeeeeeep beeeeeeeeeeep) tone means the line is faulty
Dial 1 listen for ring tone, then dial 0 for a dial/inpulse test.
- if + sec 900hz then ring tone = dial inpulsing & count ok
- if nu tone then impulses are incorrect (replace 'phone)
- if engaged tone then count is incorrect (replace 'phone)
Dial 3 for a bell test (full voltage) [ normal ring ]
Dial 4 for a bell test (half voltage) [ shorter and sharper rings ]
Dial 5 for an insulation resistance test on side A of line.
Dial 6 for an insulation resistance test of both sides of line to Earth.
Dial 7 for a test between line conductors.
Dial 8 for a line loop resistance test (straight away)
- if busy tone loop resistance is too high
- if nu tone loop resistance is too low
[ dial 199, wait until it rings, enter ATDT 8 to see if your modem's
impedance is too high/low ]
Dial 9 to test SALT
