    摘要: A deferred maintenance mode for network elements is described, wherein upon failure of one or more resources in a network element, redundant resources are used to preserve functionality. Upon subsequent failure of the redundant resources, function can revert to the first set of resources if those resources have a higher level of functionality. This deferred mode is valuable in situations where it may not be possible to repair failed elements in a timely manner, or if there is a limit upon the amount of backup power available.

    摘要: A method of testing trunks grouped in tributaries to evaluate interoffice transmission quality across a TDM network of all trunks in the office. The method includes performing a testing cycle testing only one trunk in each tributary in the central office to verify transmission quality. Testing includes setting up an interoffice connection to the one trunk, performing a transmission test on the one trunk. The method can also include attempting a connection to every trunk in each tributary in the testing cycle. The method can also include performing a plurality of testing cycles until all trunks in the central office have been tested, wherein each testing cycle includes testing one untested trunk in each tributary.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for voice path assurance (VPA) testing in a packet network such as an Internet Protocol (IP) network is provided. More specifically, the invention relates to a voice path assurance (VPA) testing technique that is initiated by the terminating side of a logical connection through an IP network. The technique of the present invention is used to verify connectivity and performance—during a call set-up procedure—between the terminating endpoint and the originating endpoint of the logical connection through the IP network.
