Facility test calls
The Facility Test Calls feature allows you to use a voice terminal to make test calls
to specific trunks, time slots, tones, and tone receivers within the system. The test

feature, it must be enabled on the Class of Restriction form, and you must know
the Facility Test Call Access Code. The code can be retrieved by entering
display feature-access-codes

Problems’’ in
