You can specify a day of the week and a time by selecting entries from
the Day/Time list boxes. This choice instructs the system to act as if the
day and time you select are the current day and time.
If you have timed routes defined in the dial plan, you use different day
and time settings to determine whether the timed route works properly.
Example: Assume that you want a timed route to select route 35 during
open business hours Monday through Friday, but route 36 when business
is closed on those days and on weekends. After you define the timed
route commands and import the modified file, you then test using days
and times within business hours (to verify that the system selects route 35)
and during closed hours and weekends (to verify that it selects route 36).
You can also use day and time settings to test whether the Class of
Service settings operate as expected.
Example: You can configure the dial plan to allow toll calls from an
extension during open business hours, but to disallow such calls when
the business is closed and on weekends. Test using days and times within
business hours (to confirm that you can make toll calls from that
extension) and during closed hours and weekends (to confirm that the
system prevents such calls).
To create and run a test using the currently loaded dial plan:
1 In the NBX NetSet – Main Menu window, click Dial Plan. The Dial Plan
window appears, displaying the Operations tab.
2 Click
Test
. The Test Dial Plan dialog box appears.
3 To set up the simulated call, from the Device to dial from list box, select
the number from which you want to dial.
4 In Number to dial, enter the number that you want the system to dial.
5 Select the desired date and time in the Day/Time pull-down lists.
For some tests, the day and time settings are irrelevant. You can leave the
settings at their default values (Sunday, 00, and 00).
6 Click Test. The test runs and the results appear in the dialog box.
Generating a
Dial Plan Report
This section describes how to create a report containing all dial plan
settings, tables, routes, and pretranslators. The report also performs
a consistency check to ensure that all dial plan table entries point to valid
