The BSC sends reports to the BSC terminal to acknowledge commands, and
to convey information in response to commands.
Reports can be viewed in two formats:
Compressed Report View, which provides selected information about the

event which has occurred
Full Report View, which provides full information about the event which
has occurred.
By default, reports received from the BSC are displayed in the Compressed
Report View window as they arrive. When the Realtime function is activated,
reports are displayed in the Full View Report window when received from
the BSC.
Display a number of full view report windows simultaneously by double
clicking on the compressed report. This allows comparisons to be made
between different reports.
2.4.1 Compressed View

9 Test Command Results
This section describes how to decode test results.
3BK 21283 AAAA PCZZA Ed.14 89 / 100

9.1 Test Report Format

When a test or verify command is executed in the BSC, the test results are
sent as a test report. The following figure shows the format of the displayed
test report.
Success or failure is reported in the ’Job Result’ field of the test report. In the
case of tests applied to SBLs CPR, DTC, TCU, Link, Switch and N7, additional
Test Result information is provided at the bottom of the report.
This consists of:
Segment
Flt-type
Raw-Data.
The Test Raw Data information appears in hexadecimal (H’00 to H’FF).

The following sections show how test results are decoded for CPR/DTC/TCU,
Link/Switch, and N7.
90 / 100 3BK 21283 AAAA PCZZA Ed.14

9.2 Link/Switch Test Results

9.2.1 Example Test Results
The test results for Link and Switch have the same format, as shown in
Tables 3 and 4.
Job Result Successful (no failures)
Test Segment 0
Test Fault Type 0
Test Raw Data H’FF H’FF H’FF H’FF H’FF

H’FF H’FF H’FF H’FF H’FF
Table 3: Successful Test Results Format for Link/Switch
A successful job result is accompanied by the Test Segment, Test Fault Type
and Test Raw Data values shown in Table 3. This means that the tests
executed and there are no failures.
An unsuccessful job result can mean that the tests executed but there are
failures, or the tests did not execute. Both cases are shown in the following
table.
Job Result Unsuccessful (some failures) Unsuccessful (tests not executed)
Test Segment 13 (See Table 6) 0
Test Fault Type 60 (See Table 7) 0
Test Raw Data H’00 H’45 H’00 H’40 H’13 H’00 H’45 H’00 H’40 H’FF
H’10 H’10 H’12 H’10 H’10 H’FF H’FF H’FF H’FF H’FF
(See Table 8)
Table 4: Unsuccessful Test Results Format for Link/Switch
3BK 21283 AAAA PCZZA Ed.14 91 / 100

If the tests execute and failures are detected, the Test Segment and Test Fault
Type values are not both at 0. Tables 6 and 7 show how to decode these
values; this indicates the fault type. The meaning of the Test Raw Data bytes
(Bytes 1 to 20) are shown in Table 8; this gives more information about the fault.
If tests fail or do not execute, Bytes 1 to 4 of the Test Raw Data give the
addresses of the link and switch associated with the test.
The following table shows the decode of the example failure data in Table 4.

9.2.2 Link/Switch Test Segment Results

The following table shows the meaning of the Test Segment error code.
Test Segment Test Segment Where Failure Occurred
1 Unmask Channel 0, send interrogation and wait for the tunnel reply.
2 Set Maintenance Busy bit to 0. This may not cause an alarm.
3 Set up a permanent path, via test depth, towards own OBCI.
4 Set MB and Alarm Shutoff bits to 1 and check them.
5 Set up a temporary path towards the permanent path, via maintenance selects. The
permanent path should be released. An alarm is not generated.
6 Set MB and AS bits to 0 and check them.
7 Set MB bit to 1 and AS bit to 0, and check them.
8 Try to set up a path via normal selects. This should be rejected.
9 Set MB and AS bits to 0 and check them.
10 Set up temporary path (with interrogations included), via test depth, towards own OBCI.
Check the contents of the received packet.
11 Tunnel test. Check all depths of the tunnel, via a temporary path, with interrogations.
12 TDM bus test using interrogation.
13 TDM bus test using test packets.
14 Set up permanent path via test depth, towards own OBCI, with test pattern attached.
15 Try to set up a temporary path towards the permanent path. This should be rejected.
16 Try to set up a temporary path towards the permanent path, using maintenance selects.
The AS bit is 0, so an alarm should be generated.

(See Table 12)
Table 10: Test Results Format for N7
A successful job result is accompanied by the Test Segment and Test Fault
Type values shown in the above table. This means that the tests executed.
The results of the individual tests performed is indicated by the Test Raw Data
information. If all these bytes have the value H’FF, there are no failures.
In the example in the above table, some bytes do not have the value H’FF. This
information is decoded using Table 12.
The following table shows the decode of the example Test Raw Data information
in Table 10.
An unsuccessful job result means that the tests did not execute. In this case, all
the Test Raw Data information is set to the default value of H’00.
Test Raw Data Byte 0 H’12 18 messages sent
Test Raw Data Byte 1 H’01 1 message is faulty
Test Raw Data Byte 2 H’00 Messages 1 and 2 are OK
Test Raw Data Byte 4 H’40 Message 5 failed (wrong length), 6 is OK
