facility test call

[calhoony]

Can you use the facility test call feature to access individual trunks in media gateways that have ISDN PRI trunks? I have the fac set up and my COR is correct but the instructions are to use:

To place a test call to a trunk or touch-tone phone
1. At the system terminal, enable a feature access code forFacility Test Call.Use the command change feature and make an entry in the Facility Test Call field. This will be your Facility Test Call access code.
2. Be sure the object you are testing is not in use.
3. At your phone, dial the feature access code for Facility Test Call. Listen for dial tone.
4. Dial the 6- or 7-digit port address in UUCSSss format, where:
• UU = cabinet number (01, 02, etc.)
• C = carrier number (A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5)
• SS = slot number (depends on system)
• ss = port number (depends on circuit pack)

and in the media-gateway world your carrier numbers are not letters....

It won't work with ISDN PRI's... only super trunks.

Yes it is... goes for any version. Basically you can only use FTC on a TAC dial able trunk. ISDN uses a d channel to setup the call.
