Is there a Digital line tester?

[new1to]

Has anyone seen a buttsett or other gadget that allows you to test a digital line? Currently we snag a digital set and punch it down on the block to test. I wish there was a simple way to test, just like it is for analog lines.

Yes, there is a piece of equipment called an LA 85 Port Tester. Its a small handheld tester. There is a comcode for it, but I don't know if the comcode is still good. You could call Avaya and see.
Comcode 105138424

The do have a buttset that works with digital. An easier way is to use your analog butt set and listen for the clicking noise that a digit line puts off.

I just checked with Harris and they do not have anything for PBX digital lines. I wonder if anyone has fabricated something that just indicates a digital line is assigned to that pair, you know, a little indicator sort of like testing voltage. A friend told me to plug my test set in--and if nothing heard--then use the tone generator switched on continuity --- if there is a complete digital connection--it will light up the led.

I'll try to find a newer comcode for the LA 85 Digital port tester. It is actually stated as part of troubleshooting in the Definity Wireless System. Helps with troubleshooting CAUs and WFBs.

found one and talked to the company reps--this is what I think we are looking for----at least it is what I am looking for.
