ATIS 0300017

This document provides a set of recommended Interconnection Tests between telecommunications service providers and customers to assure that the SS7 interconnection can be used to support ISDN Basic Rate services. These tests are performed on a bilateral agreement between the interconnected network providers. The tests are divided into two categories, which are Test Set Generated (TSG) and Call Through. TSG tests require the capability to direct ISUP messages toward the network interface under test and to send and detect tones on interconnected trunks. Call through tests can be executed by manual calling in conjunction with monitoring of SS7 links. Where applicable, this document may address NGN aspects.
