# Test Call Placement

This procedure describes how to test the call placement function after it has been configured. Prerequisites for this procedure are:

- All appropriate hardware has been installed.

- Telephone lines have been installed.

To test call placement:

1. If you have not already done so, obtain a System Configuration Report. Refer to the report as needed for configuration parameter settings.

2. Create a test mailbox for originating Call Placement messages. You will need another telephone (not the one associated with the originating mailbox) to simulate an off-server telephone number. The originating mailbox should include feature bit 110 in its FCOS so it can make messages to a telephone number, as well as the standard feature bits in, for example, FCOS 1.

3. Log into the sending mailbox and place a call to the simulated off-server telephone number (the receiving telephone), then hang up.

4. Verify that the call was placed. Check the Event Log file to determine if the correct digits are being dialed. (For more information about Event Recorder, see the Troubleshooting section of the NuPoint UM Technician's Handbook.)

5. Accept and answer the call placement message from the simulated off-server telephone.

6. Log into the sending mailbox and verify that there is one unplayed message. This unplayed message should be the answer you made in the preceding step to the call placement message.

7. Play the message, then delete it.
