If dial tone is present, dial a working outside number. Verify that the

call is complete.

Check Error Log for messages pertaining to loop-start trunks.

If “no loop current on incoming call” is displayed, no loop current

was detected on an incoming call. The CP detected ringing, but not

loop current when it closed the loop. In this case, the CO facility is
probably good, but either the current sensor on the CP is faulty or

the CO battery circuit is faulty.

Switch trunk ports, and see if the problem moves to the new loop-
s t a r t t r u n k .

If the problem does not move, the loop-start CP is faulty and must
b e r e p l a c e d .

If the problem moves, the fault is with the CO. Notify CO personnel

through the proper channels.
