   INTRODUCTION
   
    1.1 INTRODUCTION
   
    The Voice Response System or VRS II provides the man in the field with
   access to 4 TEL, enabling him to make use of the smae facilities available
   to the RSC.

   By means of single pushbutton commands and spoken responses, the faultsman
   is able to perform line test, interactions and other procedures on the
   faulty line.
   
    1.2 USING VRS II
   Access to VRS II requires the use of a handset with MF facilities. By
   dialing the appopriate number and entering a unique ID code, the faultsman
   will be logged into the VSR 11 system.

   By means of a voice synthesiser, VRS II talks to the faultsman, who is
   then able to chose by means of single MF pushbutton commands from a
   menu of options. The complete menu can also be spoken to assist new users,
   whilst allowing more experienced users to progress directly with operating
   the VRS II once they have mastered the simple command structure.

   VRS II can also be used as a completion tool for testing the line
   once repair has been made, and logging it's completion back to the Repair
   Centre.
   
    1.3 USING THIS MANUAL

   This manual has been writen with the new user in mind, following each
   step required to access the VSR II and explaing the commands available to
   the faultsman at each step. Commands are given in the correct sequence,
   and the appropriate voice responses which the faultsman would hear are
   also displayed.

   The convention chosen to represent the communication between the user
   and the VSR II is shown on the righthand side of the page in heavy italic
   print. (it's not actually sorry). An example of this is given below:
   
    Your Action VRS II Response
   
    Key # "Demand test"
   
   "The line is being accessed"
   "The line is being tested"
   
    (Results)
   
   "4 TEL Service Primary Commands"
   "Please enter a Primary Command"
   
    CHAPTER 2
   LOGGING INTO VRS II
   
    2.1 LOGGING IN TO VRS II
   
    To call VRS II, dial the appropriate number:
   
    VRS II will answer with a 3 - level tone. Enter your VRS II Access ID
   code:
   
    N.B. The # must follow the code to complete the entry.
   
    When VRS II recognises the ID code , it will speak an information
   message:
   
    "This is the Teradyne 4Tel system"
   
    If the VRS has NOT been configured for equipment number testing, VSR
   II will proceed directly with Directory Number testing, as desribed in
   paragraph 2.1.1 below.
   
    If however the VRS has been configured for Equipement Number testing,
   VRS will next asks you to choose between a Directory Number test and an

   Equipwment Number test:
   
   "To test a Directory number enter 1"
   "To test an Equipment Number enter 2"
   "Please make a selection"
   
    Choose the test type by entering either a 1 or a 2.
   
    2.1.1 DIRECTORY NUMBER TESTING
   
    If a Directory Number number testing has been selected VRS will ask
   you to enter the exchange prefix of the line number to be tested:
   
   "Enter the appropriate exchange prefix, followed by the terminating #"
   
    VRS will repeat the exchange prefix, and then ask for the line number
   to be tested:
   
    "Please enter a phone number"
   
    VRS II will repest the phone number.
   
    If the VRS has been configured to operate over the 4TEl Data Network,
   VRS will attempt to establish a connection to the SAC via the data
   network, and will say
   
    "Connecting to network, please wait"
   
    The previous message will NOT be spoken if the VRS is not configured
   to operate over the 4Tel Data Network.
   
    For either configuration, when a connection to the SAC has been made
   VRS II will say:
   
    "4TEL service Primary Commands"
   
    "Please enter a Primary Command"
   
    You have now gained access to the full VRS II system and are ready to
   enter the various commands required to test the line.
   
    2.1.2 Equipement Number Testing
   
    If Equipement Number testing has been selected, VRS II will ask you
   to enter the exchange prefix of the line number to be tested.
   
    "Please enter a prefix"
   
    Enter the appropriate exchange prefix, following by the terminating #:
   
    VRS II will repeat the exchange prefix, and then ask for the
   appropriate concentrator ID.
   
    "Please enter concentrator ID"
   
    Enter the appropriate concentrator ID, followed by the terinating #.
   
   Note: If the concetrator ID is not applicable, simply enter the
   terminating #.
   This informs the VRS II that a concentrator ID is not to be used.
   
    VRS II will repeat the concentrator ID (if entered), and then ask for
   the equipement number to be tested:
   
    "Please enter an equipement number"
   
    VRS II will repeat the equipment.
   
    If the VRS has been configured to operate over the 4Tel Data Network,
   VRS will attempt to esablish a connection to the SAC via the data network,
   and will say:
   
    "Connecting to network, please wait"
   
    The previous message will NOT be spoken if the VRS is not configured
   to operate over the 4Tel Data Network.
   
    For either configuration, when connection to the SAC has been made,
   VRS II will say:
   
    "4TEL service Primary Commands"
   
    "Please enter a Primary Command"
   
    You have now gained access to the full VRS II system and are ready to
   enter the various commands required to test the line.
   
    2.2 UNIVERSAL COMMANDS
   
    The meaning of VRS II keyed commands will vary depending on the level
   of testing. however, throughout the time you will be using the VRS II,
   four universal commands will always be available.
   
    * Stop everthing and return VRS II to "Primary Commands"
   
    8 Logoff, which must be used before clearing down VRS II requests
   "Please hang up"
   
    9 Repeat the last test results again.
   
    0 List all valid commands.
   
    2.3 TIMEOUT
   
    If the 8 is not keyed , the VRS II input port will be held busy for
   two minutes whilst waiting for the next command. Option 8, Logff, ensures
   that VRS II is cleared down completely, allowing other user to access the
   system.
   
    CHAPTER 3
   PRIMARY COMMANDS
   
    3.1 PRIMARY COMMANDS
   Having successfully logged in, VRS II will request:
   
    "Please enter a primary command"
   
    As well as the Universal Commands cover int he previous Chapter, you are
    now at the primary level and can input any one of these primary level
    commands:
   
   1 Change Phone Nmber
   2 Extended Test
   7 Completion Test
   8 Hang Up
   9 Repeat Last Results
   0 Help
   # Demand Test
   * Primary Commands
   
   3.2 CHANGE PHONE NUMBER (Key 1)
   Invoking this command causes the system to prompt the user for a new
   line or equipment number. This new number specifies the line which
   subsequent commands will test. After completing this command, the system
   returns to the Primary commands displayed above. Procedures for changing
   the line to to be tested are as follows:
   
    Your Action VRS II Response
   
   Key 1 "Change phone number"
   
    Note: if the VRS has NOT been configured for Equipment testing, the
   VRS will proceed as for a Directory Number selection. If however the VRS
   has been configured for testing the VRS will prompt for a selection
   between Directory Number and Equipement Number testing, as follows:
   
   "To test a Directory Number enter 1"
   "To test an Equipement number enter 2"
   "Please make a selection"
   
    The next sequence of user actions and VRS II responses will depend
   upon the users selection to the last prompt.

   3.2.1 Change to Directory Number
   
    Your Action VRS II Response
   
    Key 1 for Directory Numbers "Pleas enter a prefix"
   
    Enter prefix required Prefix is repeated
   Followed by a # "Please enter a phone number"
   
    Enter the line number to be tested (line number is repeated)
   followed by the terminating #
   
   "4TEL Service Primary Commands"
   "Please enter a Primary Command"
   
    3.2.2 Change to equipment Number
   
    Your Action VRS II Response
   
    Key 2 for Equipment Numbers "Please enter a prefix"
   
    Enter prefix required followed by a #. Prefix is repeated.
   "Please enter a Concentator ID"
   Enter the concentrator Id followed by the terminating # (concentator ID
   is repeated)
   
   Note: If a concentrator ID is not applicable simply enter the
   terminating #
   
   "Pleae enter an Equipment Number"
   
   Enter the equipment number to be (equipment number is repeated) tested
   followed by the terminating #
   
   
   "4TEL Service Primary Commands"
   "Please enter a Primary Command"
   
   
   
   3.3 EXTENDED TEST (Key 2)

   This command is similar to Demand Test except that following the test,
   the user reamians in the Extended test Menu. Full details of the
   options available through Extended Tests are cover in Chapter 5.
   
   The procedure for using the Extended Test Command is as follows:
   
   Your Action VRS II Response
   
   Key 2 "Extended Test"
   
   "The line is being accessed"
   "The line is being tested"
   
    (Results)
   
   "Extended Test"
   "Please enter a command"
   
   
   
   3.4 COMPLETION TEST (Key 7)
