Company: System Technician 2

• Some analogue lines would constantly go down without notice, so I was tasked to find a no-cost solution for this problem.  There are devices which can do this quite easily, however they are not cost efficient for 50 sites, so I did a good deal of research, and this is what I came up with.
• For the test calls, you need a number that people will not be calling, as you must create a dial plan for it on the voice router and force it out the FXO port(s).  For a second port I just added a 1 to the front, which POTS would still accept for connecting a call.  Otherwise, the red text shows the variables you have to enter that are specific to the site/router.
