Continuity tests are used to make sure that the SS7 ISUP interface circuit groups (CIC) are aligned with the physical links (E1/T1) properly. Toolpack version 2.7 allows users of the TMG to do ISUP Continuity Testing via 3 methods by CIC Group or individual CIC:

Incoming Continuity Testing Outside A Call
This circuit testing occurs when one of the nodes wants to validate a currently idle circuit. It is recommended that the switch first blocks the circuit to prevent calls to use the circuit during the testing. A successful COT Test Callflow is as below: For ITU:
Peer SP TMG
CCR - - - - - - - - - - ->
Check tone - - - - - - - - - - -|
- - - - - - - - - -
REL - - - - - - - - - - ->
< -- - - - - - - - - - RLC
For ANSI:

Check tone - - - - - - - - - - -|
- - - - - - - - - -
REL - - - - - - - - - - ->
< -- - - - - - - - - - RLC
Incoming Continuity Testing Within A Call
This circuit testing occurs when the forward side (originating side) sets the ‘continuity test required’ field of the ‘nature of connection indicators’ IE into the IAM message. A successful Test Callflow is as below:
Peer SP TMG
IAM - - - - - - - - - - ->

Outgoing Continuity Testing
Users of the TMG unit can generate out of call SS7 ISUP Continuity Tests via webportal easily. A successful Test Callflow is as below:
Peer SP TMG
