Supplemental Intrusive Testing

Client Self Test provides Wholesale customers with the ability to perform testing on their DS1 circuits. A CEMR-MTG customer with valid CEMR-MTG credentials is able to log in and run a Supplemental Intrusive Test as if CenturyLink were conducting the test via Test Expert. This test can be used if Non-Intrusive test results are inconclusive and it is acceptable to take the circuit out of service. This test cannot be used as a standalone test. This test will provide customers with a pop-up message that reads: “Warning this is an Intrusive Test. The circuit will be taken out of service for the duration of the test.”

Please Note: CEMR-MTG will ensure that a Supplemental Intrusive Test cannot be run if a Non-Intrusive Test is not run first (a Full Test qualifies as a Non-Intrusive Test relative to this rule). CEMR-MTG will check the past 24 hours on the same circuit to ensure a Non-Intrusive Test has been run.

This test will provide extra information after running a Non-Intrusive Test.
