Whether or not the provisioning of a given BRI is properly administered is determined by providing a collection of processes which exercise the known n etwork provided supplementary services in a predetermined fashion. Specifically, a predetermined, i.e., algorithmic, process is employed to examine an administration database to determine which DSLs are to support supplementary services and, then, the process invo kes a plurality of processes which attempt to activate the expected supplementary service. T he basic mode of operation is to generate a connectivity context in which the supplementar y service can be invoked and, then, cause the service to be invoked. ISDN messages are transm itted to the network over the D channel of the given BRI both to establish the service co ntext and, then, to invoke the supplemental service. By analyzing the processes and ISDN mess ages the system can determine if the desired supplementary services are available, an d the results of the analysis are recorded and made available to an operator.
