What do you mean by "line is OK"?

And you assume noone else calls in at the time?

For a basic test that the line works, try TestClient and TestServer .
Originate a call from testclient (and set there the number. And set all
incoming calls temporarily to go to TestServer (did I mention the
assumption that noone calls in?)
One relatively cheap method of "temporary" is through setting a global
variable to a non-standard value. This means that the non-default value
will never last after a reload. And you can set the global even through
'core set global VARNAME VALUE' in the CLI.
Check the resulting reports in /var/lib/asterisk/testresults . Make sure
all of them were generated, and that none "FAIL"-ed.
