Monitor and troubleshoot all aspects of the UMTS Radio Access Network (Iu, Iub and Iur interfaces).
Page 7 of 16 Monitor Tool Viewing Messages The main traffic overview display shows (chronologically) every message captured for each signaling link. This overview display shows one line of essential information for each message. The type a nd format of information is displayed in columns and is controlle d by the user.
Page 8 of 16 Call Trace Tool Call Trace Overview The graphical call trace application trac es calls (or message sequences) across all links and groups the messages together. It is therefore a very powerful facility for troubleshooting, particularly since it operates in both real- time and post- capture modes.
Page 9 of 16 Statistics Tool Graphical Statistics User-definable graphical statisti cs are available in real-time or postcapture modes. There are several SS7 message transfer p art (MTP) statistics, as well a s user part specific stat istics (e.g., message types or release causes).
Page 10 of 16 Call-based Statistics The most advanced statistics features involve using the call trace application to evaluate call based statistics such as call completion ratio, min/m ean/max call setup times, and min/mean/max call durations.
Page 11 of 16 EmuLite Emulation is the ability to d efine and send signaling messages in a predefined sequence to a unit under test an d respond to received messages. Traditional emulation tools require complex programs to be written to perform even the simplest of tasks.
Page 12 of 16 Graphical Sequence Editor Tests are configured using ‘drag and drop ’ icons such as arrows, branches and timers. These automatically generate test scripts - - a time- c onsuming and complicated task if programmed manually. More time ca n therefore be spent diagnosing signaling problems without th e need for programming.
