The Xn-AP interface provides an interface for connecting one gNB Node to another gNb Node in NG-RAN.
The Xn-AP tab is available in gNB CU Node Test Cases.
Measurements collected for Xn-AP session related processing are reported on the Xn-AP Session measurement tab.
Select the proprietary version of the application from the dropdown list. Available in gNB CU Node test case. "Xn", when enabled, will be started either at a starting of a test session or at the processing of F1 Setup request. Message sequence and required content are listed in 3GPP 38.423 session 8.4.1 , 11.1. Options: 17.2.0/Sep2022, 16.6.0/July2021 Default: 17.2.0/Sep2022 Tcl Parameter: XnapVersion |

Initiate Connection |
Select to indicate whether this Xn-AP is required to initiate a connection to remote SUT. Tcl Parameter: XnapInitConnectionEn |
Enable Full-Mesh Xn Connection |
Available in gNB CU Node test case. This check box is for instructing landslide to prepare enough resources for supporting multiple connections between local and remote devices. The check is functioned as follows: When unchecked (default behavior), each local “Xn” node will set up one (and only one) “Xn” connection (incoming or outgoing) with one remote “Xn” node (aka. 1-to-1 connection model). Each local node will be assigned with 1 remote “Xn” node taken from a configured SUT list. SUT addresses are taken in order from first to last in a SUT list; and repeated as needed to ensure each local node has one SUT address. For instance, local node#1 is assigned to SUT#1, local node#2 is assigned to SUT#2, so on. When checked and combined with the “Initiate Connection” checked, every local emulated “Xn” node will be assigned with all provisioned SUT addresses and will attempt to connect to all SUTs.

Reset |
Select for gNB-CU initiated Reset procedure for NR Stand-Alone. Per O-RAN.WG5.C.1-v07.00.docx section 4.2.2.3. Select to "Include UE X1-AP ID" . Options : RAN NODE1 Xn-AP ID (default), RAN NODE2 Xn-AP ID, Both Available when SA Mode = 3GPP and Xn Interface are enabled on the gNB CU node test case. Tcl Parameter: XnapResetOption |
