In IMS Nodal test case, the Ml interface allows testing of the GMLC Mx. Ml Interface is the reference Point between a E-CSCF and GMLC, LRF and it is used to exchange necessary information for routing request to an emergency center.
Tcl Parameter: SipECSCFAddr
Host: Depending on whether the node emulates originating or destination point, Host identifies the endpoint that originated the Diameter message or the Diameter Identity of the destination host.
Tcl Parameter: EcscfNodeHost
Port: Enter Port.
Tcl Parameter: EcscfNodePort
UTRAN Cell ID: Enter UTRAN Cell ID. Regular Expression (RE) can be applied in hexadecimal format ( Example: 23451#(N0xD0FCE11:7)). TDF and RE can be combined.
Tcl Parameter: EcscfNodeUtranCellId
Visited Network ID: Enter Network ID.
Tcl Parameter: EcscfNodeVisitedNtwId
Apply Test Data File to E-CSCF: Select to add a TDF file (E-CSCF Cell ID).
Tcl Parameter: EcscfNodeCfgFileEn
Tcl Parameter: EcscfNodeCfgFile
With an Ethernet User Node, you can define:
The IP address and routing options... The IP Address will increment for each node.
The MAC Address to override the Hardware MAC address so the packets sent out of the interface will use the provisioned MAC address rather the Hardware MAC Address.
Custom port selection... and error injection with the Advanced... button.
Select default routing that were configured for the test server.
Select the Next Hop IP Address instead of using the test server's default route.
The Outbound Traffic Port to disable the normal routing function and to force packets out of the selected interface.
