UE VoIP Groups


In VoLTE testing, the UE VoIP Groups Tab is used by the IP Application Node test case to provide a means for grouping UEs to communicate with two or more P-CSCFs. Available for Remote IMS Node when # of Node Parameter is greater than 2. Use the Gui UE Groups table or a Test Data file for UE P-CSCF Distribution.

UE Groups that will use alternate remote P-CSCF's

 

 


UE Groups

Enter Number of UR Groups that will use alternate remote P-CSCF's. Available for Remote IMS Node when # of Node Parameter is greater than 2.

A table becomes available to define UEs in group, P-CSCF Address and P-CSCF Port.

Range: 0 to 20

Default: 0

Tcl Parameter: UePcscfGroupCount

UE Groups table

Enter UEs in Group, P-CSCF Address and P-CSCF Port for the Number of UE Groups.

Use the table to define which UEs are assigned to a P-CSCF. If a UE is not assigned in the table, it will use the default P-CSCF.

Tcl Parameter: UePcscfGroup_1

Use Test Data File for UE P-CSCF Distribution

Select to Use a Test Data File for UE P-CSCF Distribution. When enable the UE groups Gui table is disabled.

TDF fields P-CSCF IP Address, P-CSCF Port used forUE to P-CSCF Assignment. If a UE is not assigned, it will use the default P-CSCF.

See Test Data Files for further explanation and sample files. If a sample is not found for the specific TDF, you can obtain a sample file from your Technical Support representative. You may also use the following options to select an existing TDF or create/edit TDF-CSV files (TDF-CSV Editor). 

For most TDF Parameters used for Applying Parameters, each row in the file is the overridden value for a different “Session”, aka a different UE. But some TDFs are done in other dimensions, like Bearers, eNodeBs, Subscribers (2 per UE sometimes) or even Hosts, etc. Tooltips on the TDF Parameter: 

Note that the “ID” is a unique ID. Please Provide the ID when reporting issues with a TDF. For TDFs that do not apply / override Parameters, but instead are just their own configuration or data or media files you won’t see TDF ID row details.

TIP: When including large files, please be aware of memory limitations, since the TDF Editor shares memory with the Client.

NOTE: The available TDF options vary. on the L3-7 | IPSec tab > IKE with RSA Settings you may only select the Certificate TDF from TAS (these are non-CSV TDFs).

In addition, where applicable, any rules for defining TDFs are included in specific Test Cases. (For example, In MME Node test case, see MME Node - Provisioning TDF.)

From the DMF Window, press Shift+Alt+A to display the  Save DMF as Tcl window. Click the Save to File button to save as Tcl file. See additional details on Using the Tcl API.

 

Select/Create a new TDF-CSV

Allows you to create a new TDF by entering a file name that doesn’t already exist or select an existing file by entering a file name that already exists.

Click to open the Select Existing or Create window.

  • Navigate to the relevant library/folder,

  • Enter the name of the file:

  • If the file name already exists, the file is selected and applied in the test case.

  • If the file name does not exist, a message displays that says you are creating a new TDF and the embedded TDF-CSV will be launched.

    • Click Yes to launch the TDF-CSV Editor and create/save the new TDF-CSV.

    • Click No to select a different file

NOTE: If you do not have permission to save in the selected library, an error displays when you try to create a new file.
TIP: You may also navigate to the relevant library/folder and select file, and click OK.

 

Upload a New TDF to TAS

Click to import a new TDF file from your local folder and select in the test Case (instead of having to go to TDF Admin).

  • Navigate to the file on your local folder and select.
  • Then navigate to the location (library) where you want to save it on the TAS. You may rename the file, if required.  

View Edit Selected TDF in TDF-CSV Editor

Available only when you have selected a TDF on TAS. Click to open the selected file in TDF-CSV Editor (in place, that is, within the Test Case).

Edit the file and save. You may also click Save As to save the edited TDF-CSV to a different library and also rename the file, if required.

NOTE: You may also select a TDF from a library to which you do not have write permissions, edit the file as required, and save (Save As) only to a different library with the same file name or a different name.

The only options available are Save As and Cancel.

Open Selected TDF in Standalone TDF-CSV Editor

Available only when you have selected a TDF on TAS. Select to retrieve the CSV file and open it in the stand alone TDF-CSV Editor.

Generate Stub TDF-CSV

TIP: Available only when a CSV specification has been defined for in the Test Case for the TDF widget ( View TDF Actions/Options Menu)

 

Opens an example context specific test data parametersexample context specific test data parameters, which you may save as a .CSV file or open in the TDF-CSV Editor.

 

Launch Standalone TDF-CSV Editor

Click to open a blank TDF-CSV Editor.

The Launch Standalone TDF-CSV editor options handles very large TDFs that may use too much Client memory if opened within the Test Case/in the embedded editor.  You may set the standalone TDF-CSV Editor memory high to edit large TDFs.
