Command Mode

Command mode Test Activity allows you to control and dynamically alter the UE’s mobility procedure or next data transmission during test execution. The command mode test case, also allows you to have manual or automated control of the mobile subscriber's actions. You may specify the operation to be performed on a specific mobile subscriber, the type of events to execute (example, Attach, Detach, Handover, Add Bearers/contexts, Delete Bearer/Contexts, etc.), and the timing of the event during test execution.

Landslide 10.8 supports Command mode in GGSN Nodal, MME Nodal, SGW Nodal, PGW Nodal, UMTS Nodal, and PCRF Node testing.
