Testing SIP Signaling Calls

A simulated endpoint can be configured on the device to test SIP signaling of calls between
it and a remote destination. This feature is useful in that it can remotely verify SIP message
flow without involving the remote end side in the debug process. The SIP test call
simulates the SIP signaling process - call setup, SIP 1xx responses, through to completing
the SIP transaction with a 200 OK.
The test call sends Syslog messages to a Syslog server, showing the SIP message flow,
tone signals (e.g., DTMF), termination reasons, as well as voice quality statistics and
thresholds (e.g., MOS).

Configuring Test Call Endpoints

The Test Call Rules table lets you test SIP signaling (setup and registration) and media
(DTMF signals) of calls between a simulated phone on the device and a remote IP
endpoint. These tests involve both incoming and outgoing calls, where the test endpoint
can be configured as the caller or called party. Test calls can be dialed automatically at a
user-defined interval and/or manually when required. The simulated phone and remote
endpoints are defined as SIP URIs (user@host) and the remote endpoint can be defined
as an IP Group, IP address, or according to a Tel-to-IP routing rule. You can also enable
automatic registration of the endpoint.
When a SIP test call is initiated, the device generates a SIP INVITE towards the remote
endpoint (e.g., a SIP proxy server or softswitch). It simulates the SIP call setup process,
managing SIP 1xx responses and completing the SIP transaction with a 200 OK.

The following procedure describes how to configure test calls through the Web interface.
You can also configure it through ini file (Test_Call) or CLI (configure troubleshoot > test-
call test-call-table).

To configure a test call:
1. Open the Test Call Rules table (Troubleshooting tab > Troubleshooting menu >
Test Call folder > Test Call Rules).
Version 7.2
By default, you can configure up to five test calls. However, this number can
