Starting and Stopping Test Calls

The following procedure describes how to start, stop, and restart test calls.

To start, stop, and restart a test call:
1. In the Test Call table, select the required test call entry; the Actions button appears
above the table.
2. From the Actions drop-down list, choose the required command:
•
Dial: starts the test call (this action is applicable only if the test call party is the
caller).
•
Drop Call: stops the test call.
•
Restart: ends all established calls and then starts the test call session again.
The status of the test call is displayed in the 'Test Status' field of the Test Call table:

"Idle": test call is not active.

"Scheduled": test call is planned to run (according to 'Schedule Interval' parameter
settings)

"Running": test call has been started (i.e., the Dial command was clicked)

"Receiving": test call has been automatically activated by calls received for the test
call endpoint from the remote endpoint (when all these calls end, the status returns to
"Idle")

"Terminating": test call is in the process of terminating the currently established calls
(this occurs if the Drop Call command is clicked to stop the test)

"Done": test call has been successfully completed (or was prematurely stopped by
clicking the Drop Call command)
A more detailed description of this field is displayed below the table when you click the
Show/Hide button (see ''Viewing Test Call Statistics'' on page 696).
