Set Test Plan for UE
1. Voice call
Suggestion: When testing voice call, do not perform PS dialup on the Modem of the outgoing UE manually.
Otherwise, voice call maybe hangs up abnormally.
The UE that is performing PS services can serve as an incoming UE for Voice Call
or Video Phone test. Thus, the CS and PS concurrent test can be performed on the same UE.
31
www.huawei.com
31
Parameters for Voice Call:
Call type
Continuous Call: The call continues if it does not fail, drop, or hang up. If the call fails, drops,
or hangs up, Probe waits for a call interval to originate another call.
Call by Call: call: The call lasts and waits for the predetermined calling duration and call
interval, and repeats for the times defined in call count.
Setup time: the maximum time for call setup. If the call cannot be setup within the defined period,
the call setup fails.
Calling duration: the duration of one call, from call setup to call normal release. (apply only to
call by call)
Call interval: the time between two calls, from the previous call disconnection to the beginning of
the next call.
Exceptional Interval The interval between the exceptional end of a call drop and the
beginning of the next call.
Count Mode: the limitations on the call number -> Finite / Infinite.

2. Ftp Upload / Ftp Download
Note: PS connection can be set up by one FTP Download test item if correct APN has
been set in UE.
33
www.huawei.com
33
Parameters for Ftp Download / Ftp Upload :
User, Password: FTP user name and password. For anonymous login, also need to input
anonymous as username.
Remote File: Destination file address, input the detailed download path, such as,
ftp://10.0.0.1/download/1.dat
Local File: Local path to save the download file, such as, C:\1.dat
MultiTask Count: When we use multi-threading download, set the number of threads here.
Test Interval (sec): The time interval between multi downloads. After finishing a download, wait
for several time, then start another download test.
FTP Count: the total number of ftp download test.
34
www.huawei.com
34
Parameters for Ftp Download / Ftp Upload:
Disconnection Mode: the mode of Disconnection, there are three choices:
Keep Disconnected: Do not perform PDP context deactivation ( remain RRC connection) after
the target files are loaded completely, just wait for interval time then continue next ftp download
test.
Disconnect By Time: Perform PDP context deactivation periodically. The period for the PDP
context deactivation is represented by the Valid FTP Duration parameter. If the target files are
not loaded completely within the predefined time, the loading result shows timeout. Probe
considers this loading as failure and initiates another PDP context deactivation in the next
loading.
Disconnect After Transfer Complete: Each time when the file load is complete, PDP
context deactivation would be performed.
FTP QoS : Indicates the type of the traffic as:

Background class
Conversational class
Interactive class
Streaming class
Subscribed class

FTP Upload:
Parameters are the same with FTP downloads. Probe will upload the local file to the
destination path automatically.
**Make sure you have the authority to upload file before test.

About APN, QoS Setting
If leave APN, QoS parameters blank
Probe wont send the associated command to the UE if the parameters mentioned above is not set,
that is the UEs default setting will be maintained.
Methods for setting APN, QoS and their correlationship
1) Set by AT command in MODEM initial command
2) Set by Probe in Test Plan
When both Probe and MODEM have APN and QoS information, because AT command in MODEM initial
command is send to UE more closely before PS connection setup, it will replace the information send to UE
by Probe. That is Probes setting doesnt work if AT command also exists in the MODEM initial command.
