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.

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. the duration of one call, from call setup to call normal release. (apply only to call by call) the time between two calls, from the previous call disconnection to the beginning of the next call.
The interval between the exceptional end of a call drop

Calling duration: Call interval:

Exceptional Interval Count Mode:

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.
