Subscriber Route Verification Test

The Subscriber Route Verification Test object is a child of an RVT Test Group object.

Each Subscriber Route Verification Test simulates the validation and routing of a call initiated by a local subscriber dialing a number.

Most of the modifiable fields in this object are also included in the parent RVT Test Group object, and the default values are taken from the settings in the parent object. You do not need to set these fields explicitly unless you want to use different values from those in the parent RVT Test Group. The only parameters that you need to set are the parameters specific to a particular test, such as the telephone number to be tested.

The Test result field and subsequent fields, which report the outcome of the test, are valid only after the test has been run. To run the test, click on the 'Run test' pushbutton.

The Expected result fields allow you to specify the results that you expect to get when running this test. If you configure an expected result, the operational status symbol next to this object in the EMS Tree View provides a quick view of whether the last run of the test was as expected:

Object-Specific Actions
