The Route Verification Test Group object is a child of the Route Verification Tests object.
Each Route Verification Test Group allows you to set default parameter values for a group of trunk and/or subscriber route verification tests. This means that, for each individual test in the group, you simply need to set up a small number of parameters specific to each test (such as the telephone number to be tested). You can also modify the other parameters in the test if you need them to be different from the parent test group, but there is no need to do this if you simply want to use the defaults set up in the parent test group.
If you have filled in the Expected result fields on one or more tests in this group, to specify the results that you expect to get when running each test, the operational status symbol next to the Route Verification Test Group object in the EMS Tree View provides a quick view of whether the last run of the tests was as expected:
![]() |
You can change the values of parameters in this object at any time. However, if a child Route Verification Test is running, and you change a parameter that could affect the results of the test, the test is canceled. |
Object-Specific Actions | |
Run all tests | To run all the Trunk Route Verification Tests and Subscriber Route Verification Tests that are children of this Test Group, click on the 'Run all tests' pushbutton. Note that this action is not available when the object is disabled. |
Cancel all tests | To cancel the currently running test and abandon any other tests in the group that have not yet been run, click on the 'Cancel all tests' pushbutton. Note that this action is not available when no tests are running. |
