30、5.2 The ISUP signalling protocol can be observed on the SS No. 7 link on the Network-Network Interface (“I). The effects of signalling procedures of the ISDN User Part can be observed on the circuits controlled by the ISUP on the “I. The ISUP implementation will, in some exchanges, have to interwork

31、 with the Access signalling system on the User-Network Interface (UNI) and involve call handling in order to establish end-to-end connections. From the ISUP reference standard several types of exchanges (or roles) can be identified as presented in Figure 2. 8 Recommendation 4.785.2 (03/99) STDgITU-T

34、erminate, and intermediate exchanges, with transit functionality. Local exchanges are national, i.e. belong to a national network. Intermediate exchanges are national or international. The international intermediate exchanges which permit access to the intemational network are the gateway exchanges

35、(incoming and outgoing), also called ISCs - International Switching Centres. A particularity for some supplementary services, e.g. call diversion services, is that a local exchange is not only originator/terminator of the call but also mediator between two far-end local exchanges. The roles of the e

36、xchanges are summarized in Table 1.

The ATM is defined at an appropriate level of abstraction so that the test cases may be specified appropriately, without adding restrictions to the implementation under test. The testing architectures are described in the following subclauses. The ATS is written in concurrent

41、Points of Control and Observation (PCO) are labelled LAB and CAB on one side, and LAC and CAC on the other. The LAB and LAC PCOs are used by the Lower Testers (LT) for controlling the ISUP signalling link, whereas the CAB and CAC PCOs are used by the lower testers for observing circuit related event

42、s, such as connectivity, echo control check, alerting tone, etc. The ISUP PDUs to be sent and observed on the LAB PCO side allow for PDU constraints to be specified and coded down to the bit level. The underlying network service provider is the Message Transfer Part (MTP) protocol as specified in Re

Figure 4 shows the actual used configuration for intermediate exchanges, with a Main Testing Component (MTC), responsible for the A-B interface and a slave Parallel Testing Component (PTC), responsible for the C-A interface. The Test Coordination Procedures (TCP) allow for c

The test components are mostly implicitly coordinated (asynchronously); the TCPs are only used when it is necessary to obtain the verdict from the parallel test component. 10 Recommendation Q.785.2 (03/99) C PTC ISUP signalling, circuits SP c LAC TCP Network service

47、ly ISUP PDUs, if functionality such as connectivity, tones and announcements etc. associated with protocol events is to be considered and used to assign verdicts. The reference standard often refers to actions or events initiated by or to be observed by the calling or called user. A Point of Control

48、 of Observation (PCO) fiom ISUP (IUT) to the access side is needed, e.g. for stimulating the local exchange to originate a call (send an IAM). Another PCO is needed to check connectivity or generated tones by the local exchange. There is no exposed interface fiom ISUP (the IUT) towards the access si

49、de. For practical testing purposes the natural choice is the access interface. It is therefore reasonable to make use of the access interface (e.g. the user access interface DSSl) as a PCO and to use existing naming conventions for the Abstract Service Primitives (ASPS) to be used on this PCO. Figure 5 presents a multi-party testing configuration for local exchanges. In this figure each tester has a single PCO. The PCO for the access uses the underlying access service provider (e.g. LAPD, in case of DSSl) for observing access events and stimulating
