1.1 What Is Test Management

Test management refers to testing the specified objects in the network element system to
ensure normal and stable system operations.
1. In routine maintenance
Users can check physical devices and communication links by setting test tasks.
If test results indicate signs of faults, users should take precautions to avoid such
faults.
2. When a failure occurs
Users can do instant tests to find out probable causes and solve the problem as soon
as possible.
3. After a failure is eliminated
Users can also use testing tools to check whether the equipment is back to normal
and whether the entire system operates properly.
1.2 Test Management Principle

Figure 1-1 illustrates the principle of test management.
Figure 1-1 Test Management Principle
In this figure, test management involves the NMS and NE.

l NMS
Users can create test management tasks on the NMS. The system will generate test
management commands according to the set parameters.
1-1

ZXUR 9000 GSM Test Management Operation Guide
When it is the time to carry out a task, the system will send the corresponding test
commands to the NE.
l NE
The NE executes the test commands, and generates test results that are fed back to
the NMS for future query.
1.3 Test Management Types

Test management falls into two types: instant test management and test task management.
1. Instant test management
Instant test management allows users to immediately test the objects selected at a
client end and check the test results.
2. Test task management
Test task management allows users to select the test objects and items, and preset
test time. When the test time comes, the test system sends a test command from the
EMS to network elements where the preset test objects and items are tested. The
test system saves the test results on the network management server automatically
for future query. This method is suitable for the case where nobody is on site or at
night when traffic volume is low.
The system saves test results automatically for both instant test management and test task
management. Users can query the test results as required at any time.
In routine maintenance, users can test physical devices and communication links through
routine tests. If the test result is very close to the abnormal condition, pay attention to the
condition and try to find possible problems before any failure occurs. Actions should be
taken as required to avoid failure.
If a failure occurs in the system, an instant test can help users to find and eliminate the
failure as soon as possible.
After the failure is eliminated, users can also use the test management to check whether
the device is back to normal and whether the entire system operates properly.
1.4 Test Types

By test object, there are 21 types of diagnostic tests:
1. Rack test
The rack test is done to check whether modules in the rack operates properly.
2. Board test
The board test is done to check whether the board is in position and check the board
startup time, Ethernet link, board HW link, RS-485 link, chip, port, and active/standby
boards.
3. SDH insert alarm test
1-2

Chapter 1 Overview
The SDH insert alarm test is done to check whether the board alarm codes and alarm
error codes are inserted or got correctly.
4. SDH get alarm test
The SDH get alarm test is done to check the board alarm state.
5. SDH get config test
The SDH get config test is done to check whether the SDH configuration value is got
correctly.
6. Query loop test
The query loop test is done to check whether the loop query function at each interface
of a board can be enabled properly.
7. Set loop test
The set loop test is done to check whether the loop setting at each interface of a board
is correct.
8. SSCOP PING test
9. PRBS loop test
The PRBS loop test is done to check the bit error rate of PRBS of a board.
10. Test cancel
The test cancel is done to cancel test management tasks.
11. Media communication test
The media communication test is done to check whether the media stream
communication between two boards within an NE is proper.
12. RAW channel communication test
The RAW channel communication test is done to check whether the communication
of RAW channel between boards is proper.
13. Control communication test
The control communication test is a link test between the OMM and peripheral boards,
between two peripheral boards, or between the active board and the standby board.
14. Check trunk loop test
The check trunk loop test is done to check the trunk loop delay of the E1 electrical
interface, E1 optical interface, T1 electrical interface, and T1 optical interface of the
target board.
15. PVC loop test
16. PD detection test
The PD detection test is done to check whether the IP path is proper.
17. PD test cancel
The PD test cancel is done to cancel the IP path test.
1-3

18. 802.1AG/Y.1731 test

The 802.1AG/Y.1731 test is done to check whether the function of 802.1AG/Y.1731 is
proper.
19. 802.1AG/Y.1731 test cancel
The 802.1AG/Y.1731 test cancel is done to cancel tasks of 802.1AG/Y.1731.
20. 802.1AG/Y.1731 query test
The 802.1AG/Y.1731 query test is done to query the 802.1AG/Y.1731 test.
21. Sensor query test
The sensor query test is done to check whether the fan module and other modules in
a shelf operate properly, whether the temperature, voltage, and power of each board
is proper, and whether the batteries are proper.

2.1 Instant Test Management Overview

This chapter describes how to do instant tests and explains the related parameters.
An instant test is a test that users can start at any time.
During the test, users can test any object on the object tree in the left pane. The test object
must be locked to the CPU node under a specific board in an NE.
After the test completes, the system immediately displays the results. Users can also
query the test results after defining query conditions.

3.1 Overview
Test tasks are the tasks carried out automatically and periodically according to the
user-specified test items and period. Such tests are designed for routine maintenance to
reduce the workload without the need of one-by-one tests.
In a test task, the result is not displayed immediately after the test completes. Instead, the
test results are saved in the database. You can query the results as needed.
Caution!
Do not carry out a test task in busy hours because this can overload the NE. High loads
will reduce system reliability and service success rate.
3.2 Creating a Test Task

This section describes how to create a test task.
After a test task is created, the system will carry out the test task automatically according
to the set period and test items.
Prerequisite
