    MAPS™ CAP Emulator (over TDM,ATM, IP)

    (CAMEL Application Part)

    Overview
    GL’s MAPS™ CAP can emulate CAMEL Application Part (CAP ) supplementary services such as unified messaging, prepaid, low balance,
    and toll-free (Freephone). CAMEL services are available in TDM, ATM and IP based GSM, GPRS, UTMS networks. CAP information flow is
    defined between functional entities such as Service Control Function (SCF) and Service Switching Function (SSF) entities. It is suitable for
    controlling telecommunication services. CAP is transported over Message Transfer Protocol (MTP) in TDM ATM and M3UA, M2PA in IP.
    MAPS™ CAP ATM uses SSCOP server for establishing SSCOP links over which IN signaling will be carried further for making calls. SSCOP
    Server is GL's WCS based server module and provides SSCOP, and AAL5 layer services.It uses AAL5 Traffic Generator for traffic
    generation. Various traffic types such as Tone, Digits and File playback are supported.
    The tester supports testing network elements SSF and SCF, error tracking, regression testing, conformance testing, and load testingccall
    generation. It can run pre-defined test scenarios against CAP interface test objects in a controlled and deterministic manner.
    MAPS™ CAP emulator supports powerful utilities such as Message Editor, Script Editor, and Profile Editor which allow new scenarios to
    be created or existing scenarios to be modified using CAP messages and parameters.
    For more information, please visit MAPS™ CAP Protocol Emulator webpage.

    Test Bed Setup Configuration


    Test Bed Setup provides options to establish communication between MAPS™ CAP and the DUT.
    MAPS™ CAMEL TDMcATM includes MTP signaling configuration, Source and Destination Node Point Code, Subsystem Number, and
    End-user configurations.
    MAPS™ CAMEL IP includes SCTP layer parameters configuration to transmit and receive CAP messages over M3UA and M2PA
    transport layers.
    Once the testbed setup is configured properly, CAMEL messages can be transmitted and received over MTP, M3UA, M2PA layers.
    Default profile is used to configure MAPS™ CAP Emulator as end terminals SCF andcor SSF.

    Pre-processing Tools
    Script Editor - The script editor allows the user to createcedit scripts and access protocol fields as variables for the message template
    parameters. The script uses pre-defined message templates to perform send and receive actions.

    Figure: Script Editor


    Message Editor - With message editor, users can build a template for each protocol message type. The value for each field may be
    changed in the message template prior to testing. The protocol fields comprises of mandatory fixed parameters, mandatory variable
    parameters, and optional variable parameters.

    Profile Editor - The profile editor feature allows loading profile to edit the values of the variables using GUI, replacing the original
    value of the variables in the message template.
    An XML file defines a set of multiple profiles with varying parameter values that allow users to configure call instances in call
    generation and to receive calls.

    Call Generation and Call Reception


    In call generation, MAPS™ CAP is configured for the out going messages, while in call receive mode, it is configured to respond to
    incoming messages. Tests can be configured to run once, multiple iterations and continuously. Also, allows users to create multiple
    entries using quick configuration feature.
    The editor allows to run the added scripts sequentially (order in which the scripts are added in the window) or randomly (any script
    from the list of added script as per the call flow requirements).
    The test scripts may be started manually or they can be automatically triggered by incoming messages.

    Command Line Interface


    MAPS™ can be configured as server-side application, to enable remote controlling of the application through multiple command-line
    based clients. Supported clients include TCL, Python, VBScript, Java, and .Net.
    Clients can remotely perform all call control functions various traffic using commands. This client application is distributed along with
    MAPS™ Server application.
