1 Scope
The present document contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) as well as the Abstract Test Method (ATM) and the
partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for the Network layer (NWK) of the
V5.1 interface and parts of the system management of the Access Network (AN) side of a V5.1 interface.
The objective of the present document is to provide an ATS containing conformance tests which give a high probability
of inter-operability of an AN and a Local Exchange (LE) from different manufacturers over the V5.1 interface.
ISO/IEC 9646-1 [5] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [6] are used as the basis for the test methodology. The ATS is defined using
the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) according to ISO/IEC 9646-3 [7].
The ATS in annex A describes a set of Test Cases (TCs) which are based on the Test Purposes (TPs) specified in
EN 300 324-3 [3]. The TCs provide the implementation of the TPs and can be converted into an executable test suite by
using available TTCN translators and the corresponding tools.
Annex B provides the partial PIXIT proforma.

4 Abstract test method
This clause describes the Abstract Test Method (ATM) and the Point of Control and Observation (PCO) used to test the
NWK of the V5.1 protocol for the AN components.
4.1 ATM
Principally, the remote test method is used for V5.1 AN NWK conformance testing. Certain V5.1 AN NWK TPs need
also part of the service and national functions. Therefore, the embedded variant of the remote test method is applied.
The national dependant information is defined in the PIXIT.
NOTE: The multi-party testing ATM (MPyT) (ISO/IEC 9646-2 [6], clause 12.7, was also considered for this
ATS. But as the interfaces on the user port side may be implemented on national specific standards the
MPyT ATM was not applicable for this ATS. To solve this need for operations on the user port interfaces,
terminals will be connected to the user ports. All necessary functions which would have been provided by
a lower tester connected to the user ports can be achieved by manual operations on the connected
terminal.
4.2 NWK protocol testing
The V5.1 implementations do not offer a direct access to the upper service boundary. The remote test method was
chosen because any co-ordination procedures can only be expressed in an informal way.

LT1: A Lower Tester (LT1) is located in a remote V5.1 test system. It controls and observes the
behaviours of the IUT.
DSAP: A unique Data link Service Access Point (DSAP) is defined at the V5.1 interface and commonly
used for exchanging service data of the different Network layer protocol functional entities: PSTN,
Control protocols.
PCO: The PCO for NWK testing is located on the DSAP. All test events at the PCO are specified in
terms of data link Abstract Service Primitives (ASPs) and network layer PDUs.

SIST EN 300 324-4 V3.1.1:2005
10 ETSI EN 300 324-4 V3.1.1 (2001-03)
UT: No explicit Upper Tester (UT) exists in the test system. However, the SUT needs to carry out some
UL functions to achieve some effects of test co-ordination procedures. Designing ATS, the
capability of the system management functions, such as controls of the IUT, its interactions with
the Q interface may be taken into account. The controls of the IUT will be implied or informally
expressed in the ATS, but no assumption shall be made regarding their feasibility or realization.
An example of such controls could be to provoke restarting of the IUT through the Q interface.
V5-NWK: To test the PSTN and ISDN-BA protocols, a simulator shall be attached to relevant User Port
(UP).
4.3 Data link addresses
Within the DSAP, different V5DLaddr are used to identify each corresponding data link connection. Each network
layer protocol functional entity can have only one data link connection, e.g. all PSTN signalling information shares one
data link connection.
Table 1 shows the allocated V5DLaddr used by protocol function entities.
Table 1: V5DLaddr
Protocol PSTN Control
V5DLaddr 8 176 8 177
4.4 Execution of TCs
4.4.1 Handling of error indication
During the execution of the NWK ATS many error indications will be sent to the system management due to the invalid
and the inopportune TCs. It is up to the IUT supplier to take the necessary precautions to avoid any impact on the test
result.
4.4.2 TC execution sequence
The following test sequence shall be applied:
The TC containing the start-up procedure (TC11__SM_01) shall always be the first TC executed. Also in any case
where the IUT has to be restarted this TC shall be first executed.
Protocol groups: CTRL ⇒ PSTN.
Test groups: IT ⇒ CA ⇒ TI ⇒ BV ⇒ BO ⇒ BI.
Interactions between the different test groups are not considered. It is up to the IUT supplier to take the necessary
precautions to avoid any impact on the test result.
NOTE: This applies in particular to PORT CONTROL messages from ISDN ports while testing PSTN-related
protocols and vice versa.

5 Untestable test purposes
This clause gives a list of TPs which are not implemented in the ATS due to the chosen abstract test method or other
restrictions.
5.1 Control protocol
The test purposes listed in table 2 are not implemented in the ATS due to unknown reaction of the IUT after testing the
TPs or due to the fact they have the same purpose of TC already implemented.

6 Abstract test suite conventions
The ATS conventions are intended to give a better understanding of the ATS but they describe also the conventions
made for the development of the ATS, thus for any later maintenance purposes or further development of the ATS the
conventions described in this clause shall be considered.
The ATS conventions contain two clauses, the naming conventions and the implementation conventions. The naming
conventions describe the structure of the naming of all ATS elements. The implementation conventions describe the
functional structure of the ATS.
NOTE: To define the ATS, the guidelines given in EN 300 406 and ETR 141 were considered.
6.1 Naming conventions
6.1.1 Declaration part
The ID names of the following definitions are written in lowercase:
- structured type definitions;
- ASP type definitions;

The ID names of the following definitions are written in uppercase:
- Test Suite Parameter Declarations;
- Test Case Selection Expression Definitions;
- Test Suite Constant Declarations;
- Test Case Variable Declarations.
ID names of PDUs and structured types commence with a protocol identifier to define which protocol they are
belonging to. The following identifiers are used:
- control protocol: ctrle.g. crtl_common_control_ack;
- PSTN signalling: pstn e.g. pstn_signal_ack.
ID names of PDUs and structured types which are used for invalid tests commence with "bi".
EXAMPLE 1: bi_com_ctrl_two_mety.
Complete names as defined in the specifications are used for ID names of declarations.
EXAMPLE 2: ctrl_control_function_element.
Test suite parameter ID names commence with TSP:
- PICS are identified by adding the letter "C": TSPC_. (e.g.: TSPC_PSTN);
- PIXIT are identified by adding the letter "X": TSPX_. (e.g.: TSPX_PORT_ADDRESS).
If the test suite parameter is representing a system parameter or value, only the parameter name is used.
EXAMPLE 3: MR (receive sequence number in signal message).
Test suite operations commence with TSO.
EXAMPLE 4: TSO_INTEGER_TO_O_1.
Test suite constant ID names commence with TSC.
EXAMPLE 5: TSC_CFE_FE201_2_UNBL.
If the constant is representing a system parameter or value, only the parameter name is used.
EXAMPLE 6: N01.
ID names of timers commence with T. The same names as in the specification are used.
EXAMPLE 7: T01.
6.1.2 Constraint part
Constraint names commence with uppercase. The remaining part of the ID name is written in lowercase.
ID names of elements concerning the same subject have equivalent names in the declaration and the constraint part:
Declaration part: ctrl_control_function_element;
Constraint part: Ctrl_control_function_element.
The name of the modified constraint describes the particularity of the modified constraint.
EXAMPLE: Ctrl_cc_mand_only (common control message which contains only the mandatory IEs).
If formal parameter lists are used, the variable names are written in lowercase. The variable name is the same as the
name of the element it is representing.
