ETSI ETSI EN 301 141-4 V1.1.1 (2002-02) 6 1 Scope The present document contains the Test Suite Structure (TSS) and Test Purposes (TPs) for the Network layer (NWK) of a NMDS interface. The objective of the present document is to provide conformance tests giving a high probability of inter-operability of an Network Termination Node (NTN) and a Local Exchange (LE) from different manufacturers over the NMDS interface. The present document covers only the procedures described in EN 301 141-1 [1]. ISO/IEC 9646-1 [7] is used as the basis for the methodology of conformance testing. Concerning the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) protocol testing, only the procedures defined in EN 301 141-1 [1] are covered by the tests defined in the present document. An Implementation Under Test (IUT), however, will have implemented a national PSTN protocol part as well. This requires that the tester generates messages containing the national PSTN protocol specific optional Information Elements (IEs), otherwise the IUT would not act on messages according to the PSTN protocol procedure definition. However, this does not provide a comprehensive test of the national PSTN protocol mapping specification, which is outside the scope of the present document. As the tests use PSTN messages containing optional IEs according to national specifications, the test result is only valid for the implemented national mapping of the V5.1 PSTN protocol. The present document does not cover tests related to functions of the bearer channel. Those functions should be tested in conjunction with testing of the national PSTN protocol mapping specification. The present document contains no requirements concerning NWK tests for Integrated Services Digital Network Basic Access (ISDN-BA). 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. • References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.

The following PSTN procedures are covered: - all path related normal operation procedures; - significant path related exceptional procedures; - the status enquiry procedure; - the error handling procedures; - the layer 3 error detection procedure. 4.2.1.2 ISDN maintenance protocol All tests in the ISDN protocol (NMDS_NTN/ISDN) test group are intended to verify as thoroughly as possible the various procedures of the NTN_ISDN_protocol entity. The following ISDN procedures are covered: - the status enquiry procedure; - the error handling procedures. 4.2.2 Main test groups 4.2.2.1 Valid Behaviour (V) tests Predefined state transitions are considered as valid. The test purpose in the Valid Behaviour test subgroup cover as far as reasonable the verification of the normal and exceptional procedures of the various FSMs. A valid test is a test where the message sequence and the message contents is considered as valid (no error indication shall be indicated). 4.2.2.2 Inopportune Behaviour (I) tests This test subgroup is intended to verify that the IUT is able to react properly in the case an inopportune protocol event occurring. Such an event is syntactically correct but occurs when it is not expected and an error indication is caused. 4.2.2.3 Syntactically Invalid Behaviour (S) tests This test subgroup is intended to verify that the IUT is able to react properly having received an invalid PDU. An invalid PDU is defined as a syntactically incorrect message and therefore an error indication is caused. 4.2.2.4 Timer (T) expiry and counter mismatch tests Different timers and counters are defined to supervise the various state transitions.

ETSI ETSI EN 301 141-4 V1.1.1 (2002-02) 10 4.3 Test step structure General dynamic behaviours are described in test steps which can be called from all ATCs within the ATS: - state transitions; - preconditions; - preambles; - postambles; - status checks; - common behaviours. 4.3.1 State transitions The following clauses identify the test steps used in the ATS. In general, each test step represents a state transition. For example in the PSTN protocol, PSTN_NTN1_2 is the test step which brings the NTN PSTN_protocol_FSM from PSTN_path_state AN1 to PSTN_path_state AN2. The state transitions are declared in the parenthesis (originating state - destination state) which follow the test step names. PSTN: state transitions used to preamble and postamble the PSTN protocol before and after a test purpose can be performed. To test the NMDS interface certain sequences (i.e. preamble) shall be executed to reach the state which is the subject for the TPs. 4.3.1.1 PSTN protocol Refer to EN 301 141-1 [1] and EN 300 324-1 [8]. All messages sent within the test steps shall be valid PSTN messages. PSTN_AN1_2 On receipt of an originating call attempt (FE-subscriber_seizure) the IUT shall send the message ESTABLISH and enter the PSTN_path_state AN2 (Path initiated by AN). PSTN_AN2_3 On receipt of a FE-subscriber_release, the IUT shall enter the PSTN_path_state AN3. PSTN_AN1_4 On receipt of the event FE-line_information, the IUT shall send the ESTABLISH message and enter the PSTN_path_state AN4. PSTN_AN1_5 On receipt of the ESTABLISH message the IUT shall send the message ESTABLISH ACK and enter the PSTN_path_state AN5 (Path active). PSTN_AN5_7 On receipt of a SIGNAL message containing a faulty sequence number the IUT PSTN protocol shall send a DISCONNECT message and enter the PSTN_path_state AN7. 4.3.2 Preconditions The precondition step of a test group applies at the UP via the user interface as a Permanent Line (PL) condition. This line condition shall be permanent during all tests in that test group. SIST EN 301 141-4 V1.1.1:2005



ETSI ETSI EN 301 141-4 V1.1.1 (2002-02) 11 4.3.3 Preambles The preamble test step group contains the test steps needed for initialization of the IUT before testing the particular test purpose. All combinations of the test steps defined in clause 4.3.1.1 can be used to create preambles. Each preamble shall start from the IUT initial state as defined in clause 5.1.5. 4.3.4 Postambles After each ATC the IUT shall be brought back to the initial state as defined in clause 5.1.5. All combinations of the test steps defined in clauses 4.3.1.2 to 4.3.1.5 can be used to create postambles. 4.3.5 Status verification 4.3.5.1 PSTN protocol Based on EN 301 141-1 [1] and EN 300 324-1 [8], table 29, it is possible to identify the state of the IUT PSTN protocol FSM with valid PSTN messages. On receipt of a STATUS ENQUIRY message the IUT shall send a STATUS message and remain the same state. 4.3.6 Common test steps This test step group shall contain procedures which are used in more than one ATC. 4.4 Defaults The default section describes the behaviour in case of an unexpected test event. 4.5 Abstract Service Primitives (ASPs) and Protocol Data Units (PDUs) 4.5.1 ASPs The format of the two used ASPs is defined as described in ETS 300 402-2 [9]: - dl_data_req - dl_data_ind 4.5.2 PDUs 4.5.2.1 PSTN protocol - pstn_establish - pstn_establish_ack - pstn_signal - pstn_signal_ack - pstn_disconnect - pstn_disconnect_complete - pstn_status_enquiry SIST EN 301 141-4 V1.1.1:2005
