Configuring Basic Test Calls

The Basic Test Call feature tests incoming calls from remote SIP (IP) endpoints to a single simulated test endpoint on the device. The only required configuration is to assign a prefix number (test call ID) to the simulated endpoint. Incoming calls with this called (destination) prefix number are identified by the device as test calls and sent to the simulated endpoint. The figure below displays a basic test call example:

To configure basic call testing:
1. Open the Test Call Settings page (Troubleshoot menu > Troubleshoot tab > Test Call folder > Test Call Settings).
2. In the 'Test Call ID' field, enter a prefix for the simulated endpoint:

For a full description of the parameter, see SIP Test Call Parameters.

3. Click Apply.
The device can play DTMF tones to the remote endpoint. For more information, see Configuring DTMF Tones for Test Calls.
The Basic Test Call feature uses the default IP Group (ID #0) and its associated IP Profile (if exists).
Test calls are done on all SIP Interfaces.
