 Enter the Phone Number Settings.

o For a Mobile Originated call campaign, enter the Number to call as the call server

number provided by Spirent Communications to be dialed by the mobile, as well as

the Number calling from.

o For a Mobile Terminated call campaign, enter the Number to dial as the mobile

phone number to be dialed by the Call Server.

o For a Mobile to Mobile Originate task, use the drop-down to select the location of

the Receiving Device. Enter the Number to dial for the receiving device.

o For a Mobile to Mobile Receive task, use the drop-down to select the location of

the Calling Device. Enter the Calling number of the originating device.

 Select the Call Initiation Mode. The Call Initiation Mode is applicable only when the same

Call Performance Task is applied to multiple channels during a test. This option does not

apply to a Mobile-to-Mobile Call Performance task.

o Synchronous Testing – Calls start simultaneously on all devices regardless of call

outcomes. For example, if one device drops a call, it will remain idle until the next

time all mobiles are scheduled to start a new call. Note that Synchronous Testing

may not be maintained for Mobile Terminated call campaigns.

o Asynchronous Testing – Each device follows its own call sequence without regard

to other device progress. In this mode, if one device drops a call, it will wait for the

specified time and then start a new call, even as the other devices continue their first

call.
