About the automated tests
The SmartClass Triple Play Services includes two automated tests:
OneCheck Allows triple play testing by running a DSL, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi test to verify network
connectivity and upstream/downstream thresholds, a ping test to verify data layer connectivity, a
FTP or HTTP test to verify data upload and download rates, a video test (as described in the video
check below), and a VoIP test. Then the test reports pass/fail results.
VideoCheck — Verifies whether all channels are available as ordered by the subscriber. The test is
included as a part of the OneCheck test, but can be run as a separate test when only the Video layer
needs to be verified.
Running the OneCheck test
The OneCheck test is an automated sequence of tests. The test runs a DSL, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi test
to test connectivity and upstream/downstream thresholds, a ping test to verify connectivity, a FTP
test to verify upload and download rates, a video test to verify the channels are provisioned as the
subscriber requested, and a VoIP test to verify call placement and QoS thresholds.
To run the OneCheck test
1 Launch the desired application: DSL, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi.
2 Select OneCheck.
The OneCheck menu appears. From this menu, you can start the test sequence or go to the
setup menus for each test.
3 To select which tests to run, either highlight the test and then press OK, or press the number
for that test to toggle enabled or disabled.
The only exception is VoIP. Select VoIP and then specify how the OneCheck script will place
the VoIP call:
Automatic – automatically place a call
Manual – display the VoIP call screen and wait for you to initiate the call manually
Disable – don’t run the VoIP test
4 To specify the test settings, press the key, and then select which test to setup.
a Select DSL Setup, and then specify the following:
Group Thresholds - pass/fail thresholds for upstream connection rate, max up rate, down-
stream connection rate, and max down rate. The Group Thresholds only appear when
testing in Bonded modes.
Upstream Thresholds - pass/fail thresholds for upstream connection rate, max rate,
margin, and LATN (for ADSL) or 1MHz attenuation (xDSL).
Downstream Thresholds - pass/fail thresholds for downstream connection rate, max rate,
margin, and LATN (for ADSL) or 1MHz attenuation (xDSL or VDSL).
NOTE:
DSL Setup is only available if testing over DSL. If testing over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, this selection
will not appear.
