Long Call testing is designed for troubleshooting issues with unexpected
disconnections, and assisting with difficulties in managing SIP re-invite processes on the
customer outbound call paths. The SIP Trunk Long Call test examines if the calls persist for
the intended duration.
Note: To complete this task you will need the following elements. If you are missing any
of these elements you will not be able to complete the task successfully.
At least one SIP Trunk must be available in the SIP Trunk
module | Add a SIP Trunk
An IVR Traversal that specifies ONLY the expected duration of a call | Add Inbound IVR

Navigate to the Add Campaign Wizard as illustrated below.
