SIP Trunk Long Call

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.
  1. At least one number must be available in the Numbers module under the number type SIP Quality | Add Number - Enterprise/Contact Center
  2. At least one SIP Trunk must be available in the SIP Trunk module | Add a SIP Trunk
  3. An IVR Traversal that specifies ONLY the expected duration of a call | Add Inbound IVR

To add a SIP Trunk Long Call test campaign, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Add Campaign Wizard as illustrated below.


    1. Navigate to the Campaigns module of the platform(this is located here in the left navigation menu).
    2. Select the Number Type for your campaign in the drop-down menu (every number is assigned a number type when it is first entered into the platform. Choose the associated number type for the numbers you wish to test. If you are unsure at this point move to the next step).
    3. Click the Add Campaign button to bring up the Wizard (this is located top right of the page).
  2. Complete the setup in Step 1 as outlined below.

    4. Test Type: Choose SIP Trunk Long Call as the type of testing you would like to run.
    5. IVR Traversal:Select the IVR that will be used to determine the length of time that a call should remain connected.
