In this embodiment, a dialing test method is provided, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart 1 of a dialing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the process includes the following steps. Step:

Step S302, the first virtual test terminal sends a first dial test message to the first virtual terminal corresponding to the first virtual terminal, where the first dial test message carries the first test data, so that the first virtual terminal is according to the first The test data is obtained by the first virtual terminal to simulate the first dial test result of the called party;

Step S304, detecting a second dialing test message sent by the first virtual terminal in response to the first dialing test message, where the second dialing test message carries the second test data;

Step S306, obtaining a second dialing result of the second virtual terminal to simulate the calling party according to the second test data.

Through the above steps, the two virtual terminals interact with each other, and the test data is mutually exchanged, and the test result of the simulated main and called calls is obtained according to the test data, thereby improving the dialing efficiency.

In an embodiment, in step S306, obtaining the second dialing result of the second virtual terminal to simulate the calling party according to the second test data may be in multiple manners, for example, if the second test data is not detected, It is determined that the second dialing result of the second virtual terminal simulating the calling party is an analog dialing test failure. For example, in the case that the second test data is detected, it is determined whether the second test data is consistent with the preset test data; and if the second test data is inconsistent with the preset test data, the second virtual terminal is simulated. The second dial test result is the analog dial test failure; if the second test data is consistent with the preset test data, it is determined that the second dial test result of the second virtual terminal simulates the caller is the analog dial test success. For example, it is also determined whether the data sent by the first virtual terminal is received in the preset time period (regardless of what type of data is received), and if received, determining that the second virtual terminal simulates the second call of the calling party. The dial test result is successful for the analog dial test. If it is not received, it is determined that the second dial test result of the second virtual terminal simulates the caller is an analog dial test failure.

The above embodiment will be described below by way of example.

Pre-configuring test data (ie, preset test data) that is expected to be received from other virtual terminals in the network element corresponding to the second virtual terminal, and receiving a preset time of the test data, where the test data may be voice service data, or Is data business data or other types of business data. The preset time may be a period of time from the moment when the virtual terminal sends the test data to the called party virtual terminal as the simulated calling party, or may be the mode when the virtual terminal is used as the simulated called party. A period of time from the moment the off-hook responds.

During the preset time, it is detected whether there is second test data sent from the first virtual terminal. If the second test data is detected, it is determined whether the detected second test data is consistent with the preset test data. If yes, it is determined that the second dialing result of the second virtual terminal simulating the calling party is successful for the analog dialing test. When the second test data is not detected, and the detected second test data is inconsistent with the preset test data, it is determined that the second dialing result of the second virtual terminal simulates the calling party is an analog dial test failure.

Through the embodiment of the present invention, the second virtual terminal simulates the dialing test result of the calling party through different detection results, so that the dialing test result of the simulated calling party can be determined more accurately, and the accuracy of the dialing test is improved.

In an embodiment, before step S302, a call connection between the first and second virtual terminals may be established in multiple manners. For example, the first dialing command for indicating the simulated calling party may be received by the first port of the second virtual terminal, where the first dialing command carries the first virtual number; the first corresponding to the first virtual number The virtual terminal initiates a call; receives a first response signal returned by the first virtual terminal for simulating an off-hook response, and establishes a call connection between the second virtual terminal and the first virtual terminal. That is, the dialing command for simulating the calling party is received by the first port, where the dialing command carries the first virtual number corresponding to the first virtual terminal, and the first port virtualizes the second virtual terminal. Other manners in which a call connection between the first virtual terminal and the second virtual terminal can be established can be used to perform the call connection in this embodiment.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, according to the dialing test command, the dialing test is performed on the virtual terminal of the interface of the network element, and the existing structure of the network element can be utilized, without adding new hardware or complicated software modularization in the network element. The realization of the dial test reduces the cost of the dial test and reduces the complexity of the dial test.

In an embodiment, before the step S302, the dial test of the simulated called party may also be performed in the network element where the second virtual terminal is located. For example, the second dialing command of the simulated called party may be received by the second port of the second virtual terminal; and the second answering signal for simulating the off-hook response is sent if the second port receives the first virtual terminal to initiate the call. Detecting a third dial test message sent by the first virtual terminal, where the third dial test message carries the third test data; and obtaining, according to the third test data, the second virtual terminal to simulate the third dial test result of the called party, and To the first virtual terminal The fourth dial test message is sent, where the fourth dial test message carries the fourth test data, so that the first virtual terminal obtains the fourth dial test result of the first virtual terminal emulation caller according to the fourth test data.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the first virtual terminal and the second virtual terminal may form an analog main called party pair (the same virtual terminal may form a simulated calling party pair with a plurality of other virtual terminals respectively), and respectively pair the simulated calling party and the called party. The virtual terminal performs a dial test test for simulating the calling party and simulating the called party, thereby implementing a comprehensive analog dial test.

In an embodiment, after the dialing result is obtained, the obtained dialing result can be reported to the dialing server. For example, after the third virtual terminal simulates the third dialing result of the called party according to the third test data, the method further includes: reporting the obtained third dialing result of the simulated called party to the dialing test server. For example, after obtaining the second dialing result of the second virtual terminal to simulate the calling party according to the second test data, the second dialing result of the simulated calling party is reported to the dialing test server.

In the embodiment, a dialing test method is also provided, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart 2 of the dialing method according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the process includes the following steps:

Step S402, determining a dialing measurement range corresponding to the first dialing task in the network controlled by the dialing server, where the dialing range includes: multiple pairs of the first network element and the second network element;

Step S404: Send a first dialing command for instructing to perform the simulated calling to the first network element in the dialing range, and send a second instruction to the second network element in the dialing range to indicate that the simulated called party is to be sent. And dialing the test command to establish a call connection between the first virtual terminal corresponding to the first network element and the second virtual terminal corresponding to the second network element, and perform a dial test test;

Step S406: Acquire a first dialing result of the simulated calling party reported by the first network element in the dialing range, and a second dialing result of the simulated called party reported by the second network element in the dialing range;

Step S408: Locating the faulty network element in the network according to the obtained first dialing test result and the second dialing test result.

Through the above steps, the dialing measurement range corresponding to the dialing task in the network controlled by the dialing server is determined, and the simulated main called party is sent to the first network element and the second network element in the dialing range respectively. The test command is used to locate the faulty network element according to the dialed test result reported by the first and second network elements, thereby improving the dialing efficiency. At the same time, the dial test can be tested by software, which reduces the cost of dialing the network.

In an embodiment, in step S402, the dialing range corresponding to the dialing task can be determined in multiple manners. For example, all the network element nodes in the network controlled by the dialing server can be used as the dialing range corresponding to the dialing task, and for example, all the network element nodes in the network controlled by the dialing server can randomly select several networks. The meta-node acts as the dialing range corresponding to the dial-up task. For example, according to different network structures, the network element node may be selected as a dialing measurement range corresponding to the dialing task according to different rules: in the case that the network includes the ring network, determining the dialing corresponding to the first dialing task The measurement range includes: at least two network elements in the ring network; in the case that the network includes the chain network, determining the dialing range corresponding to the first dialing task includes: the end network element of the chain network, and the chain shape At least one network element of the network except the end network element.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the network element node is selected as the dialing measurement range corresponding to the dialing test task by using different rules, which can be applied to different network topology results, reduces the number of dialing measurements, and improves the dialing measurement efficiency.

In an embodiment, in step S402, the dialing range corresponding to the dialing task can also be determined in the following manner: according to the dialing result of the second dialing task performed before the first dialing task, combined with the network The network topology determines a dialing range corresponding to the first dialing task, where the first network topology range corresponding to the first dialing task is smaller than the second network topology range corresponding to the second dialing task. That is to say, the dial test can be performed on the larger network range first, and according to the dial test result, it is determined that there is further dial test demand (for example, the faulty network element node in the network), and is reduced according to the previous dial test result.

Based on the foregoing embodiments and implementation manners, in order to explain the entire process interaction of the solution, in this embodiment, a dialing test system and a dialing test method to which the system can be applied are provided. The following provides the system provided in this embodiment separately. And methods to explain.

The dialing test system provided in this embodiment includes: one or more automatic dial test servers (acting the same as the dial test server). The hardware entity of the automatic dial test server may be a personal computer (Personal Computer, PC for short) or a server. According to the number of network elements that need to be dialed in the jurisdiction, the performance requirements of the computer have changed. But in general, you don't need a very advanced server. Because the system supports distributed deployment, multi-level server networking can be used to meet performance requirements. As shown in FIG. 5, the automatic dial test server includes the following modules in software: a system master control module 52, a configuration management module 54, a call routing module 56, a call and result collection module 58, a result analysis module 510, and a result. The module 512 and the database module 514 are displayed. The above seven modules are described separately below.

(2) In the case where the network element in the communication network has a variety of network element manufacturers and network element types, the corresponding processing is performed according to the dialing test requirements of different network elements: the dialing test commands sent by the network element are correspondingly adjusted, thereby Different network elements are applied to make the analog call work normally;

(3) The test set is managed by an algorithm, and the call is appropriately parallelized (that is, multiple network elements simultaneously perform analog calls) to reduce the dialing time.

(4) After the dial test is completed, the summary result of the call is obtained and output to the result analysis module 510.

The result analysis module 510 can be set to:

FIG. 7 is a network structure diagram of a communication network according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the networking structure of the communication network is a base layer communication network, and the network is a ring-chained network; the communication network will There are many such base layer communication networks, and a plurality of networks together form a networking structure as shown in FIG.

It can be seen from FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 that the number of network elements on the network is quite large. If two or two dial tests are performed, the call volume is very large, takes a long time, and is inefficient. Therefore, the test set can be simplified to improve the efficiency of dialing.

It can be simplified by the following principles:

(1) Ring network, which can randomly collect several nodes on the ring for testing.

(2) Chain network, which can randomly test several nodes on the non-endpoint of the chain and test the end nodes of the chain.

Because the number of tests is relatively high, random tests can guarantee that the nodes on the network will be tested for a period of time.

Taking FIG. 7 as an example, it is assumed that the network element set tested for the first time is the network elements A1, A2, A4, A7, B2, and B3. During the test, it was found that there was a problem in dialing between the network element A4 and the network element A1.

In order to analyze the fault point and narrow the topology to the ring network where the fault point is located, the call routing module analyzes the ring network and generates a call list for dialing all points on the ring network, assuming that the list is A1 and A2-A8 respectively. Make a dial test.

Through the dialing test of the call and result collection module, the fault point is confirmed according to the result of the dial test. Suppose that only A1 and A3, A1 and A4 are not connected, so that the result shown in Figure 9 can be obtained. That is, A3 and A2 are disconnected, and A4 and A5 are disconnected.

In terms of rendering, the result display module adopts a stepless zooming manner, and presents an effect similar to that of FIG. 8 and FIG.

The automatic dial test server provided in this embodiment has the capability of simple stacking. It can accept external requests, dial the test for the specified node in the jurisdiction, and return the dial test results to the requester. Figure 10 shows the network of the automatic dial-up server deployed in a layered manner. For the superior dial-up server in FIG. 10, its tested network element belongs to each subordinate jurisdiction, which is a subset of all subordinate jurisdiction network elements, and this subset constitutes a dialed number set. When it is found that the dial-up abnormality occurs, it requests the relevant subordinate dial test server for further analysis. When the subordinate dials the test server and returns the result, the result presentation module of the upper dial test server is presented.

The upper server cooperates with the lower server as shown in Figure 11. Through collaboration, the upper-level server can conveniently perform network-wide dialing without having to manage all network elements. In the case of more network nodes, multi-level server networking can occur, so there will be some servers. It is both the upper-level server of the lower-level network and the lower-level server of the upper-level network. At this time, the method of sending the faults is used to perform the further dialing of the fault point, and the obtained dialing test result is uploaded step by step, thereby achieving the effect of stacking the network and covering the whole network.

The dialing method in the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

Most access gateways support analog calling and analog called. The analog calling function and the simulated called function are as follows:

1) Analog caller function of the access gateway

The analog calling function of the access gateway can be as shown in Figure 12. After receiving the command to simulate the calling party, the network element (for example, the access gateway) simulates a virtual user in the system, initiates a call to the test partner through the virtual user, and the test partner hears the ringing and then picks up the phone. When you hear a special tone from a virtual user (for example, it can be a dual-tone multi-tone, or other type of sound), after confirming that the voice is normal, the tester hangs up and the network element issues a result report of the simulated caller test.

As can be seen from the above process, the normal detection of voice only confirms that the one-way voice sent from the virtual user to the test partner is normal.

2) Analog called function of the access gateway

The analog called function of the access gateway can be as shown in FIG. After receiving the command to simulate the called party, the network element (for example, the access gateway) simulates a virtual user in the system, and the test partner initiates a call to the virtual user. After the virtual user detects the ringing signaling, the simulation simulates Off-hook, test the person who hears the special sound from the virtual user (for example, it can be dual-tone multi-tone, or other types of sound). After confirming that the voice is normal, the tester hangs up and the network element issues the simulated called test. Results report.

As can be seen from the above process, the normal detection of voice only confirms that the one-way voice sent from the virtual user to the test partner is normal.

In the dialing test method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the function of simulating the calling party and simulating the called party of the access gateway is modified. The dialing method is shown in Figure 14. The analog dialing requires two virtual users, assuming the calling party. The virtual user A is the virtual user B and the called party is the virtual user B.

When the network element A receives the request of the virtual user A's analog dial test, the user A of the calling party is virtualized. When the network element B receives the request of the virtual user B's analog dial test, the user B of the called party is virtualized. Virtual user A automatically initiates a call to virtual user B, B simulates an off-hook response, A sends a special tone, B detects; then B sends a special tone, A detects; then hangs up and releases the resources. After the call is released, the network element A issues a result report of the analog dial test. The report describes whether the virtual user A hears the special sound of the virtual user B. The network element B issues a report of the simulated dial test, and the report describes whether the virtual user B listens. A special tone to virtual user A.

It can be seen from this process that the voice detection of the analog dial test is two-way, ensuring that the call is reachable, and the two-way voice function of the call is normal.

The dialing method described above is a two-way detection of voice. If the data service is extended to the two-way communication of the fax and the modem data in the data service, the dialing method described in this embodiment can be applied to the automatic dialing of the data service.

The analog dialing method for the access gateway is described below using an embodiment, mainly describing the implementation process in the call and result collection module.

The following describes the analog call operation method of a certain type of access gateway.

1, analog called function

Calleesimulate slot 2 index 0 action 1 timeout 60

Description: Simulate slot 2 port 0 as called, it will wait for someone to call in.

Get-callsimulateinfo slot 2 index 0

Description: Get the result of the simulated called test.

2, analog caller function

Callersimulate slot 1 index 0 action 1 dialno calledid timeout 60

Description: Dial the calledid number in slot 1 port 0.

Get-callsimulateinfo slot 1 index 0

Description: Get the result of the simulated caller test.

3. After the analog calling function and the called function of the module are improved, the analog dialing function can be obtained. The process of dialing the dial test function is as follows:

Assume that the number of slot 2 port 0 is 19860000, and the number of the called id that simulates the calling party is 19860000. The simulated calling user is recorded as user A, and the simulated called user is recorded as user B.

Perform the foregoing configuration operations of the simulated calling party and the simulated called party. After the execution, user A will automatically dial user B; after user B automatically picks up the phone, A sends a special tone, B detects; then B sends a special tone, A detection; Then hang up and release the resources.

In the case that user A listens to the normal sound of user B, the calling party obtains the dialing result of the simulated calling party as “Result: SIM_SUCCESS”, and vice versa, the dialing result of the simulated calling party is “Result: SIM_FAILED”; B. When the user A's special tone is normal, the called party obtains the dialed test result of the simulated called party as "Result: SIM_SUCCESS", and vice versa, the dialed test result of the simulated called party is "Result: SIM_FAILED".

The main processing of a call and result collection is as follows:

(1) Generate a command to simulate the calling party and simulate the called party according to the network element type described in the topology information.

(2) Connect to the calling and called NEs through the management channel of the network element, and execute the analog caller in the analog dial test and simulate the called command.

(3) After a period of time, the result of the analog dial test is obtained on the calling party and the called network element.

(4) Analyze the results of successful or failed dialing tests.

Through the embodiment of the present invention, a dialing method is provided, which can be applied to a distributed, stackable automatic dialing system, which provides call routing, call and result collection, result analysis, and The resulting functionality provides a low-cost solution for dial-up testing of communication networks.
