How the FrameScope Pro Tests IP Video Quality
IPTV Channel Setup and Control
Both RTSP and IGMP will be supported to control IPTV channel setup. The product acts as an RTSP client and can establish an RTSP session with the media server. The RTSP client specifies the acceptable transport parameters provided by the user in the SETUP request. The media server is expected to confirm the selected parameters and reply with the server-side parameters (port numbers).
Once the setup is complete, the RTSP client tells the server to start/stop sending media data via the mechanism specified during SETUP.
For multicast streaming, the product uses IGMP to join or leave the multicast addresses to which the media data are sent. Stream Receiving
The video may consist of only one RTP channel, or two RTP channels (one for video and the other for audio). In the latter case, both RTP streams will be measured and two sets of results will be collected.
Stream data may be interleaved with RTSP in certain network configurations with firewalls. This interleaving is not supported. The media server must send stream data on transport channels separate from the RTSP channel. Stream Quality Measurement
The IPTV test software will perform video quality measurement by calculating the total packet loss, packet loss ratio, and jitter, using the sequence and timestamp information in the RTP header. The application will periodically poll the results and display to the user.
Addendum to the Agilent FrameScope Pro User’s Manual 5

FrameScope™ Pro as the Callee
If the FrameScope™ Pro is configured as the Callee in a SIP (RFC 3261) based VoIP system, it will support all codecs also available in the caller mode. The audio codec being used is defined in the media negotiation between caller and callee. To configure FrameScope™ Pro as the Callee, select the checkbox Auto Answer Incoming Call:
Based on the order of preference of supported audio codecs in the incoming SIP INVITE message, the suitable codec is selected in response. For example, if the caller provides the following sequence of supported codecs: G.723.1 – G.729 – G.711 A-law – G.711 µ-law, then the FrameScope™ Pro as the callee will select G.723.1 in the SIP RESPONSE message returned to the caller.
If there is no common codec found between caller and callee based on the media
information in the incoming SIP INVITE message, the FrameScope™ Pro as the callee will return a 488 Media Not Supported message to Caller side
For software release 6.0 and later: in the Callee mode, the preferred stream properties for the G.721/ G.726 Codec family must be chosen in the G.726 Stream Properties box. The setting is used only if Caller and Callee negotiate a G.721 or G.726 Codec, and disregarded otherwise.

Download of Test Suites from an FTP Server
Features 25
The User Interface 26
This section describes the download of pre-defined test suites from an available FTP server. After downloading, the test suite files are stored in different directories on the CompactFlash card, depending on their filenames.
Features
Users who maintain multiple FrameScope™ Pro in their inventory often have the need to use common test settings on those instruments, and like to prevent operator errors by providing them with pre-defined test suites. To support this approach, the FrameScope™ Pro can be configured to download test suites from an FTP server. This feature also supports FTP authentication.
Important Notice: the test suites are stored on the CompactFlash (CF) card of the
instrument under an indexed test suite filename. On the FrameScope™ Pro, the test suites are listed under their profile name for easier handling. The profile name is user configurable and is stored inside the test suite file.
The following table lists the destination directories on the CF card for the different test type prefixes that are part of the file names: Test Suite Type Test Suite Filename Prefix Destination Load Test ltst WSData1.0\\ltests Autotest ntst WSData1.0\\ntests VoIP Test vtst WSData1.0\\vtest [1]Video Test iptv_tst WSData1.0\\iptv_test [1] Video test suites available with software release 6.0 or later
To verify that the test suite has been downloaded, check for the availability of the new test suite’s profile name in the Suite listing of the related test. Due to renaming, the test suite can not be easily identified by the indexed filename on the CF card.
Test suite files are simple text files (.txt extension). Advanced users can create new test suite files based on the test suite templates for the various test types.

Simultaneous Traffic Generation during VoIP Testing
Features 29
Configuring Traffic Generation during VoIP Testing 30
This section describes how to generate network traffic load on the Test Port while VoIP testing runs on the Auxiliary Port of the FrameScope™ Pro.
This section is only applicable to instruments with the hardware option N2620A-041 (Auxiliary Port) and a VoIP testing license.
Features
Voice over IP systems can respond to increasing traffic load with a degradation of the
Quality of Service. By generating background traffic during a VoIP test the FrameScope™ Pro helps identifying bandwidth and latency issues that do not appear with single point-to-point VoIP calls.
In order to perform a VoIP test with background traffic in place, the FrameScope™ Pro needs two network connections, or, if this is not available, a separate hub/switch to combine the background traffic with the VoIP test call. An USB powered 10/100 Mbit/s switch is
available as an accessory to the FrameScope™ Pro under option number N2620A-054. It is connected to the FrameScope™ Pro’s USB port for power supply. Network connections are made as shown below.
