Overview

Providing IT services is not an easy duty. Providing IT services via IP Telephony to hundreds of users is a technological challenge. The SoftDrom company suggest an assistance to those who use external application servers with Nortel IP Telephony.

Why Use It

• Test your G-XAS application appearance on screens of Nortel IP Phones with G-XAS support. No need to buy and configure real such IP Phones. Discover screen output your applications produces. See Appendix 1 for example of Nortel IP Phones screens with G-XAS support.

• Test your G-XAS application robustness and capacity while running on hundreds of Nortel IP Phones. No need to buy and configure real such IP Phones.

• Test your G-XAS application server robustness and capacity while running different G-XAS applications on hundreds of Nortel IP Phones. No need to buy and configure real such IP Phones.

Who Should Use It

• G-XAS application servers R&D teams;

• G-XAS applications R&D teams;

• Verification teams dealing with G-XAS applications and servers;

• Customers and Distributors going to install G-XAS applications and servers.

Features Description

Features

• Nortel G-XAS protocol support.

• Nortel IP Phones screen resolution support. This feature allows having exact screen resolution and size for an IP phone. IP Phone types 1120E, 1140E, 1150E, 1165E, i2007 and IP Phone 2050 are supported.

• User activity auto emulating starting V2.0. The application will support scripts creating for user activities and auto run for such scripts to emulate user activities with an application.

• Two regimes of new window opening – Full and Light.
  In the Full regime a window provides the exact information sent by an GXAS-application via the applications server to the window. The regime is very useful for the GXAS-application test from the content and appearance point of view. Back side of that regime is high PC resources use on the PC running the GXASTester application.
  In the Light regime a window provides the only first view sent by an GXAS-application via the applications server to the window. For the next window updates sent to the window, text information with update counter is provided only. The regime is very useful for the GXAS-application capacity testing and for the applications server capacity testing. It is because emulator window uses about twice lower system resources comparing to the Full regime. With that, twice more emulator windows can be run on the same PC in the Light regime.

• Several instances of the GXASTester application can be run on one PC. With that, it is possible to run emulator windows for several different application servers from one PC.

• The main window of the GXASTester application provides information about number of emulator windows launched.

• Log window is shows for warnings like error of GXAS connection to an application server.

Limitations

• GXASTester does not support the Nortel UniStim protocol. As a result, the application does not allow phone calls making.

• No user activity auto emulating in V1.0.

Benefits

Let's imagine that a software development team or a future customer of a product of the development team is going to create a lab to do tests for functionality, related to GXAS protocol. They could create a lab of 100, 1000, 2500 or 10000 IP phones even.

As an organization, the development team of the customer will face three main challenges: Technical Support, Room for the lab and Finance for hardware and software.

• Finance for HW/SW: it is 6 times in average cheaper to use SoftDrom GXASTester lab for GXAS applications tests instead of real IP phones.
• Technical Support: it is 2 times in average cheaper to do technical support for a SoftDrom GXASTester lab for GXAS applications tests instead of real IP phones.
• Room for the lab: it is 20 times in average cheaper to rent lab room for a SoftDrom GXASTester lab for GXAS applications tests instead of real IP phones.
