8. General Information
All tests in this package can be executed in automation.
AAP compatibility – configuration.ini file included in each commercial test package.
For Execution from the RTD Control PC
Edit MX786201A-460.ini in C:\Program Files\Anritsu\Rapid Test Designer\4.10.0\extensions on the RTD Control PC and ensure:
autoStartTestDialog=1
connectToTestDialog=1
testDialogAddress=
Run the tests using the RTD GUI.

9. General Information
UE APNs – It is necessary to have an APN configured in the UE
PDN #1: pta - for data-centric tests
In LTE tests that return the DUT to RRC_IDLE state after attachment, the DUT must be configured to not initiate uplink data packets; otherwise, these tests may fail.
It is recommended to run the test cases in a shielded environment to avoid interference from the live T-Mobile LTE network
Test package does not provide any provision for user configurable cable loss compensation. Please ensure short length / low loss RF cabling is used.

10. General Information
Authentication parameter SQN is tracked across all test plans in C:\RTDTests\SQN.txt
Authentication failure with cause Sync Failure is due to mismatch between SQN on UICC and SQN in SQN.txt
The quickest and most reliable way to get a UICC and the RTD PC in sync is to:
Use a SIM reader to change all 33 SQN records back to on the UICC
Set C:\RTDTests\SQN.txt to

11. General Information
APM log files should be acquired if problems or failures are experienced during the throughput part of tests. To analyze a consistently failing test, Anritsu requires a matching set of control PC and server logs.
The RTD Control PC log files are located at: C:\ProgramFiles\Anritsu\Logs\RTD4.10.0\mmi\PerformanceMeasurement\apm_out.log.
The data server PC log files are located at:
/var/log/anritsu/apm/apm_out.log.

13. General Information Useful files during execution:
A sample UE proxy file
ATT_LTE_Sample_Proxy.xml, is provided with this release and is intended as a starting point for tailoring UE-specific proxy files for use during AT Commands during execution.
When executing tests from RTD, rename the file to proxy.xml in C:\Program
Files\Anritsu\RapidTest Designer\4.10.0\bin.
When executing tests from AAP, ensure the proxy file is C:\Anritsu\AAP\UE and
select it when running the AAP Select UE step.

Execution tips
TestDialog utility inform the user of events during test execution and prompt for user responses This allows time for tethering UE, ping test etc.
UE must be tethered to RTD Control PC for APM to work.
LTE SON tests require a second LVDS cable connected between MF6900A Port 4 and Master MD8430A Ports 3 & 4. A second sync (BNC) cable is required to be connected between MF6900A Sync Start 2 and Master MD8430A Sync Out 2.
