IOP1vendors eSBC response to SIP OPTIONS messages from SBCNo calls are required for this test. SIP trace to be captured for approx 60 seconds and checked for correct signalling.

For each eSBC, the SBC will periodically send an OPTIONS request to the vendors eSBC to check if its SIP stack is reachable. If a SIP response 200 OK is received from the IP-PBX, the SIP trunk will be placed (or remain) in an In-Service state

e.g. OPTIONS sip:ping@<ipping@<ip-pbx_IP_Addr>:5060 SIP/2.0
Pass 
IOP2SBC response to SIP OPTIONS messages from vendor eSBCNo calls are required for this test. SIP trace to be captured for approx 60 seconds (depending on agreement) and checked for correct signalling.

Vendors eSBC setup for Solution IP.Addr Mode
eSBC configured to send OPTIONS messages to the SBC on a periodic basis. The SBC responds with SIP response 200OK -
