Automated QA Tools

AARNet provide automated playback/loopback services available 24/7 for Quality Assurance and IP/ISDN end-points’ testing. This facility enable end-users to self-test their systems whenever it is required.

How it works

You can test your IP (H.323) videoconferencing endpoint by dialing to one of the AARNet's MCUs using the public IP address (details below). When connected you need to choose a specific conference/session from the list.  

There are 3 test sessions across the AARNet Codian and Polycom RMX MCUs that enable 

  1. Testing of received and transmitted AV signals and shared presentation (H.239 Content sharing).  
  2. Receiving audio/video with H.239 content channel 

These sessions provide playback that includes content (H.239) to test incoming AV signal and shared presentation. You will be able to see and hear a recorded conference and associated presentation.
