MAPS ™ INAP (Intelligent Network Application Part) 2

Highlights • Simulation of INAP (Intelligent Network Application Part) services • Supports testing network elements gsmSCF and gsmSSF • As per ANSI specifications, the supported services are CNAM (Calling Name Delivery), LNP (Local Number Portability), and Toll-free 800 Number • Prepaid Voice Call Service, Toll Free Voice Call Service, Low Balance Voice Call Service, and Initiate Call Attempt (ICA) Service over IP as per ITU-T specifications • ITU and ANSI variants of SS7 implemented over M3UA, M2PA, M2UA, MTP3 3

Applications • Multi-protocol, Multi-interface Simulation • Provides fault insertion, and erroneous call flows testing capability • Performance testing, Load Testing, Functional testing, Regression testing and Conformance testing of network elements • Ready scripts make testing procedure simpler, less time consuming and hence time to market products • Test response of network against protocol message modification, or corruption • Inter-operability testing of networks 4
