The dongle is inserted but SAFIRE complains with error message "SXI not licensed" when I try to run the simulation system
Ensure the test environment system you want to run is licensed. Contact sales
Under XP, during installation of the SAFIRE environment , the process does not complete successfully.
The cause may be related to WinZip. Ensure WinZip is installed prior to SAFIRE installation.
How do I find out my HASP security key ID?
Insert the HASP security key (USB or parallel) in a machine with SAFIRE software installed. Note: SAFIRE must be installed to ensure the correct HASP key drivers are available in order for the test program to communicate with the key and query the ID.
Run the SAFIRE Organizer and select an archive (e.g. c:\voip) and version (e.g. 16.17.20.00 as usual.
When the Organizer has completed loading the projects, choose Options->License Diagnostics. Note: in some older versions there may be a non-critical Microsoft Error at this point. Simply press Ignore several times to dismiss it.
The number under Software Sharing Device ID in the License Diagnostics window is the HASP key ID.
How can I run a batch-file at the start of a SIP test?
Configure the test suite via the Campaingner and set PX_Auto_Trigger_RESET_SUT to TRUE.
Create a batch-file called C:\trigger_reset_SUT.bat and fill it with the commands you wish to run Path and filename are currently hard-coded).
What could be the problem if an INVITE message can't be received while running SIP?
Make sure that you add port 5060, and select UDP in Windows firewall setup.
What are the advantages of SAFIRE over TTCN?
SAFIRE's test features are based on TTCN (ISO 9646-1 & 2). Following a cooperation with the ITU-T as recognized A.4 organization, SAFIRE jumped over the TTCN-3 work to create the world's first unified graphical representation for implementation AND test.
Testing languages, including TTCN, are evolving and we are working at the cutting edge of this evolution; as a qualified organization of the ITU-T, we are working on defining the next generation of languages. You can find more information about our role in these activities on the SDL Task Force website at www.SDL-Task-Force.org. From our experience, here are a few points to help you understand the advantages of using SAFIRE:
