Test-CsP2PVideoInteropServerSipTrunkAV

Use the Test-CsP2PVideoInteropServerSipTrunkAV cmdlet to test the ability of a video gateway to conduct a peer-to-peer audio/video (A/V) call to a Skype for Business user via a Video Interop Server (VIS) pool.

Description

The Test-CsP2PVideoInteropServerSipTrunkAV cmdlet is an example of a Skype for Business Server "synthetic transaction." Synthetic transactions are used in Skype for Business Server to verify that users are able to successfully complete common tasks such as logging on to the system, exchanging instant messages, or making calls to a phone located on the public switched telephone network (PSTN). These tests can be conducted manually by an administrator, or they can be automatically run by an application such as System Center Operations Manager.

Synthetic transactions can be run against a pool, or specific users.

Administrators will generally use the CsHealthMonitoringConfiguration cmdlets to set up test users for each of their Registrar pools. The test users are pre-configured for use with synthetic transactions. With test users configured for a pool, administrators can run a synthetic transaction against that pool without having to provide specific users and credentials.

Administrators can also run a synthetic transaction using actual Skype for Business user accounts. For example, if one user is reporting audio or video issues, you could use the Test-CsP2PVideoInteropServerSipTrunkAV cmdlet to test that user's connection to the VIS pool and that connection's support of audio and video streams. The cmdlet accepts one actual user per run. If you test VIS using actual user accounts you need to supply the logon names and passwords for each user via a credential object created by the Get-Credential cmdlet. See Example 1 for more information.

Cmdlet pre-requisites

The following are pre-requisites for running the Test-CsP2PVideoInteropServerSipTrunkAV cmdlet.

<WatcherNode Fqdn="watchernode.contoso.com" Port="5555" CertThumbPrint="80182fdbb901ef061b57bf65e5a0907ff876e02e" />

</VISPools>

Configure the VIS Pools to trust the watcher node by using the New-CsVideoInteropServerSyntheticTransactionConfiguration or Set-CsVideoInteropServerSyntheticTransactionConfiguration cmdlets. Please see the Related Topics section for more information

When you call Test-CsCsP2PVideoInteropServerSipTrunkAV the cmdlet will first attempt to log the synthetic or actual user on to Skype for Business Server. Assuming that the logon succeeds, the cmdlet will simulate a video gateway and attempt to call the test user over the Video Trunk setup with the VIS Pool specified in the configuration file. The Test-CsP2PVideoInteropServerSipTrunkAV cmdlet verifies the connection by making an audio-video call to the test user via the target VIS pool. That call also transmits audio-video streams across the network to determine whether media can be sent over the connection. The call is answered by the cmdlet itself, and no manual termination of the call is necessary (no one needs to answer or hang up the call.)

To return a list of all the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) roles a cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt.

Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets -Match "\<DesiredCmdletName\>"}

Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------

$cred1 = Get-Credential "contoso\user1"

Test-CsP2PVideoInteropServerSipTrunkAV -UserSipAddress "sip:user1@contoso.com" -UserCredential $cred1 -TargetFqdn "atl-cs-001.contoso.com"

This example creates a credential variable and passes the credential and SIP address of a specific user for testing against the "atl-cs-001.contoso.com" VIS pool.

Parameters

-Authentication

Type of authentication used in the test. Allowed values are:

TrustedServer

Negotiate

ClientCertificate

LiveID

Type:AuthenticationMechanism
Aliases:Ath
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019

-Force

Suppresses the display of any non-fatal error messages and completes the cmdlet operation.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019

-OutLoggerVariable

When present, the transaction log for the cmdlet will be stored in the specified variable. This variable includes a pair of methods - ToHTML and ToXML - that can then be used to save that output to either an HTML or an XML file.

To store output in a logger variable named $TestOutput use the following syntax:

-OutLoggerVariable TestOutput

Do not prepend a $ character when specifying the variable name.

To save the information stored in the logger variable to an HTML file, use a command similar to this:

$TestOutput.ToHTML() \> C:\Logs\TestOutput.html

To save the information stored in the logger variable to an XML file, use a command similar to this:

$TestOutput.ToXML() \> C:\Logs\TestOutput.xml

Type:String

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019

-OutVerboseVariable

When present, detailed output from running the cmdlet will be stored in the specified variable. For example, to store output in a variable named $TestOutput use the following syntax:

-OutVerboseVariable TestOutput

Do not prepend a $ character when specifying the variable name.

Type:String
Aliases:ovv
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-RegistrarPort

SIP port used by the Registrar service. This parameter is not required if the Registrar uses the default port 5061.

Type:Int32
Aliases:rp
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019

-UserCredential

User credentials object for the account to be tested. The value passed to UserCredential must be an object reference obtained by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. For example, this code returns a credential object for the user litwareinc\kenmyer and stores that object in a variable named $x: $x = Get-Credential "litwareinc\kenmyer". You need to supply the user password when running Get-Credential.

This parameter is not required if you are conducting the test under the health monitoring configuration settings for the pool.

Type:PSCredential
Aliases:uc
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-UserSipAddress

SIP address for user account to be tested; for example: -UserSipAddress "sip:kenmyer@contoso.com".

The UserSipAddress parameter must reference the same user account as UserCredential. This parameter is not required if you are conducting the test under the health monitoring configuration settings for the pool.
