    Test Steps 1. At OSS clientselect the Fault -> VIP Site Alarm Statistic menu to open the VIP Site Alarm Statistics window which has been divided into 6 parts to display the statistics in 6 periods of time.

    2. Verify that all the VIP sites (including SDR and SDRII) have been listed in the window, check that every site alarm statistic of each level in each period is consistent with the current and history alarm record.

    3. At OSS clientSelect the Configuration->Wireless Config Application ->VIP NodeB Priority Query and Set, then select the aim AMO, in the prompt window, select a Normal NE record, right click it and select VIP item, then select the execute button, if the Result is Success, then the site has been changed into a VIP site, check that this new VIP site has been listed in the VIP Site Alarm Statistics window. If a VIP site has been set into a normal site, it will not been displayed in the VIP Site Alarm Statistics window.

    4. Trigger some alarm in a VIP site, then check the alarm statistics of this site has been refreshed.
