# Executing RTP tests using EDM

Use this procedure to execute an RTP test on the network to establish QoS benchmark.

## Before you begin

You must enable ServerBypass for the test to complete successfully.

## About this task

Important

When executing the script using EDM, do not run other commands while the script is in progress, because this slows down the execution. EDM can time-out while waiting for a response and even when a time-out occurs, the script execution continues on EDM.

1. From the navigation tree, double-click Serviceability.
2. In the Serviceability tree, double-click SLA Monitor.
3. In the SLA Monitor work area, click the RTP tab.
4. In the toolbar, click Insert.
5. In the OwnerId field, type the owner id.
6. In the TestName field, type the test name.
7. In the TargetAddress field, type an IP address.
8. In the Dscp field, type the dscp value.
9. In the TestPackets field, enter a value.
10. In the SyncPackets field, enter a value.
11. In the Period field, enter a value.
12. In the AdminStatus section, select enabled.
