Test 5.4 Intra-PDSN Hand-off, Mobile Station in Dormant State

This test verifies the successful handoff between PCFs on the same PDSN/FA while the mobile station is in the dormant state. The Intra-PDSN handoff will result in a continuation of the same PPP session and no mobile IP registration with the HA. The user is asked to verify that the wireless device can send and receive IP datagrams. This can be accomplished by either pinging an IP address or opening browser and bringing up a web page. Note: if the wireless device is connected to a computer, make sure the network link is through the wireless device and not through the local lan or some other connection.
