Central Office Simulator

Information

The Ameritec AM7 Central Office Simulator is a simulator of Central Office switches, PABX switches, or the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The AM7 is user-programmable, allowing Realistic testing when an actual switch is not available. It is a self-contained, compact, lightweight unit which is easily hand carried, or can be rack mounted for laboratory use. The AM7 mainframe is a miniature, high performance, non-blocking digital switch. It is capable of switching up to 48,000 calls per hour, and has 10 option card slots for installation of Plug-In interfaces. Interface options include: • 1 - 10 Analog Loop/Ground Start linecards • 1 - 10 Dual Line Analog E & M linecards • 1 - 4 Single Line T1 PCM linecards and/or Single Line DLC linecards • 1 - 7 Tone Receivers for decoding MF and DTMF digits for use with PCM or DLC interfaces The AM7 is easily configured to simulate a variety of CO or PABX switches. This allows testing to be performed in development or manufacturing environments without having to connect lines to a live switch. • The Analog line Interface options for the AM7 make it perfect for testing of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), particularly in development, manufacturing, and repair areas. • The PCM line Interface option allows testing of CPE or switching equipment with T1 interfaces, and when used in combination with Analog linecards, allows the AM7 to simulate the subscriber and trunk functions of a switch. • The DLC option allows the AM7 to fully simulate a COT, making the AM7 perfect for installation testing of SLC ®96 Remote Terminals (RTs). The portability of the AM7 allows use in the field to test or install CPE or other equipment. The ability to remote control the AM7 via a built in RS-232 port makes it suitable for automated test applications in the laboratory.

Information

The AM7 is a very versatile unit that is used in different environments throughout the world. As a result, no manual could be written to exactly match your testing requirements. Instead, a Getting Started Section with generalized applications has been written. These applications include step-by-step instructions that you can modify to meet your testing needs. The following is a summary of the manual's contents by section. Table of Contents contains a detailed Table of Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables. Section 1, Introduction, provides an overview of the basic functionality of the unit. It shows the location and layout of the front panel and describes its components. It also discusses cabling, power, options, and accessories. Section 2, Getting Started, provides information regarding Unpacking, Power On/Off, Memory Backup, and AM7 operation. Section 3, System Setup and Programming, introduces System and Line parameters, Dialing Analyzer parameters, and Action Codes. Section 4, Programming Examples and Tests, provides examples of AM7 Dialing Code programming, and various switching and test applications that may be accomplished by means of the programming. Section 5, Reports, lists and describes both the Automatic Unit Data Register and User Requested reports, including report parameters and available options. Section 6, Remote Control/Chaining, describes the method of remotely controlling the operation and printing of reports from the AM7. It also provides information regarding the "chaining" together of multiple AM7 units. Section 7, Technical Specifications, is to be consulted for an overview of the AM7's capabilities and operating parameters. Section 8, Warranty and Service, provides warranty, calibration, service, and repair information for the AM7. Section 9, Glossary, contains a list of acronyms or abbreviations used in this manual. Section 10, Index, provides an alphabetical listing of all topics. In this manual slashed zeroes (ø) are used to distinguish the number zero from the letter "O" when entering RS-232 commands or representing displayed values. Elsewhere slashed zeroes are only used if there's a chance confusion would result if they weren't used.
