The Ameritec Model AM7 CO
Simulator is capable of simulating many
of the functions 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.
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
Analog Loop/Ground Start, 2- or 4-wire
E&M, 1.544Mbps T1 and 1.544Mbps
SLC 96 linecards. Line card types can be
mixed in the same unit to simulate
multiple switch interfaces.
The AM7 can detect pulse, DTMF or
MF R1 signaling, and can establish a
switched connection to any other line in
the unit. All call progress tones and
cadences are programmable, to produce
dialtone, ring, ringback, busy tones,
winks, etc.
The AM7 can simulate Special
Information Tones, circuit congestion
conditions, such as line or trunk busy,
and can introduce programable switched
connection loss.
The AM7 includes a powerful dialing
analyzer for analyzing received digits.
Optional Tone Receiver cards are
available for decoding MF and DTMF
digits for use with T1 or SLC 96
interfaces.
The AM7 is a self-contained, compact,
lightweight unit which is easily hand
carried, or can be rack mounted for
laboratory use.
