Ameritec is an independent test equipment bration, AM2 Niagara systems will last well into the next manufacturer, not owned or affiliated with any switch generation of switching systems. manufacturers or service providers -- your assurance of neutral and unbiased testing. To maintain the maximum level of performance, function- ality and flexibility, every AM2 Niagara is powered by a 32-bit RISC processor, controlled via user defined scripts and protocols and managed via FeatureCall, a Windows based graphical user interface. In addition, every line or channel in an AM2 Niagara is served by “local” DSPs to identify call progress tones, detect digits and to verify the voice path after a connection has been established. The combination of these capabilities allows the user of AM2 Niagara to create the complex call testing applications neces- sary to develop and test today’s communication systems and applications. 18B00021B-1995M Portable Call Generators AM2-A Analog AM2-D CAS AM2-B ISDN BRI AM2-DX ISDN-PRI AM2-P P-Phone (EBS) AM2-S7 SS7 760 Arrow Grand Circle ¥ Covina CA 91722 ¥ +626 915 5441 ¥ www.ameritec.com Testing Applications Introduction ® Ameritec’s AM2 Niagara family of products is Test configurations can, via Ameritec’s FeatureCall AM2 Niagara units are ideally suited for testing complex, interactive ® comprised of fully self-contained portable test GUI, control up to 32 AM2 Niagara’s via an Ethernet applications under high call loads on dozens of lines simultaneously in the field instruments designed to meet the rigid demands of TCP/IP LAN. or a dedicated lab environment. today’s telephony applications developer in both Through the use of user defined call scripts and line Applications that previously were too costly to test automatically can be easily laboratory and field applications.

Custom scripts and protocols may be developed by simply modifying the ones supplied with the unit, or new ones may be developed from the ground All AM2 Niagaras are furnished with front panel controls and FeatureCall, Ameritec’s Windows based up using available tools. Graphical User Interface (GUI) that provides control for test applications with a single AM2 or multiple units Call Scripts are developed by using either ScriptMate, Ameritec’s Graphical via an RS232 port or over a TCP/IP LAN. FeatureCall provides an easy method to configure units, test script generator tool or in a standard Text Editor. Scripts can be automati- create tests parameters and run test cases. cally downloaded to a unit through FeatureCall’s Call Setup Script window. Protocols can be developed or customized using Ameritec’s Protocol Development Kit. The kit runs on a personal computer and consists of a protocol development guide and an assembler/linker. Automation Interface Call Program Test Sets As an alternative to the front panel control or FeatureCall, the AM2 provides A Call Program Test Set consists of a collection of a control interface for users with proprietary test systems software. The com- Call Programs that have been assigned to various lines munication is a command line format that allows easy integration of the AM2 or channels for convenient pre-programmed or into an automated test system. automated testing. Protocol Assignments The AM2 uses Protocol State Tables to translate the call instructions from the Call Program Test Set to a sequence of signaling events that are recognized by Call Scripts & the network. The AM2 can support multiple protocols running simultaneously Multiple Call Programs = Call Programs and the user has the ability to assign them to lines and channels as necessary. Call Program Test Sets Call Scripts Call Scripts are templates Each AM2 is supplied with protocols that are standard for their model type. (Template) defining the actions of a single caller. The Call Script defines Protocol Assignments calling patterns, voice path con- firmation requirements and the supplemental tones and digits used in simple applications and complex calling scenarios. A number of scripts for common testing needs are provided with each unit. Call Call Call Using the Call Script as a template, call Programs Instructions Signaling variables (parameters) such as “dialed number” are added to create a Call Program. There is a separate Call Program for each line or channel in the unit. Call variables can be changed by the user to build new Call Programs, even with the unit running tests. All Call Call Programs are stored in Variables non-volatile memory. (Parameters) Statistics & Error Messages Statistics & Error Messages Statistics are automatically accumulated in the unit. Reports include totals for each line/channel, the number of errors recorded as well as totals for the system. The amount of statistical information reported is at the control of the user. Reports may be output to a printer or computer. The Real Time Error Log automatically records error conditions occurring in the running Test Set. Errors are reported on call setup, call completion and other conditions defined by Protocol State Table and Call Script. Each error record contains the Call Program name, line or channel affected, time and date of the error, the error type, and a short description of the error. The report also contains the start and stop times of the Test Set. 5 6 All Models Available in AM2 Niagara Unit Specifications CE Compatible Versions Real Time Error • Displayed or printed as they occur The AM2 Niagara product line consists of different General Specifications: The general specifications Digit Generators Reports: • Details of the last 100 errors are stored models providing physical interfaces for Analog define the features and capabilities that are common to Dialed digit strings are of unlimited length • Error reports include: type, the line(s) or channel(s), time Dial Pulse Generator: • Programmable dial speed: 1 pps to 999 pps P-Phone, T1/E1 CAS, ISDN PRI/BRI and SS7. all AM2 Niagara Models. • Error types recognized and reported: • Dial break: 1 to 99% • Slow dial tone (AM2-A only) • Inter-digit time: 1 to 999 ms • No dial tone (AM2-A only) General Characteristics Call Programs Multitone • One digit generator per line • Slow start (Except AM2-A) Call Program Sets: 4 per unit, stored in non-volatile memory Audio Monitor • Two volume controls adjust the stereo level of Digit Generators: • Dialing codes: MF R1, MF R2, DTMF • No start (Except AM2-A) Call Programs: 480 per unit, memory resident (640 for Interface: the internal loudspeaker • Default level: -9 dBm • No alert tone AM2-B) User Interface: • FeatureCall Graphical User Interface • Path or B-channel confirmation failed • Default frequencies: Nominal ± 0.005% Features: • FeatureCall Graphical User Interface • Command line control via RS232C or Telnet, • No answer signal • Commonly used scripts supplied with unit • Programmability: Each line individually (TCP/IP Ethernet) • Ring time-out (Except AM2-B and • Custom scripts created and downloaded from programmable for level 0 dBm to RS232/V.24 Ports: • Two Serial Ports: Main / Auxiliary.
