The Capture Dialed Digits application provides the capability to capture and display DTMF and MF (along with MFR2-forward and MFR2-backward) digits as they are received on one or several timeslots. This application provides two basic modes of operation: Manual and Scan for Offhook Modes.

T1/E1 Call Capture & Analysis

This powerful utility provides the capability to record calls directly from T1/E1 lines for post analysis. The system uses two Ultra T1/E1 Cards, or GL's Dual Laptop T1/E1 Analyzer to interface non-intrusively with T1 or E1 lines. Calls can be automatically or manually captured from both directions of transmission. Subsequently, the captured call or calls can be played back and analyzed in time, spectral, and 3D graphic modes using a commercial sound card, built-in high fidelity speakers, and custom analysis software.

Near Real-time Voice-band Analyzer Software

The Near Real-time Voice-band Analyzer (VBA) is an analysis tool for monitoring voice band network traffic. The VBA can host different analysis modules for monitoring speech and noise levels, line echo, and acoustic echo. The standard modules included in the application are ITU-T P.56 Active Voice Level analysis, and Line Echo (Hybrid) analysis. Other analysis modules such as ITU-T P.561, P.562, and P.563 can be hosted as plug-ins.

Call Data Records (CDR)

This application works with CCA (Call Capture and Analysis) and VBA (Voice Band Analyzer) applications and generates Call Summary and Call Detail reports. CDR provides comprehensive information on each and every call occurring on T1 E1 lines, including voice capture, signaling information for CAS, ISDN, MFC-R2, SS7, all alarms and errors occurring during the call, detailed voiceband event information (dual tones, fax tones, modem signals, and more), detailed analysis of the voiceband call including noise level, speech level, speech activity factor, echo measurements, and more. It also categorizes call as voice, fax, modem, or data.

Voice Call Management Utility

GL's Voice Call Management Utility (CMU), coupled with the GL's T1/E1 Call Capture and Analysis (CCA) application, provides all the necessary features to perform management of large volume of recorded voice calls. The CMU facilitates the job of manipulating recorded voice calls, including sorting of calls and filtering specific types of calls based on called or calling number, time of day, or length of call.

T1/E1 Record Playback Software

This optional software permits the user to transmit and/or capture any signal on T1 or E1 lines with GL's T1/E1 Cards or Laptop T1/E1 Units.

The traffic is monitored in real-time for 16 different traffic types including silence, voice, a variety of data modulations, fax modulations, DTMF digits, and call progress signals. Classification can be done on selected timeslots across multiple T1/E1 lines. A multi-channel strip chart display shows traffic types and durations using a configurable color scheme. An off-line feature can playback or fast forward through previously recorded and classified traffic data.

DCME Test and Analysis

GL's DCME Analyzer is ideal for DCME testing, analysis, and verification. The DCME Analyzer connects non-intrusively to the bearer side of DCME equipment. Both real-time and post-processing of the bearer signal is possible. In real-time mode, the status of the bearer including synchronization, bearer loading, fax loading and other statistics are easily monitored. In post processing mode, the entire DCME bearer signal is captured to the PC's hard disk, so the captured file can then be post-analyzed. The data can be displayed to permit bit level analysis and verification of channel mapping and implementation timing of the DCME protocol.

Network Surveillance System

GL's Surveillance System is designed using Open Distributed Architecture. The system is scalable, so that it can be used for various applications like Billing Verification, Fraud Detection, Protocol Analysis, Traffic Engineering, QoS, Call Recording etc. T1/E1 Probes are deployed in the field to monitor various protocols, which are collected at a central site into a database. Various client applications can be developed to interrogate database records. ISDN, SS7, GR-303, V5.x, IS-41, GSM, GPRS, INAP etc. are all supported. The client can access database information remotely, including through Web Browsers.
