Overview:
Signaling bits associated with voice channels carry routing information to direct the data to its destination. Channel Associated
Signaling (CAS) is a method of signaling each channel or timeslot. This is referred to as "in-band" signaling. Various types of CAS
signaling methods include Loopstart , Groundstart , FGD and Winkstart along with E1 MFCR2.
GL's CAS simulator is a client-side application that works along with the GL's T1/E1 Analyzer. It can simulate and analyze any user
user-defined CAS protocols by providing signaling bit transitions and forward/backward frequency tones/digits. In order to easily
create the user-defined CAS scripts, the CAS simulator includes a script editor. This tool allows easy point and click operation for
building simple as well as complex CAS scripts.
Multiple user-defined protocols may be defined for each of the digital T1/E1 trunks associated with the GL analysis boards. In
addition to generating/receiving CAS calls, the CAS simulator also processes the receipt of Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS)
and Automatic Number Identification (ANI) information.
Supported Protocols:
- E1 MFC-R2 (All variants, fully/semi compelled)
- T1 Winkstart (R1 wink)
- T1 Loopstart and T1 Groundstart
- E1 European Digital CAS (EUC)
- Any User-Defined CAS Protocol
Main Features:
- Accesses the T1 (or E1) analyzer remotely
- Supports called number and calling number identification
- Customized signaling for each channel through scripts
Call Generation/Reception with Signaling Status
In addition to receiving and placing calls, CAS Simulator also processes the receipt of Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS)
and automatic number identification (ANI) information, which is used to support authentication and other functions. The screenshots
to the right display the manual call generation, and number identification functions performed by GL's CAS Simulator.
Script Editor
The GL CAS Simulator script is based on a self-describable language that can define the behavior of CAS Call Control procedure.
Functions such as Place Call, Answer Call, Incoming Call, Disconnect call are all defined within the script. Additionally more advanced
script may also be defined in the script. Definitions for Signalling Bit Transitions and forward/backward digits/tones are user definable
within each script.
Capture Events
The events screen chronologically lists all of the CAS State Machine signaling bit transitions generated by each timeslot of each
trunks. These transitions can be directed to an ASCII file is real-time or after they have appeared in the events list
Flash Hook
The application also provides a way for the users to send a Flash Hook signal in line manually. Users can vary Flash Hook On
Signal (0-F), Flash Hook Off Signal (0-F) and Flash Hook Interval (ms) for a given timeslot.
MFC-R2 Analysis and Emulation
GL's MFCR2 Analysis & Emulation solutions use any of the following hardware:
T1E1 Analyzer (Potable USB or HD PCI cards) Or
DCOSS (Digital Central Office Switch Simulator)
Both the products supports remote capture & analysis using client-server technology,while DCOSS is ideal for simulating and testing
advanced
telecom networks and products, including switches, gateways, and transmission systems. Click
