Octal/Quad T1 E1 PCI Board

Overview

Comprehensively emulate and analyze voice, data, fax, analog and digital signals, including echo and Voice Quality with GL's Quad and Octal cards. These high performance PCIe cards can send tones and digits, perform bit error rate testing, record and playback traffic over T1 E1 lines and give full visibility into all time slots on all T1 E1 ports. Furthermore, the cards can analyze many common protocols such as ISDN, ATM, HDLC, MTP2, LAPD, SS7, PPP, GSM, GSM Abis, TRAU, and Frame Relay. The Quad and Octal Cards can also emulate these protocols and generate traffic onto the T1 E1 networks. Multiple Quad and Octal cards can be placed in a single server grade PC and controlled from the same software application. This provides the user the ability to monitor many T1 E1 lines and hundreds of DS0s carrying voice and data.

Loopback

Cross-port Through Loopback

Cross-port Through Loopback

This mode is similar to the standard Outward Loopback except that the signal received on Card 1 (Port 1) is transmitted out onto Card 2 (Port 2). Likewise the signal received on Card 2 (Port 2) is transmitted out onto Card 1 (Port 1). This feature allows monitoring T1 E1 lines in-line while still being protected from loss of power to the board. This mode is effected entirely through relays and eliminates complex cabling.

Cross-port Transmit Mode Loopback

Cross-port Transmit Mode Loopback

In this mode, the data that would normally be transmitted on Card 1 (Port 1) is diverted and transmitted on Card 2 (Port 2) and the data that would normally be transmitted on Card 2 (Port 2) is diverted and transmitted on Card 1 (Port 1). The receive paths are completely unaffected. This mode is particularly useful for Drop and Insert and Error Injection applications in which the board analyzes and may insert traffic running between two pieces of T1 E1 equipment. This feature also eliminates complex cabling.
