Start channel can be connected to a T1/E1 FXO Loop Start channel or a T1/E1 Clear
Channel.
Channel Bank Simulation - For T1/E1 FXO Loop Start to the Analog Loop Start, the
POTS channel connects with the T1/E1 FXO Loop Start channel and will pass voice
traffic. This simulates a channel bank.
The T1/E1 Clear Channel to Analog Loop Start setup will allow a channel bank setup
between a POTS port and a T1/E1 clear channel. This allows the Edge to connect to a
T1 port on an SS7 system to provide voice traffic. An external control is required to
provide for SS7 signaling on the equipment under test when establishing a call.
In this configuration, when the POTS phone goes off-hook, the audio path will be
connected to the T1 channel. When the POTS phone goes on-hook the T1 channel
will receive silence. Since the T1 channel is clear channel, there will be no signaling
between the two channels.
Note:
Ringing to the POTS port is not available due to the absence of
signaling in T1 Clear Channel operation.
DS0 to DS0 Control Set
- Connects two channels together with no signaling. The
DS0 to DS0 Control Set only allows the use of a template created for T1/E1 Clear
Channel protocol. This can be done on a Single T1/E1 by connecting a channel to
another channel on the same T1/E1 or on the Dual T1/E1 module, connecting a
channel from the Port 1 T1/E1 to a channel on the Port 2.
Note:
Fractional T1 and T1 data is not supported. Data is only supported at the
DS0 64K channel level to another 64K channel.
User Script Control Sets
For information about User Script control sets, see “Advanced Test Scripting
Software Module (TSP-ATS)” on page 97.
Template Field
The Template list gives the choices of the templates that have been created which can
be used for the Control Set Type chosen. A new template can also be created from
this screen by clicking New (see “Templates” on page 33). Either select a previously
created template from the Template list or create a new template by clicking the New
button.
For End-to-End Control Sets, the Control Set screen shows two template fields
instead of one. This allows you to assign different templates to each of the two
channels that you are connecting, and allows combining T1/E1 and analog channels
within the same control set.
