Testing in Simulation Mode - Section 1

Simulation on a Primary Rate link

On a Primary Rate link you can use aurora

Sonata

to emulate

Terminal Equipment (a TE) or a Network Termination (NT).

Terminating the link

When using aurora

Sonata

for simulation on a Primary Rate link

you must set its resistor to 75

or 120

to suit the equipment

to which you are connecting. For instructions, see

Terminating

a Primary Rate link

in Chapter 3 section 1.

Emulating a TE on a PRI link

You would use aurora

Sonata

to emulate a TE on a PRI link:

•

to determine whether a TE is faulty

•

to check the line reliability (e.g. using BERT)

•

during line provisioning or maintenance, to test

the line configuration, line quality and the
availability of channels and ISDN services

•

to check any subscribed supplementary services

Emulating an NT on a PRI link

When you emulate an NT at the S interface you are using
aurora

Sonata

to replace the NT and the ISDN. You can use this:

•

when installing a TE—you can make test calls

to aurora

Sonata

instead of the ISDN

•

during line installation

•

when troubleshooting a TE—to check if there

is an fault with the ISDN.

When emulating an NT, aurora

Sonata

sends ringing tones to the

TE in the same way as an exchange would do.
