5.
Launch the Telecom Simulation Platform software.
6.
Verify you are using the latest version of the configuration software (Version 2.5 at the time
this was written), by opening the program, going to the
Help
menu and choosing
About TSP
.
Confirm the latest version available by going to the Teltone web site at www.teltone.com, and
verifying the version under Software Downloads for the TSP or call Technical Support
425-951-3390.
Units Configuration
1.
Choose
New
on the
Units
menu and name the TSP. The
Units
screen will default to Serial
connection.
2.
Choose the
CommPort
of the PC that the TSP is connected to by clicking the arrow next to
None
.
3.
Use the
Query Card Types
button on the screen to set the program to match the cards that
are installed in the TSP.
4.
Click
OK
on the
Units
screen. At this point, you will need to obtain an authorization code
before testing can be done with the TSP. Refer to the Authorization Code section of the
manual for instructions or call Teltone Corporation. (See step 6 in “Hardware and Software
Setup.”)
5.
If you are prompted that "Newer code is available" choose
No
and follow the instructions in
the Software Updates section of the manual. Otherwise go to the next step.
6.
Re-open the
Units
screen by going to the
Unit
menu and clicking the name given the unit at
the bottom of the drop-down menu.
Module Configuration
1.
If a T1/E1 module is not being used skip to step 3. If using a T1/E1 module, click on the Slot
that corresponds to the position the card is installed on the
Units
screen and choose the
Card
Mode
by clicking the arrow. A T1 or E1 tab will appear which is used to set the parameters
accordingly for the equipment being tested.
Note:
T1-PRI Card Mode
is an optional software module that can be purchased to enable the TSP for
this mode.
2.
If you are not using T1-PRI, skip to the next step. If using T1-PRI mode, a
PRI
tab will
appear. Set the appropriate
Switch Type
and the
Simulation
, which is the end the TSP will be
simulating.
3.
Configure the
Channels
tab for the T1/E1 and POTS modules on each slot. This is for setting
the optional (but not necessary, depending on the type of testing) Channel Configuration.
Each channel can be assigned a
Phone Number
(T1, E1 and POTS),
Transmit Digits
(i.e.
ANI and DNIS for T1 and E1), and
Audio Message
(the Network Connection must be
established). For T1-PRI,
Subaddress
,
Called Number
and
Calling Number
features are
available. See Channels Tab in the Units section of manual for more details.
Note:
The first number of the channel configuration corresponds to the slot the module is in. Each
physical port (or connector) in the module to which you connect equipment is the second
assigned number. The third number corresponds to the actual channel. Each "port" can have
one or more "channels". For instance, each T1 port has 24 channels. On an 8 channel POTS
module, each of the four ports has two channels (i.e., each connector has two analog phone
lines).
4.
The
Wizard
button can be used to assign values to all the channels at once. See Channel
Configuration Wizard for more details.
5.
Click OK to exit the Units screen.
