What Is It?
The Fortissimo is an analog network load generator that
simulates telephony subscribers placing
calls into the network
including the ability to generate/receive FAX call traffic. The
unit gives the
user flexibility to serve a wide range of
applications associated with switch and network testing.
Ideally
suited to allow the user to develop a test environment with the
ability to test highly
complex call scenarios and interactive
applications under high call loads on hundreds of lines
simultaneously in a dedicated lab environment
What Does It Do?
The Ameritec Fortissimo has the ability to simulate high volumes
of subscriber calls. This high
volume of bulk call generation
can be combined with complex call testing capability. Through
the
use of user defined call scripts and line protocols, users
can tailor test scenarios to meet a wide
range of testing
requirements.
Subscribers can be simulated on 50 loop start circuits and
support up to 32 FAX calls. FAX
traffic requires the use of the NLG-FRM unit.
How Does It Work?
The actions of each simulated subscriber are independently
controlled through unique parameter
fields defined in user
programmed Call Scripts. Call Scripts include capabilities for
testing
signaling, dialing, Voice over Packet, QoS (GMOS, G-PSQM,
R-Factor) digit decoding, tone
sending, path verification, and
tone receive. The Scripts define calling patterns and can
simulate
practically any action a live caller can perform.
Scripts can also simulate multiple subscribers
allowing testing
of multiple-party calls such as conference calling.
The Ameritec Conductor GUI, a Windows® based
Graphical User Interface, allows the user to
create test
systems. The user is now able to create a battery of tests,
create traffic profiles, load
test cases, view test results and
create reports.
With the addition of the Ameritec XpresScript the
user is able to develop sophisticated test
scripts by simply
drawing the test sequence. Call Scripts are easily developed by
dragging,
dropping and interconnecting icons to create a
graphical Call Flow Diagram. This Call Flow
Diagram can easily
be loaded into the Fortissimo using the Conductor.
What Can It Test?
Applications that previously were
too costly to test automatically can now be easily automated
with the Fortissmo.
