What Is It?
The Fortissimo is an analog network load generator that
simulates telephony subscribers placing
calls into the network.
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 100 loop start circuits.
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.
