What Is It?
The Fortissimo is a network load generator that simulates
telephony subscribers placing calls
into the network by connecting through the IP telephone set.
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 48, 4-wire handset/headset
circuits via software selectable
parameters.
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.
- Telephone to Telephone Quality
of Service Testing
- 3rd Generation Voice Over
Packet Systems
- Etc.
