Ameritec’s AM2 Niagara

®

family of products is

comprised of fully self-contained portable test
instruments designed to meet the rigid demands of
today’s telephony applications developer in both
laboratory and field applications. The AM2 Niagara,
simply put, makes telephone calls -- and lots of them!
Each AM2 Niagara unit allows interfacing to
different line types. One model interfaces to Analog
POTS lines, another to Analog P-Phones lines, others
to T1, E1, PRI, BRI, and SS7. The AM2 Niagara
allows users to develop a test environment with the
ability to test highly complex call scenarios.

AM2-A Analog Call Generator

provides physical interfaces for
64 analog line and 160 total lines
with the AM2E-A Expansion unit.

AM2-P P-Phone Call Generator

provides the physical interface
for 32 EBS lines.

AM2-B Basic Rate ISDN

Call Generator provides physical
interfaces for 32 BRI/BRA
ISDN U-Interface (2B1Q) lines.

AM2-D/De T1/E1 Digital Call

Generators provide physical interfaces
for four 1.544 Mbps T1 CAS trunks
or four 2.048 Mbps E1 CAS trunks.

AM2-DX/DXe Primary Rate

ISDN Call Generators provide physical
interfaces for four 1.544 Mbps T1
CCS trunks or four 2.048 Mbps
E1 CCS trunks.

AM2-S7/S7e SS7 Call Generators

provide physical interfaces for one to
four 1.544 Mbps T1 CCS trunks or
2.048 Mbps E1 CCS trunks and
supports up to eight SS7
signaling links.

AM2 Niagara units are ideally suited for testing complex, interactive

applications under high call loads on dozens of lines simultaneously in the field
or a dedicated lab environment.

Applications that previously were too costly to test automatically can be easily

automated with the AM2 Niagara.

Such test applications include:

Central Office or PBX Switches and Networks

Voice Over Packet (VoFR, VoIP) Systems

Intelligent Network (IN) applications

Voice Mail systems

Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) systems and applications

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) systems

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems

Paging systems

Each AM2 Niagara can simulate one to hundreds of telephony subscribers. The

actions of each simulated subscriber are independently controlled through
unique parameter fields defined in user programmed Call Scripts.

Scripts define calling patterns and can simulate practically any action a live

caller can perform. Scripts also simulate multiple subscribers allowing testing
of multiple-party calls such as conference calling.

Signaling: All interface specific signaling functions supported through
Call Scripts and user programmable signaling protocols.

Dialing: Multiple unlimited length dial strings, multiple dialing types,
including in-band end-to-end signaling (e.g. DTMF digits for interactive
applications).

Digit decoding: Decode in-band DTMF or MF digits.

Tone Send: Send pre-programmed single frequency tones.

Tone Receive: Detect any single frequency tone.

Path Verification: Comprehensive two-way verification of multiple party
voice and data path connections via in-band sequences, BERT patterns,
X.25 packet data, or packet drop detection (VoP).

Voice Replay: Optional feature allowing replay of pre-recorded audio
samples on demand.

ADSI: Optional feature permits the testing of caller ID functionality.

Delays: Event-to-Event delay measurements, round trip delays (VoP).

Testing Your Applications

Test configurations can, via Ameritec’s FeatureCall

GUI, control up to 32 AM2 Niagara’s via an Ethernet

®

TCP/IP LAN.

Through the use of user defined call scripts and line

protocols, users can tailor test scenarios to meet a
wide range of testing requirements. Whether the
testing demand is focused on development, production
testing, quality assurance or regression testing, the
AM2 Niagara family provides the flexibility to satisfy
your testing needs.

Capabilities in Call Scripts include:

The AM2 Niagara has the flexibility to serve a wide range of telephony testing requirements including both

switch and network testing applications, in a captive lab or as a fully self-contained test tool. Whether your
application calls for a single interface, or for multiple physical interfaces, the AM2 Niagara family
provides a configuration that will meet or exceed your needs.
