Phone line simulators
act like a phone company central office. They can give you flexibility and lower
your costs when you are demonstrating or testing most any type of phone product.
Voice, fax, answering systems, modems, or video conferencing units
recognize simulators as real phone lines, making them ideal for trade shows,
customer sites, or the work bench.
This sophisticated
device can be used to test or demonstrate any standard telephone, answering
machine, fax unit, voice mail system, or modem. Due to its exceptionally clear
talk path, you can be assured of high quality voice transmissions as well as
reliable data connections using PC modems.
Telephone equipment
connected to the test system behaves as if it were connected to a real telephone
line. For example, a connected telephone produces dial
tone. Dialing a local (seven digit) or long distance (eleven digit) phone
number with a touch tone phone rings
a device plugged into the test line. Busy
signals and reorder tones are also heard as with a standard phone line.
These various call progress tones follow the popular North American
specifications.
Ring-It! now offers Caller-ID
emulation. It is provided in North American single message (number
only) and multiple message (name and number) formats. One of five
pre-programmed sample names can be sent and the displayed directory number is
easily chosen when you make the call. Best of all, there are no PC connections
or computer assisted programming necessary to configure the Caller-ID message
formats.
Another new Ring-It!
feature allows it to operate as a E-911 training system. This is
perfect for 911 teaching applications. Now your students can easily
practice using the telephone during a simulated emergency. Just add a
couple of standard telephones; one is designated as the emergency
"operator" position and your students use the other to make the
"911" practice calls. They will hear real sounding dial tone and
ringing, and the phone's bell will ring in an urgent sounding (stuttered)
pattern. If you use it with a Caller-ID box then "Emergency 911"
is displayed too!
A handy new feature
is the External Audio output jack. You can connect an amplified
speaker system and allow everyone to hear the active phone call. This is
ideal for training and demonstration applications. The buffered audio signal is
a standard one volt level and is compatible with many PC style multimedia
speaker systems.
An LED type digital
readout is used to display the DTMF digits that were dialed, so you can even
verify operation of TouchTone type push-button phones. You can choose between
five different test modes that allow standard telephone line emulation or
special repetitive cycle testing, including automatic ring-up. For extra
convenience, the LED readout shows the test mode that's in-use.
An internal 20-Hz
ring generator uses digital precision to ensure that any kind of telephone
equipment can be rung. The ring circuit uses a superimposed 90 VAC voltage
source like the phone company's to maintain compatibility with all popular
telephone products. The 28VDC talk path voltage is current limited to prevent
damage to sensitive equipment such as PCMCIA modem cards.
