Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) September 18, 2012
GL Communications Inc. announced today the release of its enhanced tProbe with FXO/FXS ports that can also support dual T1 E1 ports, dual datacom ports, dual VF In/Out ports, and an Ethernet port.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Jagdish Vadalia Senior Manager of Product Development for the company said, FXS and FXO are ports used by analog phone lines or phones. A Foreign Exchange Subscriber (FXS) port supplies ring voltage, battery current, dial tone and voice signals. Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) delivers an on-hook/off-hook indication (loop closure), DTMF digits, voice signals, and is usually a phone or fax machine.
He added, The FXO and FXS ports on GLs tProbe unit simulates all of the above features. Also, the FXO port on the tProbe permits non-intrusive capture and analysis of voiceband signals from a two-wire telephone line.
Mr. Vadalia explained, In a typical testing scenario of tProbe FXO Port to Mobile or Landline Phone , the call flow depicts the call from tProbe FXO port to the Landline or Mobile phone through the wall jack FXS, local PBX, and central office of the service provider and base station. With the tProbe FXO call script, one can perform the basic operations during the call setup such as the Off-hook/On-hook, check dial tone, transmit DTMF digits, monitor ring signal, and handling traffic.
In a testing scenario of tProbe FXS Port to a Regular 2-wire Phone, the call flow depicts the call from tProbe FXS port to regular phone (2-wire phone) via RJ-11 cable. This test places the ring to regular phone (2-wire phone), captures the incoming traffic into the file and transmits traffic to the other end. With the tProbe FXS call script, one can perform the basic operations during the call setup such as monitoring Off-hook/On-hook, send dial tone, monitor DTMF digits, send ring signal and handling traffic.
