GL Conveys the Availability of Signaling System 7 (SS7) Protocol Simulation using Digital Central Office Switch Simulator (DCOSS)

Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of Signaling System 7 (SS7) Protocol simulation using Digital Central Office Switch Simulator (DCOSS).

Speaking to media persons, Mr. Robert Bichefsky Senior Manager of the company said, The Digital Central Office Switch Simulator (DCOSS) offers the capability of simulating Signaling System 7 (SS7) digital protocol. DCOSS SS7 utilizes a user-friendly GUI in which the complex SS7 configuration can easily be created, thus allowing DCOSS SS7 to be fully functional within a few minutes.

He added, DCOSS SS7 also incorporates the flexibility to modify SS7 parameters, both at the MTP and ISUP/TUP layers as well as the ISUP/TUP message content. This flexibility ensures that the DCOSS SS7 will communicate with the system under test.

Mr. Bichefsky further added, Configuring DCOSS SS7 is quite simple, even for the most complex requirements. The DCOSS SS7 utilizes a GUI that provides the user with all required SS7 parameters. These parameters may be saved to the DCOSS database, after modification, for later retrieval.

GL Announces Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) Protocol Emulator

Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) January 08, 2013

GL Communications Inc. announced today the release of its latest product Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) Protocol Emulator.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Jagdish Vadalia Senior Manager for product development said, Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) is a method of signaling where a channel or timeslot carrying speech also carries with it the signaling and addressing to set up and tear down calls. The supervisory signaling is carried as onhook or offhook. The addressing is carried as DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) or as MF (Multi Frequency). This form of signaling is still used to route calls on the public switched telephone network (PSTN) including subscriber lines like 2wire local loops, on trunks between central offices (CO), and on access trunks such as PBXs. Typical CAS signaling methods are: Loop Start, Wink Start, R1, MFC-R2, SS5, and other variants of these methods.

He added, CAS emulation has been added to GL’s Message Automation and Protocol Simulation (MAPS) platform. MAPS is a protocol simulation and conformance test tool that supports a variety of protocols such as SIP, MEGACO, MGCP, SS7, ISDN, GSM, MAP, CAS, LTE, UMTS, SS7 SIGTRAN, ISDN SIGTRAN, SIP I, GSM AoIP, Diameter and many others.

MAPS CAS Emulator is a client-side application that works along with GLs T1 E1 Analyzer Cards and Windows Client/Server software. This test tool is used to perform testing using CAS signaling and transmission and detection of TDM traffic over T1 E1 using scripts, and offers a complete solution for testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance of devices and networks implementing CAS. MAPS CAS Emulator automates the testing procedure with ready scripts for inbound and outbound calls. Calls are established, once the signaling information such as signaling bits, DTMF/MF digits, or Tones are sent or detected.

Mr.Vadalia further added, MAPS CAS Emulator supports powerful utilities like Profile Editor and Script Editor, which allow new scenarios to be created or existing scenarios to be modified for CAS Signaling. The test configuration window allows users to configure various CAS signaling types including R1 digit parameters, flow control parameters, forward/ backward tone parameters and various others to transmit and receive CAS inbound and outbound signals. MAPS also supports a Command Line Interface (CLI) such as the Python, TCL (Tool Command Language) scripting tools, to provide the capability of remote operation, automation, and multi-site connectivity.
