Micro Seven, Inc., model LS15-1-ETS

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Micro Seven Model LS15-1-ETS, Telephone Line Simulator, provide simulated CO functions of modem and telephone sets testing in engineering, manufacturing, and fields, and emergency telephone equipment. The LS15-1-ETS contains dual frequency call progress tones, 20Hz sine wave ring signal, programmable loop voltage, short primary  or programmable secondary telephone number, caller-ID generation and caller-ID on call-waiting generation for both Bellcore and ETS standards, stutter dial tone, Visual Message Display messages, 1kHz test tone, distinctive ring signals, and many other test tones. The LS15-1-ETS also contains line-impairment mode with extra insertion losses and random noise added for long-distance telephone lines. The programmable parameters include caller-ID name and telephone numbers, privacy/out-of-area, single/multiple message format, date and time, battery voltage of 20 or 40V, and many CW-CID parameters. All the programmable parameters are restored back after the power to LS15-1-ETS is turned. The LS15-1-ETS may also be operated by an external DC source with Car Battery Adapter.  A carrying case, Car Battery Adapter, and 220V version of AC/DC adapter are available as options. The LS15-1-ETS is also equipped with a forced-disconnect feature where disconnect signals are sent to calling and called lines. The duration of the disconnect signal is also programmable. Programmable network response delay simulates time delay after completion of dialing. Simulated PBX mode returns dial tone after dialing 9. The secondary call progress tone generates a single-frequency tone instead of dual-frequency call progress tone. Switching between ETS and Bellcore modes is possible by using control software provided. Caller-ID data transmission during and prior to ringing with CAS and ringing alert signal is supported. DTMF caller-ID transmission during ringing period and prior to ring is also included.

 

SPECIFICATIONS

 

Dialing:

     Telephone numbers:

          1. Primary telephone number: selected by dialing 043 or line1 or 2 as a factory default.

          2. Secondary telephone number: selected by dialing 044.

              A secondary telephone number is same as a calling number in caller-ID.

             Warning: Using secondary telephone number in a privacy mode is prohibited.

              Please read section 4.3 Programming of Caller-ID Parameters for details.

     DTMF dialing signal power: -13dBm to +5dBm per a frequency with no more than 4dB

                                                 difference between frequencies.

     DTMF dialing detection time: 45 ms

     Pulse dialing: Break period: 45 to 75 ms (60 ms nominal)

                            Make period: 30 to 60 ms (40 ms nominal)

 

Simulated PBX Mode:

     By dialing "9", dial tone returns when the Simulated PBX Mode was selected.

     Dialing "0#252*004*" for Simulated PBX Mode with dual frequency call progress tone or

     0#252*012* for Simulated PBX Mode with secondary call progress tone.

     Note that the regular dialing methods work as well here. For example, if the secondary  

     dialing method with a telephone number of  3456789012and the PBX mode are enabled,

     dialing of 3456789012 or 93456789012 would ring the other line. To return to non-PBX

     mode, dial 0#252*000* with dual frequency call progress tone or dial 0#252*008* with

     secondary call progress tone.

 

Line Characteristics:

    Input impedance at 1 k Hz: 600 ohms +/- 5%

    Signal Bandwidth: 150 HZ to 3.5 k HZ

 

Line Impairment Mode:

    When a number of 00 and line-number is dialed, line impairment circuit with additional 20dB

    of insertion loss and -55dBm of random noise are added to signals between line 1 and 2.

    Random noise amplitude is also programmable. Frequency attenuation characteristics and

    envelope delay distortion of signals are not affected.

 

Random noise amplitude programming:

    0#168*nnn*

    The random noise amplitude is set at –55 dBm as a factory default value, but it may be

    changed by the above dialing method. The factory default value is obtained with nnn=011.

    The smaller number, the lower signal power.

     i.e. nnn=176 for –31 dBm, nnn=088 for -37 dBm, nnn=044 for -43 dBm,

     nnn=022 for -49 dBm, nnn=005 for -61 dBm , nnn=000 for -67 dBm of random noise.

 

Non-impairment mode:

    When a number of 09 and a line number is dialed, the insertion loss between

    lines becomes only 1 dB, and the random noise is removed. This is the factory default

    condition.

 

Battery-feed voltage (loop voltage):

    Selection between -20 or -40 volts:

    1. -20 volts mode is selected by dialing 041, and it is a factory default condition.

    2. -40 volts mode is selected by dialing 042. The battery-feed voltage is changed to -20 volt

        mode when called line is ringing or in its off-hook state (answered). When the called line

        hangs up the line, the battery-feed voltage is returned to -40 volts.

  

Ring Signal:

    20 +/- 2% Hz sine wave. Normally 2 sec on 4 sec off with exception of distinctive ringing

    features programmed.

   Amplitude: 67V RMS into open circuit. It is 66 V RMS into RN=0.1, 56 V RMS into RN=0.5,

        48V RMS into RN=1, and 40V RMS into RN=1.7.

        According to the FCC-part 68 rule, the RN=7000/(equivalent resistive value in ohms)

       for ring signal of 20Hz +/- 3%.

   The ring signal at a called line is disabled by dialing *0. To enable back to ringing at a called

   line, dial *0 again.

 

Distinctive ring signal features:

    The following distinctive ringing pattern is enabled instead of standard 2 sec on/ 4 sec off

    ringing pattern:

    (a). Dialing 0 * 1 + (line number): 2 sec on/ 4 sec off   (default condition)

    (b). Dialing 0 * 2 + (line number): 0.8 sec on, 0.4 sec off, 0.8 sec on, 4 sec off

    (c). Dialing 0 * 3 + (line number): 0.4 sec on, 0.2 sec off, 0.4 sec on, 0.2 sec off, 0.8 sec on,

          4 sec off

    (d). Dialing 0 * 4 + (line number): 0.3 sec on, 0.2 sec off, 1 sec on, 0.2 sec off, 0.3 sec on,

           4 sec off

 

Off-hook impedance requirement: 400 ohms maximum DC, 600 ohms nominal AC

 

Call Progress Tones:

    Standard dual-frequency call progress tones: nominal -16 dBm.

        Dial Tone: 350 Hz + 440 Hz, continuous unless programmed for stutter dial tone

        Ring-back Tone: 440 Hz + 480 Hz, 2 sec ON/4 sec OFF.

        Busy Tone: 480 Hz + 620 Hz, 0.5 sec ON/0.5 sec OFF.

        Accuracy in frequency component: +/- 1%.

 

    Secondary Call Progress Tones: (480 Hz +/- 1%)

        Dialing 07 enables the secondary call progress tones. Instead of generating dual

        frequency call progress tones, single-frequency tone of 480 Hz is produced with signal

        power of –18.5 dBm. Dialing 07 switches back to the dual frequency call progress tones.

 

Stutter dial tone:

    Dialing 046 enables stutter dial tone with three of 0.1 seconds on/off period following with

    continuous dial tone.

    Dialing 045 disables the stutter dial tone. It is a factory default condition.

 

Line Input Jacks: USOC-RJ11-C, standard modular phone jacks

 

Power Switch: on when the switch is pushed in, off when the switch is pushed out.

 

Hot Line Mode:

    Dialing 06 enables the Hot Line mode, which calls the other line without dialing a number. To

    return to non-hot-line mode, dial 06 during the first 0.5 seconds right after off-hook.

 

Network response delay:

    Time delay between the end of dialing and ring-signal application is programmable by the

    following dialing:

         0#170*nnn*, where nnn is a 3-digit decimal number between 1 and 255. The time delay is

         determined by 8.6 ms x (nnn-1). The number, nnn, should not be zero.

         The factory default is 0 seconds.

 

Forced called-party disconnect:

    When two lines are connected and one line hangs up, disconnect signal is generated to both

    lines.

 

Programmable disconnect signal:

    The disconnect signal, which is interruption of loop current at the end of call when one line

    hangs up is programmable by the following dialing:

         0#169*nnn*, where nnn is a 3-digit decimal number between 1 and 255. The time delay is

         determined by 8.6 ms x (nnn). The number, nnn, should not be zero.

    The factory default is 320 ms.

 

AC/DC Adapter: 117VAC +/- 5%, or 230VAC +/- 5%(for 220V power option), or 90-250V (international power supply option)

 

AC/DC Adapter or Car Battery Adapter input (also as a battery charger): 12VDC

    unregulated, 800mA maximum

2. ETS mode: Frequencies: 1300 Hz +/- 2 Hz, 2100Hz +/- 5Hz

 

DTMF caller-ID signals:

During ringing and prior to ringing transmission in ETS standard is supported. The DTMF transmission starts “D (caller’s telephone number) C”. The timing of DTMF on period and off period is programmable.

 

Programmable parameters for caller-ID:

 

    01 + Date + Time, i.e. 0106011230 for 12:30 A.M., June1.

 

    02 + (line number) + (telephone number), i.e. 0225035551212 to assign 5035551212 for

       line 2. The programmed number is the same as the secondary telephone number.

       A caller-ID display with a re-dial feature can dial a calling line.

 

    02 + (line number) + *, to assign private status.

        Caution: The caller-ID number, which is secondary telephone number, will be destroyed by

           setting privacy mode; therefore, the caller-ID number must be reprogrammed again.

 

    02 + (line number) + #, to assign out-of-area status.

        Caution: The caller-ID number, which is secondary telephone number, will be destroyed by

            this action; therefore, the caller-ID number must be reprogrammed again.

 

 

    03 + (line number) + (3-digit ASCII)*(3-digit ASCII)*------

        i.e. 0 3 1 0 7 7 * 0 7 3 * 0 6 7 * 0 8 2  * 0 7 9 *0  ------- to assign MICRO--- for line 1 name.

        All characters must be entered to program a complete name. ASCII equivalent of

Caller-ID transmission methods

 

LS15-1-ETS supports the following caller-ID transmission methods, and each transmission method may be selected by the control software:

1.FSK Data Transmission during ringing (standard feature that is described throughout this manual). (ETS 300 659-1, 6.1.1)

2. FSK Data Transmission prior to ringing

(a)   Dual Tone Alerting Signal (DT-AS) (ETS300 659-1, 6.1.2 (a))

Tone consisting of 2130 Hz and 2750 Hz is generated in front of FSK data followed by ringing.

(b)   Ringing Pulse Alerting Signal (RP-AS) (ETS300 659-1, 6.1.2 (b))

     Short ringing is generated in front of FSK data followed by regular ringing.

 

In addition to the above transmission method, FSK Data Transmission not associated with ringing with DT-AS signal, ETS300 659-1, 6.2 (a) may be produced by selecting the above FSK Data Transmission prior to ringing by using control software and disable ring signal by using control software also.
