AB50-001 In Stock

The AB50-001 by Spirent is an Abacus 50 analog subscriber test system designed to accurately emulate analog telephony functionality, this test system serves as a highly efficient analog call generator. It effectively simulates analog telephony subscribers by facilitating the placement and termination of calls. Distinguishing itself from the Abacus 5000 model, the AB50-001 features a smaller form factor and is equipped with two supporting analog ports. This configuration makes it an ideal choice for lower port density laboratory test environments or as a cost-effective solution for remote testing deployments.

The primary objective of the AB50-001 is to enable service providers and enterprises to expedite the time to market for their services while ensuring that they meet the quality expectations of users. To achieve this, the test system provides analog circuits in the form of FXO ports that accurately replicate the subscriber side of an analog two-wire circuit. It operates on a standalone platform, specifically designed for laboratory testing and distributed network usage. By utilizing the distributed testing firmware option, multiple AB50-001 systems can be consolidated and managed as a single system. This simplifies the management process for multiple Abacus 50 systems.

Each channel within the AB50-001 can be configured as an originating or terminating channel, granting users the flexibility to simulate a wide range of applications associated with switch and network testing. This system finds extensive utility in various applications such as PBXs, switches, and central office environments. Its capabilities include generating traffic, measuring round trip delay, verifying correct routing, measuring and tolerating speech path interruptions, conducting true traffic modeling satellite tests, verifying connectivity, and determining capacity. Furthermore, the AB50-001 is highly compatible with voicemail and voice response detection applications, enabling functionalities like transmitting and receiving account codes, generating traffic to leave messages, and replaying and verifying messages.

Network equipment manufacturers can also benefit from the AB50-001, as it facilitates system characterization before trial, validation of system scalability, identification of capacity limits, measurement of call performance, and automation of regression testing. Service providers can leverage this system for vendor selection, identifying performance thresholds, and accurate capacity planning. Noteworthy features of the AB50-001 include two analog FXO ports, a ground start protection switch for ground isolation or ground start functionality, a compact flash memory for storing application programs, and 10/100Base-T Ethernet control with RJ-45 front access. Additionally, the system offers programmable call progress tones and the ability to conduct echo measurements.
