industry standard IEC three prong connector so that almost any international power plug can be
used.

Operating System Requirements
The PC Configuration software will operate on Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT. The
following minimum disk storage capacities are required for the basic installation and storage of
saved files:
6 Mb required on the disk with the Windows operating system
4 Mb required on the disk the application is installed on
7 Mb additional required to install the Adobe Acrobat reader
Connections
Configuring and control of the TSP can be done with either a serial connection to a PC or with an
Ethernet connection directly to a PC or to a LAN. It is necessary to use the serial connection to
initially program the IP for the Ethernet connection.
Important When using the T1/E1 module in T1-PRI mode, the network connection must be used for
programming and control; the serial connection is not allowed. This allows for enhanced
messaging during PRI operation.
Serial connection
The connection is an RJ-11 port using an RJ-14 standard on the TSP chassis, mating to a DB-9
or DB-25 connector (on the PC) and supports control leads Tx Data, Rx Data, and Ground. Refer
to Figure 2 for cable pinouts. Refer to Figure 3 for port connections.
Important Initial programming of the TSP must be done with this connection

Ethernet connection
The network connection is a 10/100 base T using an RJ-45 connector. This connection is
necessary for downloading voice messages and software updates to the TSP. The Ethernet cable
provided is a cross-over cable and is only used when connecting directly to a PC. Refer to Figure
4 for cable pinouts. Refer to Figure 3 for port connections. See Network Connection in the Units
section for more details.

Configuring the TSP Hardware/Software
Module Interface Matrix (Required Set-up)
Table 1 Module Interface Matrix
Slot count is 1-4 from left to right when looking at the back of the TSP.
Modules must be installed per the matrix before the TSP is powered on. Call setup scenarios that
are configured via the PC software are dependent upon the order in which modules are installed.
For example, configurations that are created when slot 2 has a T1/E1 module installed and slot 3
has a POTS module installed, will not be recognized as valid if the modules are moved to
different positions. Therefore it is always necessary to follow the required installation order
specified above. The TSP will give an error if the modules are not installed as required in the
matrix.
Basic Hardware setup
Before applying power to the TSP, install the optional modules per the matrix. Ensure they are
securely seated. Connect the CommPort cable (RJ-11 jack at both ends) to the unit at the jack
labeled Console. Connect the other end to the PC using the DB-9 or DB-25 adapter. For the
Ethernet connection, use the provided crossover cable (RJ-45 at both ends) if connecting directly
to the PC. If connecting to the network, a standard Ethernet cable will be needed.
Important Before installing or removing a POTS module, connect a telephone set to any port of any POTS
module, power down the unit, and then go off-hook on the telephone set. This allows for voltage
dissipation from the base unit and prevents damage to the unit. An alternative procedure is to
power down the TSP for at least 30 minutes before installing or removing the module.
Power up the TSP
Before power-up ensure that the modules are seated firmly in the TSP to prevent damage.
The TSP uses a universal power supply that operates from 90 to 250 VAC, 43 to 63 Hz. Connect
the power cord and turn on the unit using the switch on the back of the unit.
Note: Grounding is assured by using the appropriate (approved) power cord.

Note 2: If using both a 4-Channel POTS and a 8-Channel POTS module, Teltone recommends placing the 4-Channel POTS module in
Slot 2 and the 8-Channel POTS module in Slot 3.
Note 3: A Single- or Dual-T1/E1 module can be used but only the second port of a Dual-T1/E1 module will be active if more than one
POTS module is installed. Port 1 of a Dual-T1/E1 module will be disabled.

The green status LED on the front panel will indicate the status of the system. The LED should be
solid green. If the LED fails to light, disconnect power immediately and contact Teltone Technical
Support at 425-951-3390.
Important Adequate airflow must be maintained in order for the unit to operate correctly. Do not wrap the
unit in blankets, paper or other material that may impede ventilation.
Software Installation Instructions
The TSP software is supplied on a CD-ROM disk and uses the common Windows setup routine.
Ensure you have the latest version (Version 2.5 at the time this was written) by going to the
Teltone web site, and verifying the version available under Software Downloads for the TSP or
call Technical Support 425-951-3390.
An autorun facility will initiate the installation process automatically when the CD-ROM is installed
into the disk drive. An alternative method to perform the installation is to insert the CD-ROM, then
select START, RUN, BROWSE, then choose your CD-ROM drive, and the file labeled
SETUP.EXE. Follow the on screen instructions.
Important It will be necessary to obtain an Authorization Code from Teltone Customer Service after the first
Unit is created with the configuration software to enable testing with the TSP. Once the
Authorization Code is installed, the TSP can be used with any PC using the current configuration
software version. See Authorization Code in the Units section for complete instructions.
For information about the current and previous versions of the software, see page 78.
Operational Strategy
The TSP uses a GUI based configuration software program that allows a user to define the TSP
using Units,Templates,Control Sets, and Options. These parameters are saved as a Project
found on the File menu.
The Unit definition defines the communications interface, the installed hardware and some
generic definitions of each module. The Templates define the channel operating characteristics
and timings. The Control Set definition defines the group(s) of individual channels and their
interactions. Once these items have been defined, a Control Set button will appear. When a
Control Set Enables button is selected, this begins the running of the particular application.
Quick Start
Configuration of the TSP via the Windows GUI is very flexible and allows the user to configure the
TSP in a straightforward manner. This section is to assist in configuring the TSP in minimal time
but is not intended to take the place of the rest of the manual. The basic process for setting up
the unit is described in the following subsections.
Hardware and Software Setup
1. Install the modules as required per the Module Interface Matrix section.
2. Connect the Serial and Ethernet cables according to the Basic Hardware Setup section.
Note The Ethernet connection is not necessary unless you are prompted that newer code is available
or you are using audio files. See Step 5 in “Units Configuration” if needed.
3. Ensure the modules are firmly seated and connect the power cord to the unit per the Power
up the TSP section. Turn on the TSP.
4. Follow the Software Installation Instructions section of the manual.
Configuring the TSP/Hardware and Software
40-400-00049, Rev. J Page 9

5. Launch the Telecom Simulation Platform software.
6. Verify you are using the latest version of the configuration software (Version 2.5 at the time
this was written), by opening the program, going to the Help menu and choosing About TSP.
Confirm the latest version available by going to the Teltone web site at www.teltone.com, and
verifying the version under Software Downloads for the TSP or call Technical Support
425-951-3390.
Units Configuration
1. Choose New on the Units menu and name the TSP. The Units screen will default to Serial
connection.
2. Choose the CommPort of the PC that the TSP is connected to by clicking the arrow next to
None.
3. Use the Query Card Types button on the screen to set the program to match the cards that
are installed in the TSP.
4. Click OK on the Units screen. At this point, you will need to obtain an authorization code
before testing can be done with the TSP. Refer to the Authorization Code section of the
manual for instructions or call Teltone Corporation. (See step 6 in “Hardware and Software
Setup.”)
5. If you are prompted that "Newer code is available" choose No and follow the instructions in
the Software Updates section of the manual. Otherwise go to the next step.
6. Re-open the Units screen by going to the Unit menu and clicking the name given the unit at
the bottom of the drop-down menu.
Module Configuration
1. If a T1/E1 module is not being used skip to step 3. If using a T1/E1 module, click on the Slot
that corresponds to the position the card is installed on the Units screen and choose the Card
Mode by clicking the arrow. A T1 or E1 tab will appear which is used to set the parameters
accordingly for the equipment being tested.
Note: T1-PRI Card Mode is an optional software module that can be purchased to enable the TSP for
this mode.
2. If you are not using T1-PRI, skip to the next step. If using T1-PRI mode, a PRI tab will
appear. Set the appropriate Switch Type and the Simulation, which is the end the TSP will be
simulating.
3. Configure the Channels tab for the T1/E1 and POTS modules on each slot. This is for setting
the optional (but not necessary, depending on the type of testing) Channel Configuration.
Each channel can be assigned a Phone Number (T1, E1 and POTS), Transmit Digits (i.e.
ANI and DNIS for T1 and E1), and Audio Message (the Network Connection must be
established). For T1-PRI, Subaddress,Called Number and Calling Number features are
available. See Channels Tab in the Units section of manual for more details.
Note: The first number of the channel configuration corresponds to the slot the module is in. Each
physical port (or connector) in the module to which you connect equipment is the second
assigned number. The third number corresponds to the actual channel. Each "port" can have
one or more "channels". For instance, each T1 port has 24 channels. On an 8 channel POTS
module, each of the four ports has two channels (i.e., each connector has two analog phone
lines).
4. The Wizard button can be used to assign values to all the channels at once. See Channel
Configuration Wizard for more details.
5. Click OK to exit the Units screen.
Telecom Simulation Platform
Page 10

Templates Configuration
1. Create Templates to configure the types of channels based on the modules being used (i.e.
Analog Loop Start template for POTS and T1 Wink Start template for T1/E1 modules). The
template will be associated with the channels to be tested when a Control Set is created.
Templates are created by going to the Templates menu and clicking New. (See the
Templates section, Type Tab for a list of protocols.)
2. Click the Channel Protocol arrow for a list of available protocols. Analog Loop Start is only
used for the POTS module. Create a template for the T1/E1 module and use the appropriate
T1 protocol (i.e. T1 Wink Start). Start by using the defaults for all the fields on the template.
Control Sets Configuration
1. Create a new “Control Set” by going to the Control Set menu and clicking New. A "Control
Set" tells the TSP how to function. This is where the individual channels are assigned to
Templates. Multiple Control Sets are allowed in a single TSP for greater flexibility.
2. Select the type of Control Set by clicking the Call Originate arrow. Calls made using the TSP
are defined as follows:
·Call Originate - calls placed by the TSP to a connected device. The TSP will play a WAV file
after the call is connected if selected on the Channels tab on the Units screen.
·Call Terminate - calls placed into the TSP by a connected device. The TSP will play a WAV
file after the call is connected if selected on the Channels tab on the Units screen.
The four control set types below are End-to-End, which are calls placed through the TSP by a
connected device to another device. See End-to-End Control Sets section for more details.
·Dialed - You have the choice of using one or two templates. Any channel within this control
set can call to any other channel within the control set by dialing the telephone number
assigned on the Channels tab of the Units screen.
Note: When using the Dialed control set type, the Templates used will need to be edited to use the
Dialed Default Timing Set on the Type tab. Go to the Template menu and choose the name
at the bottom of the drop down menu to edit.
·Switch Emulation - connecting one channel to another. This connection is scripted and
occurs automatically once a call is initiated by an off-hook or a seizure.
·Channel Bank - T1/E1 FXO LS to Analog LS or T1/E1 Clear Channel to Analog LS are the
only protocols that can be used.
·DS0 to DS0 - T1/E1 Clear Channel Operation is the only protocol available.
3. Assign the Templates previously created to be used with the channels tested. Click the
Templates arrow on the Control Set screen and choose the Template names. Call Originate
and Call Terminate will only have one Template field while all other control sets have two
fields.
4. On the same screen, the channels are assigned by clicking the Edit Channels button. A
Channel Assignment screen will appear and the Available Channels will be listed on the left
side of the screen. Select the channels to be tested by moving them from the left window to
the right window. Click OK and you will be returned to the Control Sets screen. See Channel
Assignments section for more details.
Note: The Switch Emulation, Channel Bank and DS0 to DS0 control set types require the channels to
be paired side by side on the right side of the screen. The channel initiating the call will
automatically be connected to the channel it is paired with.
5. Program the Start and Stop times, if applicable. Once steps 3 through 6 are completed, click
the OK button. This will return you to the main TSP screen. See the Controls Sets section for
more details on Steps 1 through 5.
Configuring the TSP/Hardware and Software
40-400-00049, Rev. J Page 11

6. Once the Control Sets have been defined, you can run your simulation by enabling it with the
Control Set Enables button from the main TSP screen.
Simulation Types
The three basic types of calls are End-to-End, Call Originate, and Call Terminate. End-to-End
calls are similar to calls placed through any switch. Calls are originated on one end and are
terminated on the other end. However, in some applications, you may want to simulate incoming
traffic to a connected device, these calls are originated from within the TSP. You may also want
to monitor outgoing traffic from a connected device, these calls are Terminated into the TSP.
End-to-End Calls
End-to-End calls are ones where one channel is connected to another. They are initiated by an
external device connected to the TSP, attempting to make a connection to another external
device. For example, calling from one modem to another on a pair of POTS connections, or from
a POTS connection to a T1 modem bank for V.90 modem testing. A T1/E1 Clear Channel
application is where a single channel operates as a 64 KB/s pipe, with no framing or control bits
in the data stream. The channel is cross-connected to another T1/E1 Clear Channel via the
Control Set. Dialed, Channel Bank, DS0 to DS0 (for Clear Channel operation only) and Switch
Emulation are the types of End-to-End Control Sets used by the TSP.

Figure 11 Analog LS to Analog LS End-to-End
The TSP connects an Analog Loop Start channel to another Analog Loop Start channel.
Call Originate and Call Terminate
The TSP generates calls to the equipment under test in Call Originate mode. Call Terminate
mode is where the TSP receives calls from the equipment under test. In both cases, the TSP will
count the calls, and display the calls as completed, unanswered, or busy in the event log. Once
the calls are established; a WAV file can be programmed to play to indicate that a call has taken
place.

Figure 12 T1/E1, Call Originate and Call Terminate Diagram
With Call Originate mode, the TSP generates calls on the channels of a T1/E1 line to the
equipment under test. With a Dual T1/E1 module, the calls can be generated on both T1/E1’s
simultaneously. Call Terminate mode is where the TSP receives calls from the equipment under
test on the channels of the T1/E1 lines.
Figure 13 Analog Loop Start, Call Originate and Call Terminate
For the POTS channels the TSP generates calls to term set in Call Originate mode. Call
Terminate mode is where the TSP receives calls from the term set.
Bulk Call Generation
Call Originate mode can be used for Bulk Call Generation. Bulk Call Generation are calls that
originate within the TSP, simulating call traffic, terminating at an external device, often with some
audio file playback when the external device answers. This can be used to “stress test” the
equipment under test.
Installation Tests
The TSP can emulate the PSTN and be terminated to a PBX via a T1/E1 circuit or multiple POTS
connections. This allows for testing PBX programming and functionality before live traffic is cut
over to it.
