  • Page 7: Overview

    Overview The Teltone TSP (Telecom Simulation Platform) is a combined hardware and software platform used to simulate connections to different telephony interfaces. These include T1, E1, and Analog POTS, and in the future, other interfaces. The AC power input is universal, accepting 90 to 250 VAC, from 43 to 63 Hz.

  • Page 8: Hardware Options

    AC operating power must be within 90 to 250 Volts AC and the operating frequency from 43 to 63 Hz. A standard North American plug is provided with the unit, although the TSP base unit uses an industry standard IEC three prong connector so that almost any international power plug can be used.

  • Page 31: Channels Tab

    Programming the TSP Channels Tab The Channels tab is where each channel can be assigned a Phone Number, Transmit Digits (T1/E1 only) and Audio Message. The Channel Configuration gives the channel an assignment number based on the name the unit was given, the slot number the module is in, the port (each physical connector on a card is considered a port and is numbered on the card), and the logical channel (1-24 on a T1, 1-30 on an E1, 1-2 on an 8 Channel POTS and only 1 on a 4 Channel POTS).
