Adtech Boosts ATM SVC Signalling Capacity; Adtech Broadband Test System Now Supports up to 160,000 Simultaneous SVC Calls.HONOLULU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 1998--Adtech, Inc. announced a new option to increase the ATM SVC (1) (Switched Virtual Circuit) A network connection that is established at the time the transmission is required and disconnected when the session is completed. signalling test capacity of its AX/4000 Broadband Test System to 20,000 simultaneous calls per port or 160,000 calls per eight-port chassis. Previously the system supported 2,000 simultaneous calls per port. The SVC signalling feature enables AX/4000 Generator/Analyzer modules to perform signalling emulation (architecture) emulation - When one system performs in exactly the same way as another, though perhaps not at the same speed. A typical example would be emulation of one computer by (a program running on) another. and analysis, ATM quality of service (QoS) testing of SVCs, and call loading tests on the ATM switches and networks. "With our latest SVC option, our engineers have managed a ten-fold increase in simultaneous SVC calls by improving the memory management and call handling functions of our AX/4000 Version II modules," said Mike Gouveia, Adtech vice president. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Gouveia, the flexibility of the AX/4000 hardware enables boosting SVC performance with a simple memory upgrade in the field. "Our AX/4000 Version II modules feature high-density field programmable gate arrays See FPGA. (FPGAs) that allow our customers to upgrade their hardware automatically by downloading new hardware profiles from disk or the Internet," he said. The enhanced SVC signalling option is available for the new 155.52 Mbps AX/4000 Version II Generator and Generator/Analyzer modules and costs $1,500 per module. It supports UNI 3.0, 3.1, 4.0 and Q.2931 signalling standards and operates in both a user mode and a network emulation Network emulation is a technique where the properties of an existing, planned and/or non-ideal network are simulated in order assess performance, predict the impact of change, or otherwise optimize technology decision-making. mode. The user mode allows the AX/4000 system to operate as a terminal on an SVC network and to communicate with other networked devices. In the network emulation mode, the AX/4000 emulates an SVC network allowing the equipment under test to connect directly to the AX/4000 chassis. Test engineers can use the AX/4000 to set up, receive, monitor, and decode (1) To convert coded data back into its original form. Contrast with encode. (2) Same as decrypt. See cryptography. (cryptography) decode - To apply decryption. SVC calls. An automatic call loading feature repeatedly connects and disconnects calls at a very rapid rate to test the ability of ATM switches and networks to handle very large numbers of calls. Adtech, Inc.
