V5 Emulator

The Emutel Virtuoso is a V5.1 and V5.2 Local Exchange Emulator that has been added to the range of test and measurement equipment available for the data and telecommunications markets. It simulates the operation of the Local Exchange, and provides up to 8 E1 (2.048Mbps) interfaces that can be configured with multiple V5.1 and V5.2 interfaces, allowing multiple Access Networks to be connected. It also has the option of additional PRI, BRI and Analogue/Pots cards which can be used for call generation and speech path verification. Many International protocols are supported.

The device's configuration is extensive but simple using a windows application (GUI) which also shows the status of each of the V5, PRI, BRI and PSTN ports. Protocol Analysis is also provided through a piece of software within the unit.

Almost every feature can be customised, for example, the telephone number, layer 3 address, timelsot (V5.1 only), signalling channel (V5.2 only), Link Layer 3 address, Protection Protocol Group 1+2,Variant and Interface Id can be configured to suit the user's needs. Special numbers activate network conditions such as the User Busy or Call Rejected.

The device's weight, size and universal power supply make it a convenient portable network for exhibitions, production line testing, development, labs and on-site customer demonstrations.
