The Lab-Volt Telephony Training System (TTS), Model 8086, is a powerful learning
tool that allows students to study the operation of modern telephone networks and
digital private automatic branch exchanges (PABX). The TTS is built upon the
Reconfigurable Training Module, Model 9431. This module, which uses state-of-the-
art digital signal processor (DSP) technology, can be programmed to act as different
parts of a telephone network. Interface cards that students install in the training
module allow connection of real analog and digital telephone sets and trunk lines.
A central office (CO) is easily implemented by inserting an analog line interface card
into a training module programmed to act as a central office. Similarly, a digital
PABX is implemented by inserting a digital telephone interface card into a training
module programmed to act as a PABX. Furthermore, simple telephone networks
can be set up quickly by adding analog and digital trunk interface cards to COs and
PABXs implemented with training modules, and interconnecting the modules with
trunk lines. Such telephone networks allow establishment of both intra- and inter-
exchange calls as well as tandem-switched calls.
A Pentium-type host computer, connected to the Reconfigurable Training Module
through a high-speed data link (Ethernet link with TCP/IP protocol), runs the
Lab-Volt Telephony Training System (LVTTS) software. This Windows®-based
software is used to download programs into the DSP memory of the Reconfigurable
Training Module. The LVTTS software is also used to:
• display the functional block diagram of the telephony equipment (CO,
digital PABX, etc.) implemented in the Reconfigurable Training Module,
• change various system settings and options, such as the telephone ringing
cadence, companding type, subscriber names and phone numbers, etc,
• perform step-by-step observation of call routing sequences,
• observe real signals throughout the system in both the time and frequency
domains using modern virtual instruments,
• insert faults in the system (password-protected feature) for troubleshooting
purposes.
The TTS courseware material consists of a series of five student manuals, an
instructor guide for each student manual, and a user guide. The following fields of
telephony are covered in the TTS courseware:
• Analog Access to the Telephone Network
• Central Office Operation
• Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX)
• PABX Analog Trunk
• Digital Trunk
Each student manual covers one particular subject and is divided into several units.
Each unit consists of a series of hands-on exercises dealing with certain aspects of
telephony. The exercises contain a clearly stated objective, a discussion, a
summary of the exercise procedure, a detailed exercise procedure, a conclusion,
and a set of review questions. A ten-question test at the end of each unit allows the
instructor to verify the knowledge gained by the student. Each instructor guide
provides the measured results as well as the answers to all questions of each
exercise in the corresponding student manual. It also provides the answers to the
unit test questions. The user guide provides all the information required to set up
and use the Telephony Training System.
