1.1 Introduction
The AI-5620 simulates a single port two wire analog TE (Terminal Equipment) or CPE
(Customer Premise Equipment) device. It is designed to measure and analyze signals
generated by a CO (central office) line card, VoIP terminal adapter's FXS port, or any
device utilizing a SLIC (subscriber line interface circuit).
Common applications include:
• Verifying Caller ID signal generation from CO's, PBX's, and line simulation
equipment.
• Measuring general telephony signals such as DTMF, ringing, pulse dialing, line
flash duration, metering pulses, and line voltage.
• Testing SLIC characteristics using adjustable load resistances, ringing loads, and
AC terminations.
• Monitoring telephone line signals including line voltage and loop current.
When used in conjunction with the TRsSim software, the AI-5620 performs a wide range
of test functions, including:
Measurement & Signal Detection
• Line voltage, loop current, common mode voltage
• Ringing frequency, level, duration, DC offset voltage
• AC RMS level, frequency, THD+N
