MALC MTA with POTS Ringer Card

MALC-MTAC/RING-ENH

Metallic Test Access and Ring Generation Card with Integrated Metallic Test Capability

Overview

The MALC is a full-featured Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) optimized for delivering voice, data, and video services over a pure packet access network. MALC gives carriers the flexibility to cost-effectively deliver Analog and Packet Voice services over existing facilities.

The MTAC/Ring cards provide metallic test access for external test systems to verify the local loop conditions, such as whether the loop will allow a particular service such as POTS or DSL to operate.

The MALC-MTAC/RING-ENH supports the following integrated test capability when the Integrated Software Test Feature is enabled.

-Calibration -Foreign DC Voltage -Foreign AC Voltage -DC Loop Resistance -3 Element Resistance -5 Element Resistance -3 Element Capacitance -Receiver off hook -Distance to Open -Foreign AC Currents -Ringer Equivalence -DTMF and Pulse Digit Measurement -Noise Measurement -Signal to Noise Ratio -Arbitrary Signal Tone Measurement -Tone Generation -Trans-hybrid Loss -Draw and Break Dialtone -Inward Current -DC Feed Selftest -On and Off-Hook Measurement -Ringing Selftest -Ringing Monitor -Metering Selftest -Transmission Selftest -Dialing Selftest -Howler Test -Fuse Test -Read Loop and Battery Conditions
