PCM SWITCHING AND INTRODUCTION

TRANSMISSION Trainer mod. PCM/EV has been designed to examine all

SYSTEM
the main issues concerning coding, switching and digital
transmission of signals. The system carries out all the functions
of a branch exchange used for communications in a switched

Mod. PCM/EV
PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) line.

TRAINING PROGRAM:
• Basics of telephony:
- telephone terminal
- transmission medium
- switching devices
• Telephone:
- acoustic/electrical transmission transducer
- electrical/acoustic reception transducer
- dial and electronic keyboard
- communication signals with the branch exchange
TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND TELEMATICS

- TONE/PULSE calling tones

- power supply
• User interface (SLIC):
- B (Battery powered): telephone set powered by the branch
exchange
- O (Overvoltage protection): protection against overvoltages
from the line
- R (Ringing): control of ringing current
- S (Supervision): detection of the hook switch pulses or
multifrequency dialling tones
- H (Hybrid): conversion from 2 to 4 wires and vice versa
- T (Testing): signals level; characteristics on line
