main storage The main storage is modularly expandable in 65.536 word increments up to a total of 262.words. Each word IS 36 bits in length and carries two additional parity bits in non-addressable levels, one bit for each half word. Each module is independently accessible, yet the entire main storage presents a contrnuous addressing structure to the processor(s). And this storage can be accessed simultaneously by up to three processors. central processor The central processor 1 equipped with s functions for executing a broad array of scientific, business, and input/output instructions. Meeting the test of a true multiprocessor system, each central processor has equality. In addition, each one has its own set of integrated circuit control registers featurmg a 125 nanosecond cycle time. The central processors can expedite vast quantities of data in batch, real time and demand modes-concurrently. Control of extremely fast-access storage subsystems, systems and their complex communicat~on associated terminals, plus a wide variety of local peripherals resides in the central processors. An unusually powerful and flexible instruction repertoire is provided in the central processor. most instructions are accessed and completed in one storage cycle. input/output controller The Input/Output Controller is a selfcontained unlt with its own high-speed index memory. It provides up to 16 independent by-directionaldata paths between per~pheral subsystems and main storage. auxiliary storage subsystems The entire Processor, in both software and hardware, is oriented to substantial use of high-speed magnetic drums. This technique greatly reduces handling, and access and transfer time when compiling and assembling. The use of highspeed drums also significantly reduces the size of main storage needed for the Executive Control System. system interconnection components To share both established and reactive priorities between the components of the Multiprocessor System, two unique devices are employed : The Multiple Module Access (MMA) unit-allowstheindividual storage modules to share up to three central processors and up to two 1/0 controllers on a fixed priority basis. The Shared Peripheral Interface (SPI) unit-enables up to four input/output channels to access peripherals on a shared basis.

Focus on Digital Telecom Testing
The Catapult Message Generator Traffic Simulator
As the telecom industry continues to evolve, manufacturers and service providers must deploy products and services that simultaneously accommodate Internet access, high-bandwidth multimedia, and global mobility. One result of these converging technologies is a growing demand for a broad and comprehensive test solution. The Catapult MGTS answers this challenge by providing test functionality for existing as well as emerging network technologies.
For Success in Telecom Testing
The MGTS is a multi-user, multi-protocol, programmable test system that can significantly reduce product development time and costs while ensuring conformance to telecom industry standards. Its power is achieved through a range of hardware platforms, a line of Catapult-designed network interface cards and a test library of over 700 protocols. The MGTS reduces product development time by allowing multiple independent users to perform their tests concurrently. During the early stages of development, the MGTS can emulate network equipment that is either prohibitively expensive to purchase or not readily available. Later, the MGTS can support load testing to measure how much traffic the equipment can handle. The MGTS can be upgraded and expanded as testing needs change over time. Users are able to create complex, multiprotocol test sequences with the Protocol Adaptable State Machine (PASM). PASM enables the user to construct common test cases by defining protocol message definitions, sequencing, and operations. The user can create any type of protocol message that may be used in test case sequences to be executed against a device under test. The test cases that are created can be executed in simulation or load mode. MGTS users are able to significantly reduce the time needed to develop comprehensive 3G, VoIP, SS7 and many other telecom tests. Conformance to telecom industry standards can be assured through Catapults protocols that provide an independent test reference. The MGTS can minimize the risk of the kind of errors that may occur when the same manufacturer develops both the test system and the device that is being tested.
The MGTS Supports a Wide Variety of Applications:
Faster Time-to-Market Lower Development Costs Efficient Use of Test Resources Improved Product Reliability
Design and Feature Verification Does the device being tested provide the desired features and functionality? Conformance Testing Does the device conform to industry standards? Interoperability Testing Will the device work with other equipment in the network? Load and Stress Testing How will the device perform under load and overload conditions? Installation and Acceptance Testing Is the device ready for installation?
Catapults global support organization provides MGTS installation, training and ongoing support. A winning combination of hardware, software and support reduces product time-to-market, ensures quality and minimizes cost.

PASM Interface

The MGTS Test System
The MGTS test system is flexible, modular and scalable. Consisting of both hardware and software elements, the MGTS can be reconfigured and expanded as testing needs change. For example, a MGTS system initially configured for VoIP testing can be reconfigured for 3G testing at a later date. Similarly, a system that is configured for functional testing can be reconfigured for load testing as the development project evolves. The highest level of flexibility comes from the fact that the MGTS offers a multi-user development environment so that 3G, VoIP, SS7 and other telecom tests may be run simultaneously.

Powerful Test Development Environment
MGTS users may develop test scripts (applications) using PASM and a powerful set of development tools. PASM provides a graphical test scenario development environment and is based on the finite state machine concept which executes test cases from user defined protocol sequences. MGTS implementation of the protocol layers involves both PASM simulation of the upper layers and software emulation of the lower layers. PASM simulated layer procedures, messages and contents are under full user control. Emulated layers provide full procedure functionality in software. Communication between simulated and emulated layers is done using primitives within PASM.

A graphical Message Editor is used to define protocol messages based on protocol description files to be used in the test cases. A Free Format Editor provides control of the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) structure and contents allowing users to create and modify non-standard PDUs. A graphical State Machine Editor is used to define the logic behind test cases. It combines the PDUs created by either the message editor or the free format editor with sequence timing, responses and other actions necessary to achieve the required test sequence or entity emulation. The state machine editor also allows real time data manipulation.
A Run Time Database Editor enables users to define both the database structure and the data content. These may be used as the source or destination for importing or exporting PDUs data during test case execution. Sequence Group Editor allows the user to manage and configure test case databases created by the state machine editor. A Traffic Generator application allows the user to simulate AMR formatted voice and UDI traffic on the bearer paths. The application also transmits stored speech samples and stores received speech samples, for comparison purposes. The verification of the quality of the speech path is possible, as well as the generation of traffic patterns without regard for verification, which allows for higher load rates from the application.

The Catapult Protocol Test Library
A Packet Generator application allows the user to test packet-switched functionality. The application generates IP packets and transfers them through the packet protocol stack. In the end-to-end testing configuration, where the packet generator simulates both the sender and receiver of packets, many measurements and statistics are compiled. An XStream Packet Generator allows the user to generate high loads for packet-only interfaces. Although high-load test applications are not a substitute for real network simulation, MGTS PASM simulation and XStream provide a flexible environment for constructing intelligent simulations that model real networks.

The Catapult Core Operating System provides the MGTS software and graphical capabilities used to configure the test system, develop and build test scripts, and actually run the tests. In order to connect the MGTS system to the telecom equipment that is being tested, Catapult offers a variety of network interface cards. These interface cards perform the lower level signal processing and provide significant on-board processing power. This architecture provides performance advantages as the number of network interface cards increases. A range of hardware platforms allows users to tailor their system to the desired performance level.
