We've all dealt with ISDN simulators, that look like a CO to a single or small set of interfaces. I'm dealing with a situation where I need to interconnect several simulated training sites (i.e., physically in the same room) and telephony servers through a PSTN simulation.
In other words, I need a small CO switch, with the ability at least to interconnect several trunks (probably both T1 E&M and ISDN PRI), with a static calling plan among tens of telephones. The switch would emulate several end offices, plus the PSTN interoffice connectivity between them. For the latter, however, I don't need to have physical interoffice trunks as long as I can simulate their effect in a dialing plan. The switch should also be able to simulate dedicated data links between sites. In the real world, this is no problem to do with off-the-shelf equipment that would support thousands of lines. Within the Cisco product line, I suspect I get close with an MGX or the like, but probably fall short in circuit-switch call supervision and routing. Thoughts? I'm going to review my Nortel Passport documents to see if it has the loop supervision capabilities available; I vaguely remember a version that might.
