How to Monitor Frame-Relay or X25 over Vseries Interfaces

Connecting the unit

The Clarinet Book USB Vseries uses serial or parallel mode to connect.
See 'How to connect Vseries interface to Clarinet Book USB'.

Setting the test conditions for Vseries monitoring

A new profile can be creating from a template, using the wizard, by selecting:-

  • Profile=>New=>Vseries... (see: building).
  • Profile with a description including Vseries, Monitor, PH=V24 DL=BOP
  • Filter with a description including one of the options:-
    • DL=BOP
    • DL=Frame Relay
    • DL=X25

The profile created by the wizard is ready for BOP monitoring on a V24 interface.

Example: Modifications to support V24 interface with 113/115 clocks

By default the 114/115 mode is selected (two clocks coming from DCE). The 113/115 mode corresponds to one clock coming from DCE and one clock coming from DTE.

In the profile, go to Interface Spec... =>Physical level:-

  • Terminal clocks: Select 113/115.

For information: The clock value is not significant (automatically extracted) in this monitoring mode.

Example: Modifications to support X24/V11 interface with X/S clocks

In the profile access to Interface Spec...=>Physical level:-

  • Interface type:  Select X24
  • Terminal clocks: Select X/S

For information: the clock value is not significant (automatically extracted) in this monitoring mode.

Example: Modifications to support V35 interface with 114/115 clocks

Access Interface Spec...=>Physical level:-

  • Interface type: Select V35
  • Terminal clocks: Select 114/115

For information: The clock value is not significant (automatically extracted) in this monitoring mode.

Example: Modifications to support V36 interface with 114/115 clocks

In the profile access to Interface=>Spec...=>Physical level:-

  • Interface type: Select V36
  • Terminal clocks: Select 114/115

For information: The clock value is not significant (automatically extracted) in this monitoring mode.

Running the profile

To launch the profile:-

  • Select Profile=>Run or click on the horse_on.gif (968 octets) button. You will be able to select the name of profile (see Running a test).
  • The Event Editor window is automatically opened.

To stop the profile:-

  • Click on the horse_off.gif (975 octets) button (see: Stopping a test).
  • The Event Editor window is automatically closed.

Clock frequency measurement

During execution of the profile, the manual command, Clock, can be used to measure the clock frequency of the Data link.
