Installing the Data Analyzer

Configuring the Analyzer

Configuring the Analyzer

The analyzer can be configured dynamically, as needed, and this is the recommended method. The analyzer is configured dynamically by the following steps:

•For 8-Channel EISA or NIO multiplexers connect an analyzer cable.

•Start the ACC subsystem with the daemon pcapture running (this can be added to the zmasterd_list configuration file).

•Use pdisplay to configure (use the runc command), start and stop the analyzer.

•Use pdisplay to view the captured X.25 or ISDN traffic.

The analyzer can also be configured manually by adding the appropriate entries to the network configuration file (see “Network Configuration” on page 43 for more details). This file contains the initial configuration for the ACC Multiplexer subsystem. The configuration steps in this case would be:

•Connect an analyzer cable for 8-Channel EISA or NIO multiplexers.

•Configure the required analyzer ports as in Appendix A, “Network Configuration,” on page 43.

•Start the ACC subsystem with the daemon pcapture running (this can be added to the zmasterd_list configuration file).

•Use pdisplay to start and stop the analyzer.

•Use pdisplay to view the captured X.25 or ISDN traffic.

Dynamic Set-Up of Analyzer Configuration

The analyzer can be conveniently configured and set up to run on specified ports/sub-channels using the runc command. The runc command configures the required ZCOM table entries (including ZLU numbers) for the specified port/subchannel before starting the capture and optional displaying of data.
