Data Analyzer Commands

runc

runc

The command runc creates a pair of analyzer ZLUs using the specified interface card, port and subchannel, and runs the analyzer on these ZLUs.

Format

runc card port [subch] [-dce dte] [<any_”run”_options>]

Description

For cards which support subchannelling (T1/E1 cards for example) the subchannel number is mandatory.

In lieu of manually editing the (ASCII text) network (ttgen) configuration file to configure the analyzer ZLUs, this command can be used to dynamically generate them.

Use the -dce option to specify that the port being monitored is configured as a DCE device. Otherwise the monitored port is assumed, by default, to be a DTE.

Any of the run command’s standard options may be used with runc, but they must appear at the end of the runstring, per the format outlined above.

On cards which allow “same port monitoring” (E1/T1 and 8-port PCI cards for example) the two analyzer ZLUs are created on the requested card, port and subchannel number.

Other card types (which require an analyzer cable), have the first analyzer ZLU created on the given card and port number, and the second ZLU created on the next adjacent port. For this reason the last port of this type of card cannot be specified in the runc command.

If runc is used with the -f option to have the decoded data displayed in real time, then CNTL-C stops the command and also deletes the pair of ZLUs.

The default capture file name has a timestamp appended to it when the runc command is used to start the analyzer.
