Network Configuration

Setting Up the Network Configuration File

Port Definitions

Each port on each multiplexer card to be used for the Data Analyzer must be correctly configured to support the Frame capture firmware protocol. Note the following configuration requirements:

Select the correct mux and port for each analyzer connection.

Set RS232 mode for both RS-232 and V.35 analyzer ports.

The baud rate is not important but set for an expected nominal rate (57600 chosen here).

The Clocking option must be set to Ext.

The Mode, clock multiplier, and encoding must be set to SDLC, x1, and NRZ. If NRZI encoding is used set this to NRZI instead.

Port 00:00 RS232 57600 Int SDLC x1 NRZ

Port 00:01 RS232 57600 Ext SDLC x1 NRZ

Port 00:02 RS232 57600 Ext SDLC x1 NRZ

Port 00:03 RS232 57600 Ext SDLC x1 NRZ

Port 00:04 RS232 57600 Ext SDLC x1 NRZ

Port 00:05 RS232 57600 Ext SDLC x1 NRZ

Port 00:06 RS232 57600 Ext SDLC x1 NRZ

Port 00:07 RS232 57600 Ext SDLC x1 NRZ

In the example file, mux 0 ports 0 and 1 are used for a sample X.25 connection that is looped back between these ports. marked External is connected as described below. Connect the Y-cable as shown. The connector designated “P2” on the Y-cable goes to the connector marked External on the loopback cable.

ZLU Definitions

Finally the ZLUs to be used for the Analyzer session must be defined. Take care to define these carefully since errors in these definitions may not be detected by ttgen. If there are such errors they may not be detected until the ports are used.
