Agilent Technologies 622Vu Advisor, User Manual

Page: 71 / 244

Item Description
RFrmr (receive framer) or TFrmr (transmit framer). This applies
to traffic flowing through the on-device framer chip.
If the flow goes out over two channels, the right side of the
specification has two values: TFrmr->T2+T1.
capture_channel Channel on which 622Vu Advisor is listening to the device’s
traffic, specified using the same notation as above (e.g., “capture
R1”). Always “R1 and R2” for dual-capture, monitor-only
devices.
In this example:
[5]Full duplex on 1(R1->RFrmr, TFrmr->T1), capture R1,
we’re looking at a device that’s running as an end station listening on
Channel 1. Traffic coming in on Channel 1 is going to the receive framer,
and traffic from the framer chip is going out through Channel 1. 622Vu
Advisor is capturing traffic off Channel 1. Internally, this is known as
Configuration #5.
•
The heartbeat light (far right) flashes to indicate communication between the
analysis device and ATM device under test.
General Indicators: Bottom
The bottom line lets you control the frequency with which information is updated
(Update Delay field), and has buttons used to:
•
Close the window.
•
Set Baseline counters to zero. A reset initializes error counters as well as
ATM counters and graphs.
•
Request Help text describing the information shown.
The Update Delay controls how often 622Vu Advisor refreshes the information
displayed. Specify this field as a number of seconds (in the range 1–3600), or
use the spin-control arrows to increase or decrease the value shown. 622Vu
Advisor will begin refreshing the information at the requested frequency.
Where to Go From Here
The next section describes the ATM tab, which is identical across all the physical
interfaces supported by the analysis devices. Subsequent sections describe the
errors and counters shown for each specific physical interfaces and, as
appropriate, the BIP error-generation features available for that interface.
