iP tracing
All IP-based Monitor Master tests can be used to capture packet data in
the PCAP format, which can be easily viewed with standard packet capture
tools such as WireShark. This allows for in-depth analysis of all the IP traffic
that passes through the modem or LAN interface.
layer 3 trace and Chipset statistics
GSM Layer 3, WCDMA NAS Signaling, WCDMA RRC Signaling, and CDMA
Phone Messages are available for tracing on each modem on the agent.
Chipset statistics, such as Idle Reports, Neighbor Reports, and HSDPA Channel
statistics are also recorded in the trace files. This data can be analyzed using
Ascom’s powerful Field Analyzer tool, allowing users to drill down to pin-
point the exact cause of failed or poorly performing tests.
The signaling messages can also be processed by Monitor Master to
produce:
