J-Series Data Radio – User Manual
Issue 09-10
Diagnostics Tools
As of firmware release V3.1, the J-Series radios implement SNMP
access to radio diagnostics as well as providing embedded (web)
diagnostics and commissioning features.
Radio Diagnostics:
The J-Series radios include the ability for installers to review useful
radio & Ethernet diagnostics parameters. The parameters include
unit specific (date & time), network specific (Ethernet traffic) and
radio specific parameters (Tx Power, DC volts, etc).
Diagnostics can be accessed via the HTML Interface or using the
TVIEW+ Diagnostics suite (either via eDiags Ethernet or directly
via Port B using a serial port). Diagnostics can also be accessed
via SNMP.
SNMP Diagnostics:
As of firmware version v3.1, an SNMP agent can access radio
diagnostics via SNMP. The radio currently supports SNMP v1 &
v2c but does not support traps. SNMP facilities include RFC1213
as well as radio and Ethernet diagnostics.
Trio Datacom supply .MIB files that can be imported into most
major SNMP agents. These .MIB files define the contents of the
SNMP parameters including a description for each parameter.
The parameters are sorted into three distinct groups. The general
group, the radio group and the security group. More information on
SNMP can be found in Part G of this user manual.
Diagnostics Logs:
The J-Series radios include the ability measure radio diagnostics
and performance statistics over a period of time. This facility is
known as the diagnostics log.
The diagnostics log can display data at a low, medium or high
frequency depending on how often you want an update. The
diagnostics log can also be saved to a CSV file for further analysis.
Packet Error Testing:
When commissioning a radio link, it is useful to generate Ethernet
traffic to test the link for functional performance. One method
of generating traffic is using the “ping” utility provided on MS
Windows based operating systems. Another method is to perform
a packet error test. This can be done using the “Indicative Packet
Error Test” facility provided in the J-Series radio.
To perform the test, the user specifies the destination radio serial
number, number of packets to send and size of packets (in bytes).
The test facility will then execute the test and provide the results,
which can then form part of the commissioning process. For more
information, refer to Part H of this user manual.
