Display Filters and Searching
Display filtering and searching lets the user search through collected data
to find specific IP addresses, values for protocol fields, or conversations
on specific bi- directional virtual connections (by VPI- VCI). The display
filters provide the flexibility to select protocol attributes or specific
protocols from a checklist, and the power to filter on any bit, byte or
characteristic, such as protocol. For example, filtering can be preformed
on OAM traffic without having to know any of the protocol specifics.
Post- processing lets the user quickly zoom in on selected criteria, from
the traffic passing between specific devices to individual conversations.
Post- processing allows the user to:
• Search through the data by record or by time stamp
• Search for events or strings
• Filter on protocols
• Verify event- to- event timing
• View protocol errors
• Print a range of cells or the entire buffer
• Export data in CSV (comma separated variables) format
• Analyze statistics based on the buffered data
Optical Power Measurements
In addition to full ATM analysis, the STM- 1/OC- 3 ATM interface has a
built- in optical power meter that allows the user to check power levels
with an accuracy of +/- 0.5 dBm. This measurement capability has the
ability to be performed using the same interface on an optical fiber
carrying STM- 4/OC- 12c, even though the interface does not otherwise
operate at 622Mb/s.
Signal Strength Pulse Amplitude Meter
In addition to full ATM analysis, the E1/T1 cells and frames interfaces
have a built- in pulse amplitude signal strength power meter that allows
users to check pulse amplitude levels with a resolution of +/- 1 dBm. The
dynamic range is between +6 dBmV and - 40 dBmV.
Line Status
The operation of the physical interface is often critical in determining
the cause of network problems. Therefore, the Advisor also tracks errors
at the physical layer. Counts of error and alarm events are recorded on
the display for both the line (network) and equipment (user) side. The
time of the last occurrence of a particular event is recorded as well.
Events are saved in the buffer and can be logged to disk.
