A range of link interface modules (LIMs) provide the physical interface to network equipment. Each LIM connects to one type of physical interface (e.g., E1 or T1), providing access to all signaling links on up to four bidirectional bearers. The mainframe supports two LIMs (eight bidirectional bearers). An optional undercradle expands capacity to four LIMs (16 bidirectional bearers). The architecture of the software and mainframe makes it easy for you to keep up with changing technol

The Signaling Advisor makes it easy for you to start monitoring, even if you SS7 Monitoring don’t know what timeslots or protocols are being used for signaling. The auto configure tool configures the instrument’s receiver to match the bearer and then searches the bearer for signaling links (timeslots that are carrying signaling information). The correct protocol stack will be built based on signaling messages. If the default protocol stacks do not match the signaling being tested, o

Viewing Messages Monitor Tool The main traffic overview display shows (chronologically) every message captured for each signaling link. This overview display shows one line of essential information for each message. The type and format of information is displayed in columns and is controlled by the user. Each message can be decoded further to show a one line description per octet/field. Figure 4 shows a typical traffic overview. Time Stamping Each captured message is given a

Call Trace Overview Call Trace Tool The graphical call trace application traces calls (or message sequences) across all links and groups the messages together. It is therefore a very powerful facility for troubleshooting, particularly since it operates in both real-time and post-capture modes. The application produces a user-configurable window which contains one line for each call. For example in the case of ISUP, this window would typically show: • Call identifier • Call st

Graphical Statistics Statistics Tool User-definable graphical statistics are available in real-time or postcapture modes. There are several SS7 message transfer part (MTP) statistics, as well as user part specific statistics (e.g., message types or release causes). Statistics are typically counts or ratios. The statistics may be displayed graphically as: • 2D Bar charts • Radar diagram Figure 7: Shows a typical statistics graph. Tabular Statistics Tabular st

Call-based Statistics The most advanced statistics features involve using the call trace application to evaluate call based statistics such as call completion ratio, min/mean/max call setup times, and min/mean/max call durations. Data Export Statistics can be exported to a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file for further analysis in another application (e.g., spreadsheet or database). Figure 8: Graphical statistics display.

Emulation is the ability to define and send signaling messages in a predefined EmuLite sequence to a unit under test and respond to received messages. Traditional emulation tools require complex programs to be written to perform even the simplest of tasks. Writing programs using a programing language is time consuming, error prone and distracts engineers from solving signaling problems rather then solving programming problems. EmuLite revolutionizes the way in which emulation is p

Graphical Sequence Editor Tests are configured using ‘drag and drop’ icons such as arrows, branches and timers. These automatically generate test scripts -- a time-consuming and complicated task if programmed manually. More time can therefore be spent diagnosing signaling problems without the need for programming. Call Simulation Users can generate test sequences automatically from previously captured data as opposed to entering all the data manually. A sequence of relat
