1-4 Overview Overview The PrimeSwitch ISDN Protocol Analyzer Package (PAP) monitors and displays layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3 protocol activity on a PrimeSwitch ISDN interface. PAP uses COM ports on the PC to transfer information to and from a PrimeSwitch ISDN module. PAP can monitor multiple ISDN interfaces on PrimeSwitch 100 Series modules which have more than one (for example, the DTM or QBRM), and can use either COM1, COM2 or BOTH at the same time on the PC. When PAP is operating, all t

Introduction 1-5 This default can be overridden from the command line as follows: PAPXXXX REAL forces the PAP software to use conventional memory and will not operate if insufficient conventional memory is available. PAPXXXX VIRTUAL forces the PAP software to use Extended or Expanded memory and will not operate if memory is not available. These overrides should not be used unless problems are experienced with the default. The size of the buffer therefore depends on the amount of memory (RAM) a
