Configuring the Analyzer

The analyzer can be configured dynamically, as needed, and this is the recommended method. The analyzer is configured dynamically by the following steps:

For 8-Channel EISA or NIO multiplexers connect an analyzer cable.
Start the ACC subsystem with the daemon pcapture running (this can be added to the zmasterd_list configuration file).
Use pdisplay to configure (use the runc command), start and stop the analyzer.
Use pdisplay to view the captured X.25 or ISDN traffic.

The analyzer can also be configured manually by adding the appropriate entries to the network configuration file (see Appendix B “Network Configuration” for more details). This file contains the initial configuration for the ACC Multiplexer subsystem. The configuration steps in this case would be:

Connect an analyzer cable for 8-Channel EISA or NIO multiplexers.
Configure the required analyzer ports as in Appendix B “Network Configuration”.
Start the ACC subsystem with the daemon pcapture running (this can be added to the zmasterd_list configuration file).
Use pdisplay to start and stop the analyzer.
Use pdisplay to view the captured X.25 or ISDN traffic.

Dynamic Set-Up of Analyzer Configuration

The analyzer can be conveniently configured and set up to run on specified ports/sub-channels using the runc command. The runc command configures the required ZCOM table entries (including ZLU numbers) for the specified port/subchannel before starting the capture and optional displaying of data.

For example, you can set-up and run the analyzer on the first two ports of the first 8-Channel multiplexer card in the ACC subsystem by entering the runc command as follows:

Display> runc 0 0

All of the options that are applicable to the run command also apply to the runc command. See the entry for the “runc” command on “runc”.




	NOTE: For the 4-port cards and Z7340A 8-port PCI card, all channels can be monitored. For 8-port EISA and HP-PB cards, the ports used for data capture may NOT be used for active X.25 connections.
