Unless otherwise stated, WAN interfaces provide two input ports and two
output ports allowing any one of the following connection configurations to
be used:
Terminal Mode - uses one input and one output
Bridged Monitor Mode - uses both inputs and outputs for bi-directional
monitoring at test access points; a high input impedance should normally be
selected
Jack Monitor Mode uses both inputs only for bi-directional monitoring at
protected monitor points
Through Monitor Mode (Drop and Insert Mode) - uses both inputs and
outputs providing bi-directional repeater and monitoring functionality. Each
receiver input is terminated. The insert mode can place test traffic like SLA,
PING, LMI emulation, Traffic Generation and Simulation.
The operation of the physical interface is often critical in determining the
cause of network problems. Therefore, the Advisor tracks errors at the
physical layer, and it stamps the information with a 1 ms time stamp. Signal
events are recorded on the display for both the line (network) side as well as
the equipment (user/subscriber) 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.
Line status is displayed in real time. All of the events listed in the Physical
layer alarms and statistics section for each interface below are saved in the
buffer and counted in the line status display. These events may be logged to
disk. Critical parameters marked with an asterisk (*) are also displayed in
large green or red boxes in the line status display for easy at-a-glance
viewing.

General
This interface comprises a choice of two plug-in modules (J2298B and J2299B)
suitable for plugging into the J2300C/D Advisor mainframe and the J2900A
High Speed undercradle. The J2298B has RJ-48C connectors and the J2299B
has RJ-45 connectors. These modules handle cell and frame-based
technologies, i.e. ATM, Frame Relay, ISDN, HDLC, X.25, PPP, and BERT. These
interfaces do not support Frame Relay CIR and SLA measurements.
