To install or troubleshoot a Frame Relay link, you need to test for many things:
physical errors, equipment interoperability, Frame Relay congestion, and even
LAN traffic problems. The Advisor offers integrated Frame Relay protocol
analysis capabilities, along with Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT), stimulus/
response measurements, and statistical analysis capability - everything you
require to get a good look at the physical layer, Frame Relay Signaling, and all
the protocol layers above.
No matter what the traffic level, the Advisor will capture every frame on your
full-duplex network connections. It monitors non-intrusively and captures
Frame Relay data at full line rate. In addition, it can simulate either direction of
a line under test and process previously captured data from its capture buffers
or from a file for retransmission. The analyzer doesnt just capture traffic when
the network is working - it gives you information when the network is broken when you need it the most.
The Advisor with its extensive Frame Relay testing capabilities allows you to
test:

The J2300D mainframe comprises the acquisition system for all ATM and WAN
plug-in modules plus the V series interfaces, connectors for which are located
on the body of the mainframe.
In addition, the mainframe includes a full PC running the Microsoft®
Windows98® operating system on a 300 MHz processor, a built in keyboard
with pointing device, a Super VGA active color display, dual PCMCIA card slots,
stereo speakers and the usual printer and serial ports. The PC is used to
control the mainframe acquisition system and the acquisition system in any
attached undercradle, and to collect and post process results.
Note that the PC is not used for real-time processing of measurements this is
all done in the acquisition system and plug-in modules. This allows the PC to
handle multiple tasks such as the Dual Simultaneous Analysis feature which
involves the simultaneous control of the mainframe acquisition system and
attached undercradles, as discussed later.

The J2900A undercradle is similar in function to the J2300D mainframe except
that it has no built in PC but relies upon the PC contained in the J2300D ATM/
WAN or J3446D LAN mainframes to control it and to collect and post process
results. It accepts all ATM and WAN plug-in modules.

The Advisor has the ability to test two different interfaces and technologies
simultaneously, e.g. E1 Frame Relay and E3 ATM, DS3 Frame Relay and 10/100
Mbps Ethernet, ATM25 and OC-3c ATM, etc. This functionality lets you to test
interworking in mixed technology environments (see the Application Note 1346
for details on this kind of testing).
In order to perform dual simultaneous analysis, combinations of an Advisor
mainframe (J2300D or J3446D) and an undercradle (J3444A or J2900A) is
required, the mainframe and undercradle being each supported by an application (LAN, WAN or ATM) running on the PC embedded in the mainframe. Note
that the applications do not have to be different so, for example, a J2300D
Advisor mainframe fitted with a J2900A High Speed undercradle could each be
fitted with the same type of ATM or WAN interface and be run simultaneously
e.g. two J3766A ATM25 interface modules.
The following table shows the combination of supported mainframes,
undercradles, interfaces and technologies:

CIR is one of the most important features for Frame Relay Management. CIR is
a contract between the Service Provider and an User. This contract allows both
parties to exchange information under controlled traffic conditions. CIR is the
rate expressed in bits per second (bit/s) at which the network agrees to transfer
information under normal conditions. This rate is measured over the measure-
ment interval Tc. The default value of Tc is 1 second.

Network Vital Statistics provide real-time measures of network conditions to
present a statistical picture of what is happening on the network links. Working
simultaneously with decodes, filters and other measurements the Vital Statistics
feature interprets data traffic as it occurs. This feature can be used to identify
network problems or to assist you in optimizing the configuration on network
components and software. Vital Statistics are gathered in intervals of 1-second.
Values may also be logged to disk.
Values in the Vital Statistics display are presented in tabular form and are
cumulative from the start of a test. Instantaneous utilization is displayed in
graphical format for a quick look at overall usage of the network. The following
values are provided for both the Line (Network) side and the Equipment (User)
side:
Max., min., and avg. utilization (%)
Max., min., inst., and avg. throughput in kbps
Total octets (bytes)
Total frames/packets

The Advisor provides the ability to decode correlated Frame Relay network
traffic with its enhanced decode view. Decodes can be configured to see:
Summary of the frame, detailed decode of the frame, and a hex representation
of the frames.
The analyzer decodes and displays the following fields and protocols:
DLCI, DE, FECN, BECN, E/A and FCS
Auto LMI detection and decoding for ANSI T1.617 Annex D, ITU-T Q.933
Annex A, original LMI
Consolidated Link Layer Management (CLLM) messages, found on DLCI 1007.
Multi-Protocol over Frame Relay (Network Layer)
The Frame Relay applications will decode the multi-protocol encapsulation
over Frame Relay automatically according to the RFC-1490, RFC-2427,
Ethertype or FRF.3.1, CLLM, and Annex G (X.25 over Frame Relay).
Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) monitoring FRF.11
Committed Information Rate according to ANSI T1.606a
Double clicking on a field in the Detailed Pane of the decode Window will cause
the appropriate fields in the Hex decode pane to be inverse highlighted giving
the user greater analysis capabilities in the decode view.

Decode View
The Advisor provides the ability to decode correlated Frame Relay network
traffic with its enhanced decode view. The decode view can be configured by
right clicking in the summary view. The decode view has a very user-friendly
one-line, one-line top, and multi-line read out in the summary view. It also
offers hex to detail mapping - by highlighting an element in the detailed view,
the corresponding hex element is highlighted in color in the Hex section of
the decodes. The reverse is also true by clicking hex.
The Advisor also has powerful, user-configurable 100ns resolution time-stamp
options as follows:
Delta shows the time interval between adjacent frames or displayed
filtered frames.
Relative shows the time difference between critical events and other
frames in the traffic flow; for example, if a ping is considered time-zero,
frames which arrived before or after will be time-stamped with their relative
corresponding arrival time;
Absolute shows events time stamped with date and time of day.
The decode view now also offers color mapping of the protocol layers in the
decode view; this allows each layer in the data flow to be easily identified, thus
simplifying protocol analysis.

LAN over WAN, and LAN (over WAN) over ATM
Encapsulated LAN data is automatically extracted and decoded by the Advisor
including complex encapsulated protocols. For unique encapsulation schemes,
you can specify the offset as well. Nearly 300 decodes exist for layer 3 and
above; these are common to all underlying technologies (LAN, WAN and ATM).
The Advisor provides an off-line LAN Expert Analysis tool. The off-line LAN
Expert Analysis examines Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, ATM or
WAN (HDLC or Frame Relay) encapsulated LAN frames on an Advisor or
personal PC without Advisor hardware.
The comprehensive set of protocol decodes include all of todays popular

The real time filtering function provides application-level, LAN-centric
troubleshooting on their ATM or Frame Relay network, thus allowing them to
see specific traffic types that may be causing trouble on the network. The user
can even filter by IP source and/or destination address IP traffic that is
encapsulated in Frame Relay, which is, in turn, encapsulated in ATM. This
feature maximizes valuable buffer space for optimal data collection of targeted
LAN traffic since the filtering takes place before data capture.
In addition to capture filtering, which is performed in hardware, the Advisor is
able to gather counts of events such as cells or frames that meet the filtering
criteria. More details of these features are given in technology specific sections
in this specification.
Powerful display (post-capture) filtering and search functionality allows the
user to drill down further for troubleshooting purposes when post processing
data from capture buffer or file.
Capture Filters and Counters
Hardware counters and filters let you select frames to bring into the capture
buffer. The Advisor will capture every frame, no matter what the traffic level,
and that is exactly what you need.
1414

1414
Up to 16 hardware data filters can be enabled simultaneously or individually
turned on or off. A flexible and user-friendly menu helps you define specific
filters, counters, and triggers:
Up to 16 hardware data filters (both sides of the network)
Enabled simultaneously or individually
Flexible, user-friendly menu for protocol specific filter and counter setup
Several user selectable actions for triggers

Display Filters and Searching
Display filtering and searching lets you search through collected data to find
specific IP addresses, values for protocol fields, or conversations on specific bidirectional virtual connections (by DLCI). 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, you can filter on Annex D without having to know any of the protocol
specifics.
Post-processing lets you quickly zoom in on selected criteria, from the traffic
passing between specific devices to individual conversations. With postprocessing, you can do the following:
Search through the data by record or by time stamp
Search for events or strings
Filter on protocols
Verify event-to-event timing
Search and view protocol errors
Print a range of cells or the entire buffer to printer or ASCII file
Export data in CSV (comma separated variables) format
Analyze statistics based on the buffered data
User Assisted LAN over Frame Relay Filtering
The User Assisted LAN over Frame Relay allows the user to perform LAN
filtering and searching on LAN nodes, Layer 3 protocols, and IP source and
destination addresses.

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 stamps the information with a 1 ms time stamp. 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.

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.
