Agilent Technologies 37907A manual

Agilent Technologies Signaling Advisor - - - 37907A Technical Overview The Complete Wireless and Advanced Intelligent Network Test Solution The Agilent Technologies Signaling Advi sor is a compr ehensive and powerful test and troubleshooting instrument. It enables the user to find problems in today’s complex wireless and wire- line telephone netw[...]

Page 2 of 16 A range of link interface modules (LIM s) 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 signal ing links on up to four bidirectional bearers. The mainframe supports two LIMs (eight bidirectional b earers). An optional undercradle expan[...]

Page 3 of 16 Signaling Advisor Features and Functionality General Feature summary • Dedicated software for Cellular, PCS/GSM, GPRS, UMTS, cdma2000 and SS7 signaling networks • Windows 98® based operation • Multitasking applications (protoco l analysis, statistics, call trace) • Real- time or post- capture analysis • Connect to up to 16 d[...]

Page 4 of 16 SS7 Monitoring The Signaling Advisor makes it easy fo r you to start monitoring, even if you don’t know what timeslots or protocols are bein g used for signaling. The auto configure tool configures the instrument ’s receiver to match the beare r and then searches the bearer for signaling lin ks (timeslots that are carrying signalin[...]

Monitor and troubleshoot all aspects of the UMTS Radio Access Network (Iu, Iub and Iur interfaces). Use the powerful Agilent Advisor ATM softwar[...]

Page 7 of 16 Monitor Tool Viewing Messages 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 a nd format of information is displayed in columns and is controlle d by the user. Each message can be decoded f[...]

Page 8 of 16 Call Trace Tool Call Trace Overview The graphical call trace application trac es 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- config[...]

Page 9 of 16 Statistics Tool Graphical Statistics User-definable graphical statisti cs are available in real-time or postcapture modes. There are several SS7 message transfer p art (MTP) statistics, as well a s user part specific stat istics (e.g., message types or release causes). Stat istics are typically counts or ratios. The statist ics may be [...]

Page 10 of 16 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/m ean/max call setup times, and min/mean/max call durations. Data Export Statistics can be exported to a CSV (Com ma Separated Value) file for further analysis in ano[...]

Page 11 of 16 EmuLite Emulation is the ability to d efine and send signaling messages in a predefined sequence to a unit under test an d respond to received messages. Traditional emulation tools require complex programs to be written to perform even the simplest of tasks. Writing prog rams using a programing language is time consuming, error prone [...]

Page 12 of 16 Graphical Sequence Editor Tests are configured using ‘drag and drop ’ icons such as arrows, branches and timers. These automatically generate test scripts - - a time- c onsuming and complicated task if programmed manually. More time ca n therefore be spent diagnosing signaling problems without th e need for programming. Call Simul[...]

Page 13 of 16 You Don't Need To Be A Signaling Expert to Operate the Signaling Advisor Today, more developers and field engin eers than ever are faced with the challenge of effectively analyze signaling networks. For Signaling Advisor, ease of use was one of the primary design goals. A graphical and self- explanatory user interface allows the [...]
