coM.sat ISDN Basic UMTS
The information in the monitor protocol can be displayed in different colours for
improved clarity. The colours for the various data and command paths are set in the
“Monitor Configuration“ card. Figure 29 shows an example of a “Trace“.
Should certain installations induce the need for questions to the manufacturer, then
the configuration, firmware version and module state should also be loaded besides
the trace and stored together in a file and sent to the hotline of the manufacturer
(Menu: File / Save as: .cdc).
The ”Monitor” entry menu provides options on what to do with the trace memory of
the coM.sat ISDN Basic UMTS. It can be read out (Menu: ”Monitor” / ”Load”), the
displayed trace can be stored in an ASCII file (Menu: ”Monitor” / ”Save ASCII”) or
the displayed trace (not the trace memory in the ISDN Basic UMTS!) can be deleted
(Menu: ”Monitor” / ”Clear”). The trace memory in the device occupies a defined
memory area which cannot be increased. Thus, an exact storage duration cannot be
given. It depends on the quantity of calls that are passed via the TA. The larger the
number of calls the shorter the recording duration and vice versa. The recording
duration can therefore range between a few minutes and approx. 1 hour. If such a
trace is to be used for analysis, one should first be certain that the event actually
occurred within the recording period. Otherwise, you should try to repeat the
recording to “catch“ the event. If an error can only be detected long after the event
happened that caused the problem, it is necessary to load the trace periodically. This
enables to “catch” the event even if it is hours ago. This function is described in
chapter 3.3.1.
3.3.21 Additional information
The “File“ menu lists the “New“, “Open“, “Save“ and “Save As“ menu items usually
available under Windows. These are used by the standard Windows conventions and
do not require any further explanation. As usual in Windows, the last 4 active
configurations are listed in order (most recent first). The program can be quit by
selecting the last menu entry “Exit“.
The menu item “Monitor“ and the subsequent entry “Load“ can be used to transfer
current data from the coM.sat ISDN Basic UMTS for analysis. This data can be
displayed via the ”Monitor” tab and can be saved as an ASCII or a ".cdc" file. Further
information on this is given in the ”Monitor” and ”Monitor Configuration” chapters.
The “Toolbar“ can be selected via the “View“ menu item and is positioned beneath
the menu bar and by selecting the “Status Bar“ the status bar below the main
window is hidden or revealed. Furthermore, individual cards can also be called up via
”View”.
The “Help“ menu item is available to query the current version of the coMsat.exe
application.
