Clarinet V5 application

Presentation

The Clarinet-system is a powerful Protocol Test platform supporting V5 interfaces and protocols. It offers a wide variety of functions:
  • Monitoring
  • Automatic simulation
  • Conformance testing for Layer 2 and Layer 3 of V5.1 and V5.2 protocols based on ETSI test suites

Interface Connection

Physical Interface

  • One to Seven E1 Links (75 or 120 Ohms)

Interface Management

Simultaneous management of groups of E1 interfaces:

  • PH-physical interface
  • C-channels on Links 1 to 7 (2 per Link: TS16+15)
  • Bearer channels on Link 1 to 7 (source: all Loops +1 handset).

Analysis Functions

Protocol Event Generation

  • Physical level: E1 alarms.
  • C channels: HDLC frames.

Statistics Event Generation

  • BOP type event counters on C Channels.
  • Data-flow counters on BOP link at different protocol layers.

Protocol Specification for Display

  • Physical Link: E1 ITU recommendations  G703, G704.
  • C channels:
    • BOP envelope , 
    • V5 protocol stack: V5 EF, V5 Data Link, V5 Network
    • ISDN Q921, Q931

Simulation Functions

V5 Automatic Simulation

  • Interface specification
    • 1 to 7 E1 Links
    • 1 ISDN port (BRI or PRI) and 100 PSTN ports simulation
    • Protection, Control, Link Control, BCC, PSTN, ISDN
  • Automatic simulation over 100 PSTN ports and 1 ISDN port
  • Manual commands: send primitives applying to each ISDN/PSTN port, E1 Link (blocking, unblocking)

PSTN Automatic Simulation:

Behavior of each of the 100 ports: generator and/or responder.

  • Outgoing and incoming communications defined by a common specification:
    • IE buffer for SIGNAL, ESTABLISH, DISCONNECT messages.
    • Conditions on incoming events
    • Delays
  • Independent outgoing communications defined by:
    • Delays and digits for SIGNAL messages.
    • Number of repetitions and inter-communications delay.
    • Automatic digits sending
    • Manual commands: CALL, CLEAR, CLEAR ALL

Q931 Automatic Simulation:

One ISDN BRI / PRI port 

Behavior: generator (1 to 32 outgoing SETUP’s) and/or responder (acceptance, 30 incoming SETUP’s).

  • Independent outgoing communications defined by:
    • Delays and IE buffer for SETUP, INFOS, RELEASE.
    • Number of repetitions and inter-communications delay.
    • B channel establish and active source.
  • Identical incoming communications defined by:
    • ACCEPT/REJECT behavior.
    • Transmission option and IE buffer for response messages
    • Delay before CONNECT.
    • Establish and active source of the B channel:
  • Manual commands: CALL, CLEAR, INFO, RESTART, 

Emulation Functions

Physical Layer

  • Emulation mode: AN or LE
  • Protocol mode: V5.1 and V5.2,

V5 Link Layer

  • Setting of Parameters (time-limits, numbering)

V5 Network Layer: 

  • Selection of  ETSI specification (Ed1/ Ed2)
  • Start-up procedure configuration and V5.1 channels allocation
  • Setting of Parameters (time-limits, numbering...)

PSTN Network Layer

  • PSTN port provisioning, addressing

ISDN Link Layer: Q921

  • SAPI 0,16 and 63 initialization
  • Setting of Parameters (time-limits, numbering)

ISDN Network Layer: Q931

  • Selection of national variants (ETSI, NI2,ATT...)
  • Setting of Parameters (time-limits, numbering...)

Programmable Simulation

API

  • Use of CLARINET-Development C language
  • Microsoft format library.
  • Level N simulation using emulation on signaling channel.

Conformance Testing Simulation

ETS

  • The V5.1&V5.2 pr(I)ETS define V5-serie signaling protocol for:
    • LE equipment applying to Link Layer or Network Layer.
    • AN equipment applying to Link Layer or Network Layer.
  • These ETS products include the Executable Test Suites corresponding to a set of ETSI standards covering the V5-serie protocol specification.  ETS packages result from compilation with Clarinet TTCN compiler.
    • V5.1 protocol specifications ETS 300 324-1 (Edition 1 and 2)
    • V5.2 protocol specifications ETS 300 347-1 (Edition 1 and 2)
    • Template of profiles, PICS/PIXIT
    • Execution under Clarinet Run-time

ATS

  • The Clarinet TTCN compiler and the stack of emulators allow the users to develop or customize new ETS.
