How to monitor CAS signalling bits

Clarinet system supports the monitoring of the abcd signalling bits:

  • over the E1 interface in the TS 16
  • over the T1 interface through the CAS channel

Connecting the unit

The Clarinet Book USB E1/T1 uses the both A and B ports for monitoring the both T and R directions. See the pictures in 'How to connect E1/T1 interface to Clarinet-Book USB'

Setting the test conditions for CAS monitoring

A new profile can be created with the Wizard from the Template list by selecting:

  • Profile->New->Trunk E1 T1......See: building
  • Profile with a description including Trunk, Monitor, PH=E1 or  T1, DL=BOP
  • Filter with a description including DL=BOP

Profile resulting from the wizard is ready for monitoring in High Impedance mode.

Example: Modifications to monitor CAS over E1 interface

In the profile access to E1-Options :

  • select abcd signalling on TS 16
Example: Modifications to monitor CAS over T1 interface

In the profile access to T1-Options  :

  • select abcd signalling mode
  • check that channels supporting CAS signalling are deselected in the to 64 Kbits/s data TS

Running the profile

To launch the profile:

  • Select Profile->Run or click over horse_on.gif (968 octets) . It allows to select the name of profile. See Running a test
  • The windows of the Event-Editor is automatically opened.

To stop the profile

  • Click over horse_off.gif (975 octets)  See: Stopping a test
  • The window of the Event-Editor is automatically close

Troubleshooting over PRI

  • No messages displayed on the Event-Editor windows. Check if the Alarms line have an indication  such as ' -+ FL' or '++FL' meaning that no signal is detected. 
  • The protocol messages are displayed on the wrong directions: the E1 or T1 pair connected to the A and B port are the reverse side.
