If you are setting up a test device that is already connected to a test network, however, and you plan to change the type of test, you may need to change the cabling for the network connection.
Special Considerations for Dial-Up Connections

Exiting the Analysis Software does not disconnect the dial-up session. The session will be disconnected when you exit the Connection Wizard software, or when you make a connection to another phone number/IP address. You can only have one dial-up session at a time. A dial-up connection will fail if the PC has the LAN IP interface configured with a network address that is on the same subnet as the IP address of the test device. (For example, the connection will fail if the LAN IP address for the PC is 192.168.1.10, and the IP address of the test device is 192.168.1.100, both having a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.) A workaround is available for this issue. For details, see the Connection Wizard Help at Start/All Programs/Acterna/Acterna DA-3400 and DA-3600A/Connection Help.
Using the Analysis Software to Configure the Interface

After you have installed the Analysis Software on the controlling PC and established communication between the PC and test device, you need to use the Analysis Software to configure the interface. For detailed information, see the online Help for the application that you are using.
44
Getting Started
To access the online Help, do one of the following: Click the Help icon on the toolbar of the application. In Windows, click Start/All Programs/Acterna/Acterna DA-3400 and DA-3600A, and select the Help file that you want to view.
Cabling for the DA-3400 and DA-3600A Standard Mode Applications

When the PC and the test device are communicating, and the software is appropriately configured for the interface, you are ready to connect the test device to the network to be tested. The way that you connect the test device to the network varies, depending on the interface and the type of testing that you will be doing. Use the cabling diagrams in this section to guide you.
Ethernet Analysis Software

The 10/100/1000 Ethernet Interface can be set up in any of four access modes: Inline Monitor, Monitor, Originate, and Turn Up. If you are connecting to an electrical circuit, connect the appropriate cable from the back of the test device to the network under test. For optical circuits, connect the fiber optic cable from the back of the test device to the network under test. For connector locations, see Rear Panel on page 21.
Inline Monitor Mode

When the PC and the test device are communicating and the software is set up in Inline Monitor mode, connect appropriate cables from the back of the test device to the test circuit, as shown in Figure 3-8. Data received on RX1 is forwarded out RX2 and vice versa. Both connections must be active before monitoring will start. The test device is an active device in your network when in Inline Monitor mode.
45
Getting Started
NOTES:
EMC compliance requires the use of a shielded twisted pair Ethernet cable to connect the test device to the controlling PC and also to connect the 10/100/1000 Interface Module to the circuit under test. When you are classifying data by IP Subnet, connect the network under test to RX1, because source addresses on RX1 and destination addresses on RX2 will be used for the identification of subnets.
Warnings: Network service must be interrupted before you can install the test device inline between network devices. Changing the access mode, the interface type, or the negotiation capabilities while in Inline Monitor mode will take the link down. Any changes that cause the test device to reboot, such as changing the test device's IP address, will take the link down.
Figure 3-8. Cabling the Test Device for Inline Monitor Mode
Monitor Mode
When the PC and the test device are communicating and the software is set up in Monitor mode, connect appropriate cables from the back of the test device to the test circuit, as shown in Figure 3-9.

Appendix A: System Administration
Software Version Management

When you connect to a test device, the version number of the Analysis Software on the PC (the client software) should match the version number of the software on the test device. If the version number of the Analysis Software on the PC is lower than the version number of the test device software, a message appears telling you to upgrade the client software. The software will shut down automatically. Obtain the upgrade version from your system administrator. If the version number of the device software is lower than the version number of the client software on the PC, a message appears when you connect, telling you to download the newer version of the device software. Click Yes to perform the upgrade. Do not power off the test device while the upgrade is taking place. If the connection to the test device is lost during the upgrade, try to restart the software and reconnect. If the test device loses power during the upgrade process, try to reboot the test device. If the test device does not recover, contact JDSUs Technical Assistance Center. (See Technical Assistance on page 12.)
You can use the keypad and display on the front panel of the test device to determine the version numbers of the software packages installed on the test device.
63
System Administration
To display software version numbers on the display of the test device: u When the IP address and hostname fields appear on the test device, press Enter. The display cycles through the version numbers for all of the software packages that are installed on the test device.
Setting the Test Devices Timing

You can synchronize the test devices timing in one of two wayswith your PC, or with an NTP server. You can also set the time on the test device to any desired time (not synchronized to your PC or an NTP server.)
DA-3400 and DA-3600A Standard Mode Applications

Synchronizing the Test Device with the PC
The test device has its own clock. When the test device captures data, that data is timestamped with the time of the test device. To ensure that the time that you are running the test matches the data timestamps, it is useful to synchronize the two times. To synchronize test device and PC dates and times: 1. From the Setup menu, choose Device Configuration. The Device Configuration dialog box appears. The IP address of the test device appears in the Information area. 2. Click Synchronize time with PC to update the test device with the PCs time. The test device restarts.
NOTE:
To set the time on the test device to any desired time (not synchronized with your PC or an NTP server), simply select the date and time, and press OK.
64
Synchronizing the Test Device with an NTP Server

The test devices timing can be synchronized with as many as three Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers on the network. You set up test device synchronization by adding an NTP servers IP address from the Device Configuration dialog box. Once you have specified an IP address, synchronization is performed during the initial device startup or during any future Test Restarts. To synchronize the test device with an NTP server: 1. From the Setup menu, choose Device Configuration. The Device Configuration dialog box appears with a Use NTP Time Server area near the top. 2. Check Use NTP Time Server. 3. Under New NTP Server, specify an IP address and click Add. You can do this up to three times to configure multiple NTP servers. The IP address you defined appears directly below the Add area. 4. Click OK. The test device synchronizes with the NTP server during an initial device startup or during Test Restart.
NOTES:
When you have configured a test device to use an NTP time server, the test device itself will function as an NTP server, providing time information in response to queries from other devices. To set the time on the test device to any desired time (not synchronized with your PC or an NTP server), simply select the date and time, and press OK. Any change to the NTP configuration will cause the test device to reboot.
DA-3600A Advanced and Streaming Mode Applications

Synchronizing the Test Device with an NTP Server
In DA-3600A Advanced and Streaming modes, you can use NTP to synchronize DA-3600A test devices with as many as three NTP servers on the network.
65
To enable NTP: 1. Open a telnet or console session to the test device and log in as usual. For information about configuring the test devices serial port for a console session, see Left Side Panel on page 26. For information about logging in to the test device, see Test Device Security on page 60. 2. Change to the acterna folder: cd /acterna 3. Enter the following command: cycconf -ntp on <-nts1 ipaddr> [-nts2 ipaddr -nts3 ipaddr] The variable ipaddr is the IP address of an NTP server. At a minumum, you must specify an address for nts1. IP addresses are in standard 1.2.3.4 format. When prompted to reboot, answer affirmatively. To disable NTP: 1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above to go to the acterna folder on the test device. 2. Enter the following command: cycconf -ntp off When prompted to reboot, answer affirmatively.
NOTE:
When you have configured a test device to use an NTP time server, the test device itself will function as an NTP server, providing time information in response to queries from other devices.
Installing DA-3400 and DA-3600A Standard Mode Options

Various hardware and software options are available for use with DA3400 and DA-3600A Standard mode systems. (See Table 2-2 on page 28.)
66
Software options include VoIP Analysis (Part Number DA3400SVoIP), Voice over ATM Analysis (Part Number DA3400T-VoATM), and Application Response Time for Ethernet (Part Number DA3400Tappres). Hardware options, such as the Gigabit Ethernet Upgrade Option (Part Number DA3000T-1G) and the 622 ATM Upgrade Option (Part Number DA3000T-622) are installed on the physical interface. So, if the interface is moved to another test device, the option goes with it. To see the status of the options on your system: u From the Setup menu in the Analysis Software, choose Install Options. The Install Options dialog box (Figure 3-38) is displayed, listing the available options and their status.
Figure 3-38. Install Options Dialog Box
Options are available either on a temporary basis or as permanently installed options. Permanent options appear as "Licensed Options," while temporary options show either the expiration date or the number of days until the trial period ends. When a temporary option expires, its status is "Not Installed." To install an option that is not currently installed: u On the Install Options dialog box (Figure 3-38), click Install New Options and follow the instructions on the expanded dialog.
67
Test Device File Maintenance for DA-3600A Advanced Mode

Several features and functions of the Advanced Mode of the DA3600A system produce files that are stored on the test device hard drive. These include: Trending database files Capture files Flow statistic export files BGP Route Import files RSVP Label Path Table utility files Protocol event export files (from the TestPMEvents.tcl script)
These files can increase in both size and number, consuming excessive hard drive space. To periodically reduce the number of files, you can access the test device hard drive by using SSH and logging in as, or changing to, superuser. You can then delete files, or use PSCP, an implementation of SCP (secure copy), to move them to your computers hard drive. The PSCP executable is installed with the software. To run PSCP, access the command prompt and type (all on one line):
pscp.exe -r -pw <password> root@<ip address>:<source path> <destination path>
The example below will move all of the files in the CoreDb_13Apr2003 subdirectory to the temp directory on your hard drive.
pscp.exe -r -pw R!pCu^1z root@123.45.87.6:/var/lib/mysql/CoreDb_13Apr2003 C:\Temp
NOTE: The recursive switch (-r) modifies the command so that it will move all
of the files under the source directory.
68
File and Directory Locations

To help you locate the data files on the test device, the table below provides you with the default location and file or directory name format for each data type created. With the command line utilities and scripting, there are exceptions to the information in this table. See the DA-3600A Advanced Mode: Command Line Interface Reference for more information. Data type

NOTE: In the directory where the trending databases are located (/var/lib/mysql/mysql), there are other MySQL database files that should not be altered or moved. Doing so may prevent MySQL from operating properly.
For the above file name formats: mmm is a three letter abbreviation for the month. dd is a two digit representation for the day. the time (hhmm or hhmmss) is in 24 hour format. the trending database directory name is the top level directory for each database. To either delete or move a database, select this directory in order to select all of the corresponding database files.
69
Trending Database Files

A trending database is created whenever you start Flow Tracker after configuring it to save historical data on flows. This database continues to grow until you exit Flow Tracker. When you exit and restart Flow Tracker with trending enabled, a new database is created. While in Flow Tracker, you can only view the current trending database. To view trending databases created previously, you must move the database to your computers hard drive and access the database with any application that supports the MySQL 3.23 format. Be sure to move the entire top level directory and all of its files. For more information about MySQL and to download the server software, go to http://www.mysql.com. If you wish to use a graphical interface to view the database, there are several tools such as MySQL-Front and MySQLGUI. The trending databases have two tables that contain flow data. These tables are linked by the id field.
flowDescriptor_tbl
This table contains information that describes each flow.

flowStatistics_tbl
This table contains information on the statistics associated with each flow at a specific time. There is a one-to-many relationship between flows defined in the flowDescriptor table and statistics in the flowStatistics table.

Capture Files
The capture file is overwritten each time that the capture buffer contents are saved to the test device when using the GUI. However, when using scripting via the command line interface to control capturing, you must designate a file name that can be different from the default used by the GUI. Additionally, you can designate a location for the capture file (which must be a sub-directory under the default path used by the GUI).
71
Exported Flow Statistics Files

When you export flow statistics, using the GUI, a new timestamped file is created automatically. When using scripting, you must choose a file name. Additionally, you can designate a location for the file (which must be a sub-directory under the default path used by the GUI).
BGP Route Import Files

The BGP Route Import feature is a command line interface utility that converts BGP routes to flows, runs the Flow Tracker application, and correlates statistics by autonomous system numbers. The correlated data collected is stored in CSV files.
RSVP Label Path Table Utility Files

The RSVP label path table utility collects all RSVP messages from the network, filters them according to source and destination, and displays the results in a table. The data from the table is stored on the test device in CSV format and can be retrieved for offline analysis. Every time you run the utility, a separate folder is created on the test device under /usr/local/cane/data/rsvpTunnel The folder is named for the time that it is run, in UNIX time (for example, 1026399776). The CSV files are named for the tunnel. For example, Tunnel9.9.9.1_1.csv contains all of the messages for the 9.9.9.1:1 tunnel. Messages that cannot be associated with known tunnel are stored in a file named otherMessages.csv. For more information on the file locations and uses of the BGP Route Import and RSVP label path table utilities mentioned above, see the DA-3600A Advanced Mode: Command Line Interface Reference.
