Simulation

Because the Agilent Advisor is a multitasking instrument, the user can perform

any of the active stimulus/response tests while the analyzer simultaneously

monitors the tests effect on the network.

The Agilent Advisor WAN provides a series of pre-written and pre-configured

test routines; the user can easily write others. Test scripts can be customized and

saved as a new test to build a library of powerful test sequences tailored to the

user’s individual applications.

LMI Emulation

Emulation is understood in the Frame Relay Industry as the testing capability

of a test device to replace either side of the network and provide the functions

of the replaced side. This implies the implementation of appropriate state

machines, which allow the tester to interact according to protocol standards.

The Agilent Advisor provides the following emulation capabilities according to

the Frame Relay Forum Implementation Agreements FRF.1.1 and FRF.2.1 and

ITU-T Q.933 Annex A.

• UNI-User (CPE) Emulation

• UNI-Network (Switch) Emulation

• NNI Emulation (bi-directional polling)

The UNI-User (CPE) emulation implies unidirectional polling from the User or

Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) to the Network (Switch).

The UNI-Network (Switch) emulation implies unidirectional replies from the

Network (Switch) to polling from the User or Customer Premises Equipment

(CPE).

The NNI emulation implies bi-directional polling from Network to Network.

(NNI).

The simulation application allows transmitting ICMP PING Requests to the

network as well as the ability for sending a capture buffer to the network.
