  • Page 8: About This User Guide

    About this user guide This user guide describes the Protocol Analyzer Package (PAP). It covers the installation and operation of the PrimeSwitch 100 Series Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) PAP. PAP is available for both Primary Rate and Basic Rate in a number of protocol variations.

  • Page 9: Using This Guide

    Using this guide The guide contains the following sections: Overview describes how PAP processes network traffic. The PAP screen describes the main screen and illustrates how PAP displays messages. Commands describes how to control PAP with function keys and typed commands.

  • Page 10: Overview

    PAP uses COM ports on the PC to transfer information to and from a PrimeSwitch ISDN module. PAP can monitor multiple ISDN interfaces on PrimeSwitch 100 Series modules which have more than one (for example, the DTM or QBRM), and can use either COM1, COM2 or BOTH at the same time on the PC.

    This default can be overridden from the command line as follows: PAPXXXX REAL PAPXXXX VIRTUAL These overrides should not be used unless problems are experienced with the default. The size of the buffer therefore depends on the amount of memory (RAM) available in the computer, and the amount used by other programs.
