Introduction

Introduction
With your purchase of the IBT-5, you have obtained an easy-to-use, robust and
compact tool for intensive and daily measurement on the ISDN basic rate access.
The IBT-5 is designed to reduce the time taken to install ISDN lines and
equipment. As easy to use as a telephone, it also enables rapid diagnostics of the
line under test. The IBT-5 is always ready for use thanks to its dual power supply
mode. It can be powered from the tested access or through its rechargeable
batteries.
You will see that the IBT-5 is a solid investment for the future. ISDN is subject to
constant development; new protocols and applications (or simple improvements to
existing IBT-5 features) can be loaded by an easy software update facility
implemented by downloading or changing the PROM.
Additional information on the IBT-5 application or on other IBT family products can
also be requested from your local representative. A list of these representatives is
found at the end of this manual.

IBT-5 functions without rechargeable batteries on this type of bus (normal
and restricted mode).
Connection to the network which does not provide the power supply at both
S0 and U interfaces: the instrument is internally powered through batteries
(option) and has an autonomy of at least 8 hours. The batteries can be
recharged after and during measurements through a specific charger.
Connection to an ISDN equipment with NT simulation (option): the
instrument is powered by the accu-pack (option).
The instrument recognizes automatically if it is powered from the tested access or
not.

1.3.2

Recharging the batteries in the accu-pack


You are informed of battery rundown half-an-hour before the automatic shutdown
of the IBT-5. When the LEDs flash orange for 2 seconds in every 60, it means that
the charger should be plugged in so that the test sequence in progress can be
completed.
The LEDs on the rechargeable batteries inform you when the charger is
connected and when a voltage is present (green LED) and indicate the charging
activity (red LED on: charging, red LED off: charging finished).
Important:

After a full discharge (red LED off), the 'Reset' button on


the rechargeable batteries in the accu-pack must be
pressed with a pointed tool after connecting the charger
(see figure 1-4).
As with any NiMH rechargeable battery, one or two charge

1.10.3 Private CorNet-T and CorNet-TS protocols


The CorNet-T and CorNet-TS protocols (registered trademark of Siemens AG)
are private protocols found only on the Siemens user-PABX interface, unlike other
protocols (e.g. EDSS1) which can also be found on user-network interfaces (U
interface and S/T interface).
The IBT-5 is the only test device in its range that currently supports the two
CorNet-T and CorNet-TS protocols. It enables call setups and BER tests on the
Siemens PABX accesses for rapid detection of the sources of terminal equipment
breakdown or transmission quality problems.
The CorNet-T protocol is available at the Siemens S/T interface (4 wires) and the
Siemens Up0 interface (2 wires) in the HiCom PBX product group.
The CorNet-TS protocol is used by the new Siemens Optiset products. It is also
to be found on the new Siemens UP0/E interface on PABXs in the HiCom E
product group. The protocol is described as a stimulus based on simple
exchanges of information between the PABX and the terminal. In this mode, the
functions available on the IBT-5 are the PHONE CALL and BIT ERR RATE
menus. The other conventional ISDN tests are not applicable to this interface.
Operation at the Up0 and Up0/E interfaces requires a Up0 adapter at the
S/T interface. The adapter is commonly referred to as a PNT, meaning Private
Network Termination.
1.10.4 Interface
The IBT-5 can be connected to three main types of logical interface:
The interface with automatic TEI allocation is the most common one.
The interface with a fixed TEI (TEI = 0) is generally used to connect small
PBXs to the network.
The last interface is a permanent link. In this case, the interface no longer
enables switching within the ISDN network. A permanent link exists between
this interface and the remote interface.
The instrument enables you to select 'PMP (Dyn TEI)', 'PP (TEI=0)', 'No Protocol'
and Auto-Config. The No Protocol parameter enables the use of the IBT-5 on a
permanent connection.
The selection of Auto-Config activates the Layer 2 auto-configuration function. In
this case, the IBT-5 automatically configures the parameter when the equipment is
powered up.

1.10.5 Selection of U or S0 interface


The external switch switches between U or S0 interfaces.
1.10.6 DTMF
The IBT-5 can generate voice frequencies (DTMF, Dual Tone MultiFrequency).
This function is available once a phone call is established (speech or Audio
3.1 kHz) on incoming or outgoing calls.
1.10.7 Self-call
By calling his own address (and sub-address if necessary), you can perform a
self-call in PHONE CALL, BIT ERR RATE or automatic TEST OF SERV modes.
Once the call has been accepted, the self call is indicated by displaying both
connected channels (2B).
This function is used to test the two B channels on an ISDN access in one
operation. The self-call function is not available when the IBT-5 is being used for
NT simulation.
1.10.8 LOOP BOX mode
When used as a loopbox, the IBT-5 automatically accepts up to two incoming calls
simultaneously and is also compatible with IBT family UUS (User to User
Signalling) remote commands. This feature enables the IBT-5 to act like an ISDN
and X.25/D loopbox at the U and S0 interfaces (see paragraph 2.2.3.6 for more
information).
1.10.9 PHONE CALL mode
The IBT-5 can be used like an ordinary telephone to send and receive calls. The
instrument receives calls only in the MAIN MENU.
It authorizes the testing of the Keypad facilities during call set-up and once the call
has been established. During call setup, the Keypad data ('0' to '9', '*', '#') is
encoded in place of the called address in the SETUP message. Once the call has
been established, the Keypad Facility information element is sent in the
INFORMATION message each time you press one of the keys ('0' to '9', '*', '#').
This function can be activated or deactivated in the CONFIGURATION menu.

the number.
1.10.10 PHONE-BOOK mode
This mode allows you to store up to 6 addresses, which can be used in other
menus by means of a phone book range number.
1.10.11 TEST OF SERV mode (Test of services)

1.10.11.1 Test of Bearer Capability (BC) / teleservices (HLC & LLC)


The IBT-5 allows you to check which ISDN services are available on the access
being tested. This is very important when commissioning ISDN Basic Rate
Accesses, especially if the test is carried out on the user side of a PBX. ISDN is
undergoing continuous development and many new services requiring testing will
soon be arriving on the market. New software supporting these new tests can be
added to the IBT-5 at a later date by means of a software upgrade (see
paragraph 1.10.18).
Two types of test of services are available in the instrument:
Manual test in the PHONE CALL menu: the following services are tested
independently: Audio 3.1 kHz, Speech, Speech BC, Data BC etc.
Automatic test of services with two modes (with and without charge), Audio
3.1 kHz, fax G4, speech, data (64K), data (56K), Teletext, Videotex etc.
In the 'Free of charge' mode, the service is considered as passed if the message
SETUP ACK is received. Only the availability for outgoing calls is checked.
In the 'Charged' mode, the service is considered as passed if the message
ALERTING or CONNECT is received. The availability of the service for both
outgoing and incoming is checked.
In the automatic TEST OF SERV mode, the test is carried out in two steps, first
the BC only and then the BC and HLC/LLC combined.

1.10.11.2 X.25 in D-channel test


The 'Commissioning' function of the IBT-5 simulates X.25 terminal equipment
connected on the S0 interface of the ISDN. You must know the X.25 parameters of
the equipment under test in order to validate them in the IBT-5. Access to the X.25
network via the D channel using the IBT-5 complies with the ITU-T X.31 standard,
case B, with and without call presentation. The function is used to check the
quality of the X.25 service by setting up a call and analyzing the quality of
reception of a previously-transmitted data packet. A self-call can also be run, as
can Layer 2 and 3 tests. A test can also be run on data fields. These tests are also
enabled during a call to a remote device implementing a loop (IBT family testers or
another device capable of looping onto X.25 call packet recognition). The IBT-5
provides a very quick means of diagnosing ISDN problems (the network supplies a
Layer 2 frame service) or of diagnosing problems caused by the packet network
undertaking the end-to-end transfer of X.25 packets (Layer 3).

1.10.11.3 Test of supplementary services for EDSS-1, EDSS-CH (SN3), 1TR67 and
VN6
The IBT-5 can be used to test the following supplementary services:
Calling addresses (CLIP and CLIR),
Connected addresses (COLP and COLR),
Sub-addressing (SUB),
Advice Of Charge (AOC),
Terminal Portability (TP),
Hold (HOLD),
Call Forwarding functions (CFU, CFB, CFNR),
Closed User Group (CUG),
Malicious Call Identification during a call (MCID1),
Malicious Call Identification at the end of a call (MCID2),
User-to-User Signaling when establishing a call (UUS1),
User-to-User Signaling between alerting and active phase (UUS2),
User-to-User Signaling during active phase (UUS3).
After activating the supplementary services to be tested (available on the network)
in the CONFIGURATION menu, the IBT-5 simply runs an automatic test in order
to validate the actual presence of these services from the access being tested.

WWG IBT-5 User Manual

1.10.12 BIT ERR RATE mode (transmission quality test)


The BIT ERR RATE mode is used to measure the transmission quality of ISDN
connections (leased lines or switched circuits). Brief measurements are sufficient
during maintenance and installation operations. The instrument performs a BER
test with G.821 analysis (no slip detection) for both single call and self-call
(available for 56 and 64 kbps). It is then possible to insert errors manually during a
test in order to test the network's ability to support such errors.
1.10.13 NT Simulation mode (option for EDSS-1, 1TR6, 1TR67, EDSS-CH (SN 3), VN3,
VN4, VN6, Q.SIG and TPH1962)
When the IBT-5 includes the 'NT Simulation' option, it can simulate ISDN at the
S0 interface. This simulation is useful when commissioning ISDN equipment (e.g.
a PBX). Before connecting up an ISDN PBX, a functional test must be carried out.
Thanks to the IBT-5, it is possible to set up a call with the various terminals
connected behind the PBX and perform very simple services and addressing
schedule tests.
All the tests available for the 'Terminal' simulation can be used for the 'Network'
simulation (NT Simulation) except the self-call function.
This operating mode requires the use of the NT cable adapter (S2500) and the
accu-pack.
1.10.14 Interrogation, activation and deactivation of call forwardings
By implementing the 'Generic Functional Protocol', the IBT-5 enables you to
obtain and modify the actual configuration of supplementary services relating to
call forwarding unconditional (CFU), busy lines (CFB) or no-response (CFNR). In
addition to interrogation, you can activate and deactivate each call forwarding
using the addressing and service criteria of your choice on a given access.
With the VN4 protocol, call forwarding unconditional (CFU) or no-response
(CFNR) can be activated using the same menus. In this case, the IBT-5 sends the
National Facility information element, see Appendix 5.

1.10.15 D-channel trace


The instrument displays the information of each protocol layer of the D channel
and the causes of possible failure. When this trace has been interpreted, it
provides an easily-understandable explanation of problems arising on the network
(layers 1, 2 and 3) for users with no expert knowledge of ISDN.
1.10.16 Real-time trace
Thanks to the accu-pack with serial interface, the IBT-5 can be used to transfer
the D-channel ISDN signalling in real time to a PC. This function is limited to
exchanges between the IBT-5 and the access tested. The Windows PC
Detailed Decoder or ISDNpartner software then implements full analysis of the
trace. These software programs are already used by instruments such as the
IBT-10 (ISDN tester for basic rate access), IBT-20 (ISDN tester for primary rate
access) and IUM-10 (U-interface monitor).
The IBT-5 can then take advantage of the wide range of functions (filters, trigger,
editing facilities etc.) of these programs to provide complete analysis of the
exchanges between the IBT-5 and the network.
1.10.17 Printing and storage of results
Thanks to the accu-pack with serial interface, the IBT-5 can print out all the test
results (BER, test of services and supplementary services, X.25 test and
questions relating to call forwardings on the access). The IBT-5 is compatible with
any serial printer via the RS-232 interface. The results can be transferred and
stored on a PC by means of simple terminal emulation.

Concept
The scrolling menus make the IBT-5 very simple to use. Whether selecting a
menu or parameter value, or running a test, the IBT-5 has been ergonomically
designed to make handling as easy and fast as possible.
Particular effort was put into making the IBT-5 as flexible as possible. This is why
the IBT-5 offers an innovatory function i.e. configuration customization. It is no
longer necessary to modify the values of parameters linked to various tests.
Instead, the IBT-5 allows you to choose the parameters for which the values can
be modified just before starting a test. It is then possible to 'lock in' the parameter
values considered to be 'set' and to keep modifiable those which will probably be
subject to frequent change during the running of a test. You only specify the value
of these modifiable parameters when running a test based on interactive
parameters. This flexibility allows you to customize your instrument depending on
the different types of tests you may have to carry out.

CONFIGURATION menu
This menu contains the installation parameters and the customization menu
parameters. It enables the user:
To select a current value in a scrolling menu or to define a value according to
parameter type. This value will be automatically taken into account in all
corresponding menus or measurements.
To indicate the interactive value: no intrinsic value is allocated to the
parameter. The instrument automatically asks for the value when it is needed
for a given measurement.
The modification of a parameter is stored in the permanent memory as soon as it
is validated by the Yes key. When the configuration is modified, the Clr key is
used to return to the previous value of the configuration parameter. Activate the
key a second time to return to the MAIN MENU.
When you switch the instrument off, the value which has been changed in the
configuration retains its new value. The configuration can be returned to its initial
setup at any time (default values for all the parameters) using the RESET
function.

2.2.1

Instrument configuration parameters


The modification of an instrument configuration parameter is taken into account as
soon as it has been validated by the Yes key.

2.2.1.1

TE / NT operating mode ('NT Simulation' option only)


When the IBT-5 is equipped with the 'NT Simulation' option, it has two operating
modes - TE (Terminal simulation) and NT (ISDN Network simulation for protocols
EDSS-1, 1TR6, 1TR67, EDSS-CH (SN 3), VN3, VN4, VN6 and TPH1962). The
terminal simulation tests are run at interfaces S0 and U in TE Simulation mode. If
the NT Simulation mode is selected, you run the tests for the IBT-5 connected to
the S0 interface of an ISDN device by simulating the network (when operating in
NT mode, the IBT-5 must be equipped with the accu-pack and NT S2500
adapter).

No signal: 'No Sound',
Test errors: 'Test errors',
Key and test errors: 'All errors',
All events: 'Full'.

2.2.1.4

S0 interface impedance
The terminal resistance is selected by the S0 IMPEDANCE configuration
parameter which can be positioned on '100 ' or on 'High' (i.e. high impedance).

2.2.2

Protocol configuration parameters


All modifications of the protocol configuration parameters are taken into
consideration as soon as they are validated by the Yes key. It is always possible
to configure a parameter in 'Interactive' mode in order to select a value when the
test is run. For incoming calls, if a parameter is in the 'Interactive' mode, it is the
default value which is taken into account.

2.2.2.1

TEI management / Autoconfiguration


The IBT-5 can be connected to three types of interface. The TEI parameter is
used to select 'PMP (Dyn TEI)', 'PP (TEI = 0)' and 'No Protocol' in the case of a
permanent link. The 'Auto Config.' value in the TEI parameter indicates that the
IBT-5 is automatically attempting to configure this parameter when the device is
powered up. The result can be: 'TEI found PP' or 'TEI found PMP'. If the network
does not allow for TEI autoconfiguration, the default value is used. You can
interrupt the autoconfiguration by pressing the Clr key.

2.2.2.3

Layer 3 protocol
The IBT-5 handles as standard up to 7 different layer 3 protocols which can be
configured by means of the L3 PROTOCOL parameter (this does not apply to IBT5's equipped with only one protocol). The interactive value is allowed if at least two
protocols are available. The possible values of the layer 3 protocol are as follows:
EDSS-1, 1TR6, VN3, VN4, VN6, SN 2, EDSS-CH (SN 3), BTNR191, TPH1962,
NTT, Q.931, Telenokia, Televerket, Q.SIG, V1, 1TR67, AT&T Custom, N-ISDN,
DMS-100 functional, TN1R6, CorNet-TS and CorNet-T (registered trademark
Siemens AG).
For users wishing a selection of protocols other than the protocols supplied by
default, please read paragraph 2.9 'INFORMATION menu'.

2.2.2.4

Service profile identifier (SPID and SPID2) (American protocols only)


The SPID (Service Profile IDentifier) is widely used in Australia and in the United
States, but not in Europe. The SPID parameter is only used by the following
protocols: N-ISDN, AT&T Custom and DMS-100. It is sent by a user (terminal) to
the network. This allows the network to assign two identifiers known as the USID
(User Service IDentifier) and TID (Terminal IDentifier) to the transmitting terminal.
The value can be entered in the SPID parameter.
During self-calls, the network can use two different SPIDs - one for the outgoing
call and the other for the incoming call. In this case, the SPID parameter is
associated with the calling number (calling address) and the SPID2 parameter
with the called number (called address).

Address of the installation


If required, the terminal address can be entered in the OWN ADDRESS
parameter. The format is : address*subaddress.
For the 1TR6, TN1R6 and Swissnet 2 (SN 2) protocols, the extension value (EAZ)
must be entered in the sub-address part of the own address. Only the first figure
in the sub-address is taken into account. Its default value is '0'. Global calls are
accepted.

2.2.2.6

User to user signalling availability


This parameter reflects the availability of the User to User Signalling (UUS)
system to which the IBT-5 is connected. When the USER-USER SIGN
configuration parameter indicates that the device is 'available', it always adds a
specific UUS when establishing a call for a BERT. All Wavetek Wandel
Goltermann IBT products automatically loop back on the receiving B channel
when they recognize the specific WWG UUS.

2.2.2.7

Keypad Facilities
This parameter allows you to confirm the sending of Keypad Facilities when
pressing the '0' to '9', '*', '#' keys during a call.

2.2.3

Test configuration parameters


A test configuration parameter is taken into account as soon as a test requiring
this parameter is run. All the test configuration parameters give the choice of the
interactive mode. In this case, the IBT-5 will prompt you for this parameter value
each time it is needed.

PHONE CALL menu


Menu description
You can implement a phone call very easily directly from the PHONE CALL menu.
Before running a measurement, you should select the value of the parameters to
be positioned in 'Interactive' mode in the CONFIGURATION menu. The interactive
parameters (CODING LAW, TEI, L3 PROTOCOL, SPID for American protocols
only, OWN ADDRESS, B CHANNEL and PHONE SERVICE) are placed between
the top of the PHONE CALL menu and the CALLED ADDRESS parameter which
is the last parameter proposed.

Configuration parameters
The parameters set to 'Interactive' in the CONFIGURATION menu are suggested
once you enter the PHONE CALL menu.

Address field
The syntax for address and sub-address fields (calling and called addresses) is as
follows:
Maximum number of digits
CALLED ADDRESS
(incl. sub-address): 27
0299847040*256_
The '*' is used to separate the sub-address from the address.
A decimal digit or a '#' are used to enter the PHONE CALL menu in direct mode.
In this case, the first item in the phone book is suggested (if the phone book is
initialized).

2.4.3

Keypad Facilities
The IBT-5 enables the Keypad facilities to be tested when a call is set up or has
been established. During call establishment, the Keypad information element ('0'
to '9', '*', '#') is encoded in place of the called party address in the SETUP. In order
to transmit the Keypad information element, you proceed in exactly the same way
as for a simple phone call. The Keypad characters should be preceded by '*' in the
field reserved for the called party address.
E.g.: Call forwarding to number 7055 if line engaged (EDSS-1 protocol only):
Activation message: '*67*7055#'. The syntax is as follows:
CALLED ADDR.
**67*7055#

Deactivation message: #67#. The syntax is as follows:


CALLED ADDR.
*#67#

Once the call has been established, you can send Keypad facilities in
INFORMATION messages only by using keys '0' to '9', '*', '#'. This function can be
deactivated in the CONFIGURATION menu thanks to the KEYPAD FAC.
parameter (Activated/Deactivated).

WWG IBT-5 User Manual

Overlap sending
The default dialling procedure is 'en bloc' which means that the full address is
present in the call setup message. To activate overlap dialling (overlap sending
only), you must validate an empty address once the address field is displayed. In
this case, the IBT-5 sends a SETUP message without address information and
runs the overlap sending mode. You can then dial the called address which will be
transmitted to the network one digit at a time in INFORMATION type messages.

2.4.5

Use of the phone book


This procedure is available for any address parameter in all the tests.
During address editing, the phone book address is accessed by the '#' or 'n#'
escape sequence where n is a phone book item number. The first or the
designated phone book address is proposed, respectively. A phone book item is
displayed in the following form:

Manual error insertion


The IBT-5 enables you to insert errors manually during a BERT by pressing the '0'
key. The bit error is then displayed on the monitor.

2.5.3 Test modes


The BIT ERR RATE test can be implemented on the IBT-5 in various modes:
1. Self-call: This is the most commonly used test mode. The IBT-5 is connected
to an ISDN access (U or S/T interface) and dials its own number. A self-call is
set up using both B channels. The BERT test is then used to test outgoing and
incoming transmission quality in both B channels up to the first piece of
equipment in the operator network.

2. End-to-end test with a loopbox: This test mode is used to call an ISDN
loopbox connected to a remote access. The loopback function can be provided
by another IBT-5. In this case, the test checks transmission quality between
the two sites using the ISDN. Only one B channel is tested at a time, for
outgoing and incoming calls.
However, if a problem arises, the unsatisfactory direction of transmission is not
specified.

2-23

Use of the WWG IBT-5

WWG IBT-5 User Manual

3. End-to-end test using two IBT-5s: In this case, a call is set up between two
IBT-5s. Each of the devices transmits a test sequence that is analyzed by the
other IBT-5. The test checks one B channel at a time (outgoing and incoming
calls) and detects the direction of trasmission that is generating errors, if a
problem arises.

To activate this test, select a Data service on the calling IBT-5 and run the
BER test, specifying the address of the second IBT-5 as the called address.
The second IBT-5, operating in PHONE CALL mode, takes the incoming call
and proposes to run a BER test. Press the Yes key to synchronize the two
IBT-5s.
2.5.4 Print-out of results
At the end of the test, you can print out the test results if your instrument is
equipped with the 'accu-pack with serial interface'. The print-out can be obtained
with a conventional serial printer or a terminal emulation on a PC (see
paragraph 1.9). To print out the results, connect the IBT-5 to the printer or PC and

(Call Forwarding Unconditional), CFB (Call Forwarding when line Busy) and CFNR
(Call Forwarding when No-Response). The IBT-5 can be used to activate or
deactivate these supplementary services depending on the addresses and
services required.
To question the status of the call forwarding configuration, select the main
'SUP. SERVICES' menu, validate 'Interrogation' and select CFU, CFB or CFNR.
To activate a call forwarding, select 'Activate' in the main 'SUP. SERVICES' menu.
Having selected the required supplementary service (CFU, CFB, CFNR), select
the service (or 'All Services') and the address to which the call is to be transferred
(the address at which the forwarding is activated is the installation address
configured in the CONFIGURATION menu. If this address has not been filled in,
the forwarding will be activated for all the addresses called).
Deactivating call forwardings is performed in the same way as activation (but the
IBT-5 does not ask for an address).

LOOP BOX menu


This menu is used to activate or deactivate the LOOP BOX mode. Two modes are
offered: ISDN LOOP BOX and X.25/D LOOP BOX.
In ISDN LOOP BOX mode, it is possible to set the IBT-5 loop condition. You
select one of the following values: 'All Incom Calls', 'WG Remote' or 'Interactive'
for the LOOP BOX MODE parameter in the CONFIGURATION menu.

In the 'Interactive' mode, the choice between the two modes ('All Incom Calls'
and 'WG Remote') is systematically proposed before activation of the loopbox.
The other values offered before switching to loop mode concern TEI, L3
PROTOCOL, SPID (for American protocols only), and OWN ADDRESS if the
parameters are positioned in 'Interactive' mode in the CONFIGURATION
menu.
The IBT-5 automatically loops the incoming calls, in accordance with the
loopback condition selected, as long as you do not stop the test by pressing
the Clr (or No) key.

In All Incom Calls mode, the B channel selected by the incoming call is set to
loop-back mode (Rx Tx). From software version 6.01, the IBT-5 can
simultaneously accept two incoming calls and loop both corresponding
B channels.

In WG Remote mode, the incoming call is accepted if the UUS contains the
WG remote loop back command. The B channel selected by the incoming call
is set to loop-back (Rx Tx).
This function is useful because it can run a remote quality test on an
operational access without interrupting transmission. Leave the IBT-5
configured on WG Remote and the device will accept only calls from a tester;
it will not accept all incoming calls.

When 'No protocol' is selected in the TEI management parameter, the selected B
channel is set in loop-back mode (Rx Tx). When you do not enter the channel
(Bx value), B1 is selected.
In ISDN LOOP BOX mode, the IBT-5 displays the following:
2826

In X.25/D LOOP BOX mode, the IBT-5 offers you the parameters configured in
interactive mode in the X.25/D profile of the CONFIGURATION menu before it is

activated. The IBT-5 then loops back on all incoming calls automatically as long as
you do not end the test by pressing the Clr (or No) key.
In X.25/D LOOP BOX mode, the IBT-5 displays the following:
2826
Con. LCN: xx
when XX is the logical channel number

In order for the IBT-5 to automatically restart in LOOP BOX mode (ISDN or
X.25/D) after a deconnection/reconnection, none of the parameters should
be in 'Interactive' mode.

2.10 TRANSFER menu


2.10.1 Prerequisite
In order to make full use of the IBT-5 transfer function, you require:
An IBT-5 compatible with the Accu-Pack with serial interface option (all
functions available from series DA up),
A K 2511 serial cable,
A PC equipped with the Windows PC Detailed Decoder (from version 5.01
up) or ISDNpartner software. These programs are now available in English,
French and German.
The following functions (Real-time trace, print-out of results and downloading) are
then available via the serial interface.
2.10.2 Real-time trace
Combined with the Windows PC Detailed Decoder software, the IBT-5 allows
you to obtain detailed real-time analysis of the ISDN signal exchanged between
the instrument and the network. All the functions of the analysis software are now
available on a PC, giving a rapid explanation of ISDN connection problems.
The real-time trace must previously be activated in the TRANSFER menu. It is
deactivated each time you switch off the instrument. This means that the IBT-5
must be connected to the PC using the K 2511 serial cable, the Windows PC
Detailed Decoder software must be run and the real-time trace must be activated
on the IBT-5. You then have access to a high-level analysis function on a PC.

2.10.3 Print-out of results


The IBT-5 can print all test results (BERT, test of services and supplementary
services, X.25/D test, network interrogation for call forwardings). The results can
be sent to a serial printer or a PC with simple terminal emulation. The print-out of
results is proposed at the end of each test.
The default serial interface configuration for data transfer during the print-out of
results is as follows:
Bit rate: 9600 bit/s
Number of data bits: 8
Parity bit: none
Protocol: none
Stop bit: 1
The results are printed out in condensed mode over 80 columns.
2.10.4 Downloading
The IBT-5 can download new software versions or options directly from a PC. This
ensures that you can take advantage of the latest functions. To download a
software version, see the update forms supplied with each update kit.
The downloading function is only compatible from the DA series of the IBT-5 up.

2.10.5 Analysis with the PC-based expert system


Combined with the ISDNpartner software, the IBT-5 allows you to obtain in real
time an expert analysis to automatically view the signature of the known problems
and to deduce a list of corrective actions.
The real-time trace must previously be activated in the TRANSFER menu. It is
deactivated each time you switch the instrument off. This means that the IBT-5
must be connected to the PC using the serial cable K 2511, the ISDNpartner
software must be run and the real-time trace must be activated on the IBT-5. You
then have access to expert analysis on a PC.

2.11 'NT Simulation' option


When equipped with the 'NT Simulation' option, the IBT-5 can simulate ISDN in
order to enable testing of services, addresses or accessibility of terminals
connected to a PBX prior to commissioning. NT simulation requires the following
in order to function correctly:
'NT Simulation' option,
accu-pack to power up the IBT-5 (BN 7522/90.09 or 7522/92.22),
IBT-5 hardware, with a serial number beginning with CExxxx (or above),
NT adapter (BN S2500) connected between the RJ-45 socket in the IBT-5
and the network access on the ISDN equipment being tested.
To configure the IBT-5 in network simulation, select NT MODE in the
CONFIGURATION menu. To return to the terminal simulation mode, select
TE MODE in the CONFIGURATION menu.
When the IBT-5 is equipped with the 'NT Simulation' option, the screen indicates
the current mode (NT or TE). In this case, each main screen displays the mode:
NT Simulation
mode

MAIN MENU S/NT


TEST OF SERV

TE Simulation
mode

MAIN MENU S/TE


TEST OF SERV

The protocols supported by the IBT-5 in NT Simulation mode are as follows:


EDSS-1, 1TR6, 1TR67, EDSS-CH (SN 3), VN3, VN4, VN6 and TPH1962.
Apart from the self-call function, all the tests described in the above paragraphs
can be performed in NT mode when applicable. In NT mode, the most frequentlyused functions are phone call (with address / significant service parameters),
automatic test of services or BER test.
An external bus supply can be provided for terminal equipment connected to the
IBT-5. This supply must be on the same side of the adapter as the terminal
equipment.
