Capturing & Analysing Protocol Information - Section 3
Understanding the simple decode
The simple decode shows basic information about Layer 1,
Layer 2 and Layer 3 events, with a timestamp at the top right
of the screen.
The direction of each message is indicated by an arrow. For
example, in the illustration on the previous page a Connect
message has been sent from the NT to the TE.
For a Basic Rate link, the display shows Layer 1 Info states for
the Basic Rate S interface, Layer 2 frame messages (SABME,
UA, RR, etc), and Layer 3 messages. For a Primary Rate link,
instead of Layer 1 Info states the display shows Layer 1 alarms
as they occur.
