T1 E1 Analysis

Windows Client/Server for T1 E1 or T3 E3 Analysis

Client/Server Technology

Overview

GL's Windows Client/Server software allows the user of T1 E1 or T3 E3 analysis/emulation application, the capability of remote operation, automation, and multi-site connectivity. T1 E1 or T3 E3 hardware in a server is easily controlled through software clients at remote or local sites via TCP/IP sockets. Connectivity can be via Dial-Up, LAN, WAN, or more typically the Internet. Server software can run multiple tasks simultaneously at the request of the client software.

Windows Client Server (WCS) (XX600) is available as a part of the T1 E1 analyzer basic application. However, with additional licenses, various modules can be obtained to suit a wide range of testing requirements. The WCS software supports Python scripting on both Windows® and Linux® operating systems.

Client application is distributed freely with GL's WCS application and can be used as a template for more complex tasks. Example, clients are available in C++, C#, Windows/Linux Python (version 3.6 or above), and Windows Tool Command Language (TCL). WCS clients are available via console/terminal Command Line Interface (CLI) and accessible remotely through SSH or from Python scripts running in Windows® or Linux® operating system.

Windows/Linux Client (WLC) is a Command Line Interface (CLI) application that issues commands to T1 E1 and T3 E3 WCS servers and display replies into Console/PowerShell/Terminal Windows. WLC works in Windows and Linux versions. However, through SSH or another remote access terminal it can be used on any operating system. WLC is a portable Windows/Linux WCS client communication library compatible with WCS server.

WLC has two groups of commands:

  • WLC commands: Display WLC command help, connect to WCS Server, disconnect from WCS Server, pass commands to WCS servers and display replies, save, and execute scripts etc.
  • WCS commands: Controls T1 E1 or T3 E3 cards and display responses from the WCS server commands and tasks

A list of WCS Modules is given below.

Typical applications include:



GL Server Functions

The Server performs 'actions' and 'tasks'. An 'action' is in response to a 'command' initiated by a Client. The Server performs the action immediately and notifies the Client of the result. An example of such commands - actions are board configurations. A 'task' is more complicated, and usually involves real time generation and processing of data, i.e. perform BERT for 10 minutes on a T1, as shown here. Multiple tasks can be initiated without completion of previous tasks. The Server informs the Client on tasks: started, status, complete, etc. Typical tasks are real time transmission and recording of files, bit error rate (BER) testing, alarm monitoring, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) operations, ds0 power monitoring, dtmf/mf/mfcr2 digit detection and generation, protocol decoding and simulation, error insertion, and so on. For a complete list refer to the User's Manual.

Supported Platforms:

GL's popular forms of T1 E1 analysis hardware such as

A T1 E1 Server can be configured with as many as four cards in a single PC. Processing constraints should be taken into account.

C++ Client

A Client communicates with the Server via TCP/IP encapsulated commands/tasks/responses. GL provides sample-working clients written in C++, Windows TCL. The user may expand on these, as the user desires. Both commands and tasks are high-level functions, e.g. perform a BERT, perform HDLC decoding on TS0 and provide packets. A client can initiate multiple tasks simultaneously or sequentially (queue up tasks in succession). All exchanges between the Client and Server are displayed and can be logged to a file for later viewing. Batches of commands/tasks can be saved or loaded for efficiency. 'Cut' and 'paste' features are also provided. The frame shown here shows that hundreds of tasks can be queued up for processing and many can be executing simultaneously.

Windows/Linux Python Client Module

Windows Client Server (WCS) commands can be issued in Python scripts running in Windows or Linux. The Windows Client Python Module (WCPM) wcli_t1_e1.pyd provides a client interface to the T1 E1 WCS servers. It allows a Windows/Linux Python program to connect to one or more GL’s T1 E1 WCS servers (GWS) and execute server commands, asynchronous tasks and receive replies from GWSs. WCPM enables connection to multiple GWSs allowing the python program to control T1 E1 equipment at multiple computers and geographical locations via TCP/IP.

All the complexity of TCP/IP communications is completely hidden from users and is reduced to invoking functions with string parameters and functions returning string responses.

WCPM complies with python naming convention standards and development practices. When WCPM functions are invoked incorrectly a proper exception is thrown making it easy to diagnose and correct the problem.

The Linux Client Python Module wcli_t1_e1.so can be used on any Linux operating system .

The Real-World applications include:

  • Support for framed and unframed transmission/reception of signals
  • Intrusive/Non-Intrusive T1 E1 Testing
  • Performance monitoring and testing of multiple site locations from a single client
  • Shared use of T1 E1 test equipment from multiple client locations
  • Automated factory testing on production lines
  • Integration of T1 E1 testing into more complex testing systems
Python Client Module

VB Client (legacy)

GL's VB Client is a Windows based GUI Client application that communicates with the GL's Server Software to execute and display basic functions on T1 and E1 lines. The VB Client application can be invoked as a stand-alone Client or in the case when it is co-resident with GL's T1 E1 analyzer cards, from the special application drop down menu --> WCS VB client. GL can provide free assistance in developing additional capability in the VB Client or GL Server.



C# Client for .NET (Complete source code available for free download)

C-Sharp (C#) Client is a Windows based GUI Client developed in C# language, that works with GL's Server Software to execute and display basic functions on T1 and E1 lines. Using this client, you can connect to a GLServer running on local or remote machine. You can send basic commands to the server as well as see the reply sent back by the server. Example screen shots are provided below. The source code is provided free of charge, and provides a reliable framework for rapidly developing applications with GL's Server using the .Net platform. GL can provide free assistance in developing additional capability into the C# Client or GL Server.

Instructions for building & running the C# client source code:

You must have Microsoft's Visual C# .Net version 7.1 (Microsoft's .Net framework version 1.1.4322) or above installed on your machine to build the source code. Unzip the downloaded zip file into an empty directory on your local machine. It will create a new directory called "CSharpClient". Open this directory and then double click on the file named "CSharpClient.sln" to open the C# project and then use the "Start" button on the Visual C# IDE (or use F5 key) to build and run the C# client.

Windows TCL Client

Windows Tool Command Language (TCL) Client is a client application that allows you to connect remotely to GL's T1 E1 analyzer via TCP/IP and perform various functions such as Intrusive/Non-Intrusive T1 E1 Testing, Monitoring Byte Values, Power level, Frequency, DC Offset, Transmit Tone, Digits, Signaling Bits, Error Insertion, Playback and record a data file. The TCL Client application includes a GLTclIfc.dll file, a packaged library that enables communication with the WCS Server from a TCL environment.

The advantage of such communication is to enable the user to process the response of a server query and to use it accordingly with the added benefits of a fully capable flow control engine. Windows TCL provides a simple scripting language, with programming facilities such as looping, procedures, and variables. Thus, users can now use the entire vast range of commands in the WCS Server in a much more beneficial way than the WCS Client.

Main Features of Windows TCL Client:

  • Works with GL's field proven T1 E1 internal cards or Laptop T1 E1 external units
  • All commands are simple and self-explanatory
  • Commands can be customized to implement interactive menu options to play a file, wait for a digit, play another file based on the digit, and so on
  • Values returned from the server can be easily accessed and stored as user-defined variables
  • The commands provide easy access to the latest messages using various keywords such as task-clear, and last
  • Streamlines both the source script and the output by executing only the messages that user requested
  • For and While loops in scripts make task execution simpler
  • Includes remote monitoring capability

This application can be invoked by double-clicking on TClsh84.exe file in \Program Files\GL Communications Inc\TCL Client directory to invoke a command-line client, and double-click on TclGUI.exe file in \Program Files\GL Communications Inc\TCL Client directory to invoke a windows-based TCL client application.
