currently available.  
Using the approximately 150 implemented WAN communication protocols  
– including a number of national and manufacturer-specific variants – you  
can decode and analyze almost all signalling data online as well as offline.  
The required protocols can be combined according to your needs using the  
graphical protocol stack editor. You can trigger and filter the data stream in  
order to keep data simple for analysis. A series of measuring applications  
is available for analyses.  
The Protocol Tester is designed with the following in mind:  
H Modular form. The modular design using the VME bus enables  
optimum adaption to different tasks. The modular concept of the  
Protocol Tester with four slots for the interface modules makes it  
extendable for almost any future applications.  
H Easy to operate. The Windows XP provides a familiar and easy-to-op-  
erate interface.  
H Easy to transport. The Protocol Tester is light weight and compact so  
it’s easy to transport. A transport case is available to protect the

Installing Modules  
CAUTION. Make sure the VME bus address on the new module is set  
correctly (see page 30).  
If you install modules, proceed as follows:  
1. Switch the device off and unplug the mains plug.  
2. Remove the cover if necessary and put the module on the guide rails of  
the relevant slot.  
3. Push the module completely into the slot.  
4. Tighten the module with the two cross-head screws.  
NOTE. If you have to install a new E1/DS1 board and/or an AP-4 board,  
the Protocol Tester reprograms the boot Flash-PROM of this new board.  
Reprogramming is done automatically during the start-up sequence of the  
application and takes much more time than the normal start-up sequence.  
Therefore just be patient. You must not switch off or shut down the  
Protocol Tester during this time.  
The reprogramming is finished as soon as the LEDs of the new boards are  
off and the Protocol Tester shows the Data Flow Window. Although the  
tester is then ready to work, you have to close all K1297-G20 Monitor  
applications and start them (only the applications, not Windows XPe)  
again.

Software Installation  
Important Hints  
The Protocol Tester is ready for use upon delivery. Windows XPe and the  
K1297-G20 Monitor application have already been installed.  
Base software, application programs, updates, and upgrades are supplied  
on CD-ROM, with a setup program and a readme.txt file located directly  
under the root directory of the CD-ROM. You should read the readme file  
before installing the software.  
Device-specific software keys protect the CD-ROM software against  
unauthorized access. To enable the software on your Protocol Tester, you  
also receive an additional Software Keyfile / License Information Disk (key  
disk).  
Mixing Different Software Versions. Software products from different CD  
versions are NOT designed to be mixed. The Setup program has a security  
mechanism that will ensure that such version mixes cannot be installed:  
After having selected your software products from this CD, you will be  
warned about older software products in your existing configuration that  
will be removed.  
H If you confirm with Yes, the Setup program removes the old products  
automatically and proceeds with the installation of the new products.  
H If you want to keep an old product, cancel the Setup program, backup  
the software as described below, and then restart the Setup program  
again.  
If you want to install software products from different CD versions, first  
perform a complete backup of the existing software. This will ensure you  
the best control about the software configuration on your system and  
possible dependencies with other software packages you might have  
installed.

Types of Installation. You have two options to install Protocol Tester  
software:  
H Installation of additional software packages: Install further software  
packages in addition to the already installed software version such as  
protocols, emulations, application programs.  
H Installation of a new software version: Install a complete new version  
of the base software and additional software packages.  
NOTE. The K1297 Protocol Tester has been pre-configured with Microsoft  
Windows XPe and therefore provides you with all possibilities offered by  
this industry standard. This enables you to choose from a variety of  
available software products for the analysis and evaluation of your  
measurement results. Such programs can be installed and used directly on  
your Protocol Tester.  
Within this context, please observe the following: The installation of  
additional software reduces the disk space required for saving measure-  
ment results. During the course of a measurement, only Protocol Tester  
applications should be run in order to ensure the exclusive availability of  
the disposable CPU performance for the measurement task.  
User Data. It is important to always save user data to an appropriate back up  
system before performing any installation. Detailed instructions for the  
back up are given in the appropriate section.  
User data are files and directories:  
H not provided by Tektronix  
H stored under the installation path of the Protocol Tester  
NOTE. If you modify files and directories provided by Tektronix, it is  
necessary to save them under a different name. Otherwise a subsequent  
installation might fail or become incomplete, or your data might be  
overwritten.

Installation of a New Software Version  
Software products from different product CDs are NOT designed to be  
mixed. The Setup program has a security mechanism that will ensure that  
such version mixes cannot be installed.  
If you install a new software version on top of an existing software  
version, the existing version will be automatically removed.  
If you want to install software products from different CD versions in  
parallel on one Protocol Tester, first perform a complete backup of the  
existing software.

Back Up the Software. If you want to back up your existing K1297-G20  
Monitor installation, proceed as follows:  
1. Close all applications.  
2. Use the Windows Task Manager to end the process dio.exe.  
3. Rename the original K1297 directory C:\K1297(for example,  
C:\K1297.vxxx), or move the directory to a different partition.  
4. Rename the file C:\WINDOWS\UNINSTALL.K12xx.INI(for  
example, C:\WINDOWS\UNINSTALL.K12xx.INI.vxx) before  
you install the new K1297-G20 Monitor software.  
CAUTION. If you do not rename this file before installing the new software,  
the software will not start.  
CAUTION. If you create multiple installation sets on your hard disk by such  
back up operations, keys for different software versions will remain in your  
keyfile C:\WINDOWS\keyfile.txt. The KeyManager program will  
not be able to identify each back up. A subsequent call of this tool might  
announce keys of back up installations erroneously as ”obsolete”. Do not  
delete “obsolete” keys, as a restored installation will not run without its  
keys. To overcome such possible problems rename the keyfile accordingly  
(for example C:\WINDOWS\keyfile.txt.vxxx).

Calltrace  
The Calltrace application can detect and trace one or several calls on the  
basis of complete or partial phone numbers. Calltrace analyzes protocol-  
specific data and produces a text output for any found hit. The Calltrace  
can be run in the following three modi:  
Calltrace only Mode.In this mode the calltrace searches for a frame that  
matches the user selected parameters. The analysis and the result can be  
seen at once.  
Sequenced Calltrace Mode. In this mode all messages of one call will be  
collected (stored) until the CT can make a decision whether the current  
call matches the parameters or not. This representation is more focussed,  
because it is related to one call.  
Sequence only Mode. This mode works just like the sequenced Calltrace  
mode, apart from the fact, that no numbers can be entered. All messages  
are simply sequenced, i.e. sorted by calls and then displayed if the call has  
been released. A search criteria is not possible here.  
Calltrace applications are offered for a variety of protocols. All applica-  
tions are operating according to the same principles. In this section, the  
ISUP Calltrace is given as an example.

Preparing and Starting a Calltrace  
1. Click the processing element Application in the pipeline, which  
you will find either in the monitor branch or in the recording branch.  
The following dialog box appears:  
2. Select CallTr/Seqfrom the list of available applications and  
confirm your selection with OK.  
Calltrace analyzes the data traffic of a variety of protocols. Therefore,  
you have to select the protocol to be tested before starting Calltrace.  
The Calltr/Seq_1window appears.

3. Select the protocol from the protocol list on the basis of which the  
calltrace is to be performed.  
4. Confirm your selection with Load. The CallTr/Seq_1: ISUP  
ITU-T White bookwindow then appears (example). Depending on  
the Calltrace selected this window can slightly vary.

Examples  
5. Enter the phone number you are looking for under Search for. You  
can enter up to four numbers divided by commas (,). The following  
wildcards for digits are allowed: +for exactly one digit or no digit, *  
for any number of digits, ? for exactly one digit.  
You can enter more than one asterisk (*) within a calling number (for  
example *123*678). One asterisk is always automatically entered at  
the end of the number. Thus, numbers that are too long can be found. If  
calling numbers are initiated by + or * the filter mode starts working  
only after the number is confirmed by an ACM (Address complete) or  
an ANM (Answer message). That means that all messages are  
transmitted until then, because they belong to a call with a correspond-  
ing number.  
If you are looking for numbers with prefixes (for example international  
area code) at one and the same time, you will get more specific outputs  
by entering the exact numbers (for example 4930386,30386) than  
by entering numbers initiated by “+” or “*” (++30386,*30386).  
6. Specify whether the phone number designates a Calling Partyor  
a Called Party in the Type of number field.  
7. Specify whether it is a National, an Internationalor a  
Subscriber number without a national/international area code in  
the Nature of Addressfield. Select don’t care to include  
all numbers.  
8. For protocols you can specify Cause Valuesas additional search  
criteria. The Calltrace application then searches for calls that contain  
the desired number and one of the selected cause values (reason for the  
end of call).  
9. Specify the number of calls to be traced in the Trace mode field:  
one (Single) or any number of matching phone numbers (Multi-  
ple).  
If you activate the filter mode, only the calltrace messages will be  
displayed. Other messages will be suppressed. The asterisk (*) at the  
beginning leads to more detailed infomation.

Up to six peripheral devices can be connected to the controller of the  
system processor via the SCSI socket. Each peripheral device must be  
assigned an individual address (SCSI ID). The controller occupies address  
7 as standard. Since the controller boots from the device with the lowest  
address, the internal hard disk of the Protocol Tester is set to address 1.  
When not connected with a peripheral device the SCSI socket is  
terminated automatically.  
The interface is single ended.  
NOTE. Assign one of the free addresses 2 - 6 to the devices that you want to  
operate via the external SCSI connection. Do not assign address 1, if you  
want to boot from an external device. Set the SCSI address to 0.  
Switch on the Protocol Tester first and before switching on the SCSI

Connecting Wide SCSI-3 Devices (68 Pins)  
It is possible to connect a wide SCSI-3 device (68 pins) to the K1297  
Protocol Tester using the delivered SCSI adapter.  
The SCSI interface of your Protocol Tester is wired like a SCSI-1  
interface. To connect a wide SCSI-3 device (68 pins) you need this  
specially qualified 50-to-68 pins SCSI adapter.  
CAUTION. Some commercially-made adapters may cause a short circuit  
between TERMPWR and GROUND if they connect pins 12, 13 and 37 of  
the 50 pins SCSI interface to pins 17, 18 and 51 of the wide 68 pins SCSI  
interface. Such an internal wiring will cause the failure of the SCSI  
connection.  
Use only the SCSI adapter delivered with your Protocol Tester.  
The following table shows the crucial pin connections of the qualified  
Tektronix 50-to-68 pin SCSI adapter:

AP-4 and AP-4/256 Board  
The Additional Processor Board (AP-4) is a single slot card that increases  
the K1297-G20 Monitor’s processing power by a factor of 5 to 10  
depending on the application.  
When using 3 or more measurement cards it is recommended to include  
the AP-4 card; it is necessary when using 5 or 6 boards in the K1297  
benchtop device.  
AP-4 and AP-4/256 boards provide the following features:  
H 64 or 256 MB Memory Capacity  
H 1 MB Memory L2 Cache  
H 140 MHz Memory Cache Bus Clock Frequency  
H 350 MHz Processor Clock Frequency  
H Serial interface via RJ45 front panel connector  
H Ethernet interface (10-BaseT/100-BaseTx) via RJ45 front panel  
connector  
H Two PCI Mezzanine card slots  
NOTE. AP-4/256 boards require software version K1205 V2.30 or above.

K1297. For the K1297 the usage of an AP-4 or AP-4/256 board depends on  
the number of interface boards.  
K1297 Compact. For the K1297 Compact the AP-4 or AP-4/256 board is  
optional.  
For configurations with 1 or 2 interface boards an AP-4 or AP-4/256 board  
will only be needed for heavy demanding applications. Using an AP-4 or  
AP-4/256 board speeds up decoding approximately by factor 10. The disk  
throughput performance raises by at least factor 2.  
For configurations using 3 and 4 interface boards we recomment using an  
appropriate processor also for lighter loads.  
For configurations with 5 and 6 interfaces the AP-4 or AP-4/256 board is  
mandatory.  
NOTE. Keep in mind that using an additional application processor in the  
K1297/K1297 Compact housing needs an additional VME bus slot.  
CAUTION. Before installing a new board ensure that the VME bus address

Appendix A: Interfaces  
Working With Two AP-4 / AP-4/256 Boards. Upon delivery, AP-4 boards are set  
to ”0”. If you work with a second AP-4 board, make sure its VME bus  
address (CPU number) is set correctly.  
The VME bus addresses throughout the system must be unique. The AP-4  
and Ethernet boards require an odd address number. In addition, the next  
even address number must NOT be used in the system:  
H A system with a second AP-4 board with VME address ”7” (and ”8”  
implicitly) works fine if there are no other board conflicts with ”7” and  
”8”.  
H
A system with a second AP-4 board with VME address ”3” (and ”4”  
implicitly) plus an E1/DS1 Emulation board with VME address ”1”  
works fine if there are no other board conflicts with ”3”, ”4”, and ”1”.  
CAUTION. The PC board is set to address ”9” upon delivery (and ”10”  
implicitly), and the first AP board is set to address 0. Never change the  
addresses of the PC board and the first AP-4 board.  
See the description on how to define CPU numbers of the Ethernet board  
on page A-56 and proceed accordingly if you want to work with a second  
AP-4 board.  
The Status Window displays the VME addresses that are in use (however,  
the implicitly used numbers for boards such as AP-4 and ETH-100 are not  
displayed).  
CAUTION. Only a qualified service technician should perform this  
procedure at an ESD approved workplace. To avoid injury and to prevent  
damage to the board or any products connected, review all safety  
precautions in the User Manual when adapting CPU numbers.

BAI Board  
The BAI board (Basic Access Interface) is required for measurements on  
ISDN lines and connections. The BAI board can be fitted with up to two  
interface modules depending on the purpose of application. The interface  
modules establish the necessary different circuits dependent on the  
interface standard.  
NOTE. EN 60950, IEC 950, UL 1950: The interface boards are designed  
for connecting to a telecommunication network (TNV-1 circuits); the  
appropriate interfaces are provided.  
The supply voltage necessary for supplying power to the terminal  
equipment to be tested is supplied by a separate supply module, which is  
plugged on the interface board and connected to the base module.  
WARNING. High voltages may occur on the following supply connectors  
and sockets: under “S Simulation / Monitoring” with “TE A” or “TE M”,  
0
“MON A B” or “MON M N”, “TE/NT B” or “TE/NT N”;  
under “U  
Simulation / active Monitoring” with “LT A” or “LT M”  
2B1Q  
and “NT/LT B” or “NT/LT N”.  
With older front panels the following supply connectors and sockets are  
concerned: “to NT”, “S-BUS MON”, “to TE(NT)”, “to LT”, “to NT(LT)”.  
These older terms are marked in the following with old.

Appendix A: Interfaces  
Defining CPU Numbers  
The following section describes how to define CPU numbers (VME bus  
addresses) if you work with a second Ethernet board consisting of a  
Power-PC board plus hooked up mezzanines. Only an experienced service  
technician should perform this setting procedure.  
CAUTION. The following steps must be performed at an ESD approved  
workplace. Electrostatic discharge can permanently destroy components  
that have to be temporarily removed from your device.  
In order to operate several Ethernet boards within one device, the default  
CPU numbers of the second (third, fourth) board have to be changed.  
1. Check that the address is set correctly for each board. Typical addresses  
are as follows:  
Table A–32: Ethernet boards: address settings  
Board  
Address  
1st Ethernet board  
2nd Ethernet board  
3rd Ethernet board  
07 (with 08 implicitly); no changing necessary  
05 (with 06 implicitly)  
03 (with 04 implicitly)  
NOTE. Only select odd numbers when changing the address for an  
additional Ethernet board, and follow the recommended settings as listed  
in the table above.  
The CPU numbers being stored within NVRAM of the Ethernet board are  
an integral part of the CPU’s bootline. You can modify this bootline as  
described in the following.  
K1297-G20 Monitor User Manual  
A-56  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Appendix A: Interfaces  
2. To check the used CPU numbers, open the K1297-G20 Monitor Status  
Window via the appropriate button in the toolbar.  
Write down the CPU numbers displayed in square brackets in order to  
identify which numbers are free for addressing.  
Not all displayed and existing CPU numbers are free for defining new  
CPU numbers. Additional restrictions are listed in the Caution  
statement below.  
CPU #7 is the currently installed Ethernet board.  
3. Now you can change the default CPU number for example to #3 by  
entering the following command via Start: Run:  
ntterm 7  
This command will open a window that gives you basic access to the  
VxWorks operating system. Enter the command bootChangeand  
press the return key until you see:  
processor number : 7  
Enter 3on the same line and press the return key until the prompt (–>)  
reappears.  
–>  
CAUTION. Due to hardware restrictions it is not possible to use odd  
numbers on a ETH-100 board if the number + 1 is used in the system. In  
other words, do not use #7 if there is a #8 CPU in the system.  
The same applies to the PC-Board CPU, which is CPU #9; #10 cannot be  
used for any board!  
Example:  
If there is no board with #3 or #4, you can use #3 or #4 for ETH-100.  
Now you have changed the default CPU number. Therefore #7 and #8  
are no longer in use and you may insert your new ETH-100 board,  
which will now become the new CPU #7.

System Restore  
System Restore is a component of Windows XPe that you can use to  
restore your operating system to a previous state, if a problem occurs,  
without losing your personal user data.  
NOTE. System Restore is installed and activated at the factory. It needs at  
least 200 MB of disk space available to work properly.  
System Restore monitors changes to the system and automatically creates

Repair Measures  
The following pages describe how to repair or reinstall a damaged  
Windows XPe installation on the K1297.  
NOTE. For general troubleshooting tips read the Windows online help. To  
open the online help, click Start: Help and Support on the taskbar.  
Under rare circumstances, the K1297 may not start (boot). These  
circumstances include:  
1. Installation of faulty third-party drivers  
2. Erroneous changes in the Registry  
3. Deleting or replacing system files by mistake  
In these circumstances the Windows XPe boot process might crash with  
error messages, dark or blue screen.  
Another problem occurs when the passwords of all accounts have been  
changed and have been forgotten. In this case the device starts, but does  
not log on automatically and no one can log on manually.  
In all these instances, switch off your device and try to restart it. If  
Windows does not start again, carry out the Windows XPe installation  
repair process.  
To carry out the repair process restart the K1297 by the delivered K12  
Recovery-CD as described on the following pages.

Recovery Disk  
New devices always contain a K12 Recovery CD.  
Using this CD you can reproduce the user accounts and the driver  
configuration that existed when the device was produced. The reproduc-  
tion of the user accounts is necessary if the passwords have been lost (after  
being changed).  
This CD can be used to restart the device in case of a major hardware or  
software failure. It contains the state of the device at the time of produc-  
tion without K1297-G20 software.  
NOTE. Store this backup software in a safe location where you can easily  
retrieve the software for maintenance purposes.
