Once a node has been initialized, the SCX160 InfoTool can be used to check how the node is configured and its current status. The SCX160 InfoTool will display the following information at the node whenever the InfoTool is run:
To start the SCX160 InfoTool, click on the SCX160 InfoTool icon in the Dialogic Development Package Folder/Program Group. The SCX160 InfoTool window shown in Figure 22. System Tab is displayed.
11.1.1. Viewing System InformationThe System tab displays the hardware interrupt and device name for the SCX160 SCxbus Adapter installed in this node (see Figure 22. System Tab). The fields in this tab are described in Table 16. System Tab Fields.

Field/Value |
Description | |
SCxbus Right Clock |
Indicates whether Right SCxbus clock is present in this node.
Refer to Chapter 4. Clocking for more information. | |
Value: Present - Typically, Right SCxbus clock is Present in all nodes in the system. Not Present - If Right SCxbus clock is Not Present:
|
||
SCxbus Left Clock |
Indicates whether a Left SCxbus clock is present in this node.
Refer to Chapter 4. Clocking for more information. | |
Value: Present - Typically, Left SCxbus clock is Present in all nodes in the system if one of the nodes is designated as the Fallback master Clock node. Not Present - if Left SCxbus clock is Not Present and one of the nodes is designated as a Fallback Master Clock node:
|
||
SCbus Clock |
Indicates the presence of SCbus clock. Refer to Chapter 4. Clocking for more information. | |
Value: Present - SCbus clock must be Present in each node for proper operation of the SCbus. Not Present - if the SCbus clock is Not Present:
|
||
PLL Reference |
Indicates the presence of a valid PLL (Phase Locked Loop) Reference clock reference source. Refer to Chapter 4. Clocking for more information. | |
Value: Present - Indicates the presence of a valid clock reference source for the PLL Clock. Not Present - Indicates loss of clock synchronization and/or frame synchronization with respect to the reference clock source. |
||
SCX160 Internal Clock |
Indicates presence of the Local Crystal Oscillator clock in this node. Refer to Chapter 4. Clocking for more information. | |
Value: Present - Indicates that the Local Crystal Oscillator is generating a clock signal. Not Present - Indicates that the Local Crystal Oscillator is no longer generating a clock signal. |
||
External Clock |
Indicates presence of external clock. Refer to Chapter 4. Clocking for more information. | |
Value: Present - Indicates external 8KHz clock reference is available at this node. Not Present - Typically, this clock is not used as a reference. |
||
SCbus Clock Fail Signal |
Indicates if the SCbus clock has failed. | |
Value: FALSE - A valid SCbus clock reference is present on the board designated as the SCbus master clock source. TRUE - The SCbus clock master board no longer has a valid clock reference. |
||
11.1.4. Viewing Data Stream InformationThe Stream tab displays information about the SCbus and SCxbus data stream mapping that is configured at download time (see Figure 25. Data Stream Tab). The fields in this tab are described in Table 19. Data Stream Tab.
