11.1.  SCX160 InfoTool

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.

The 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.

SCxbus real-time clock state for this node. Refer to Table 9.  SCxbus Clock States for a description of all states.

Value:

  Master

  Wait Master

  Wait Slave

  Fallback Master

  Slave

  Wait Fallback Master

  Wait Fallback Slave

 

SCbus Clock Mode

SCbus clocking configured at download time for this node. Refer to Section 4.2.  Designating Clock Modes for a description of all modes.

Value:

  Master Clock

  Fallback Master Clock

  Slave

 

SCxbus Clock Mode

SCxbus clocking configured at download time for this node. Refer to Section 4.2.  Designating Clock Modes for a description of all modes.

Value:

  Master Clock

Field/Value

Description

SCxbus Right Clock

Indicates whether Right SCxbus clock is present in this node.

NOTE:
The Right and/or Left SCxbus clock must be present at each node for proper operation of the multi-node system.

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:

  ensure that only one node in the system is configured as the SCxbus Master clock node.

  ensure that the SCxbus cabling is properly installed. Refer to Figure 5.  SCxbus Cabling, Typical

 

SCxbus Left Clock

Indicates whether a Left SCxbus clock is present in this node.

NOTE:
The Right and/or Left SCxbus clock must be present at each node for proper operation of the multi-node system.

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:

  ensure that only one node in the system is configured as the SCxbus Fallback Master clock node.

  ensure that the SCxbus cabling is properly installed. Refer to Figure 5.  SCxbus Cabling, Typical.

 

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:

  ensure that the designated SCbus clock source is a valid source.

  ensure that the SCxbus cabling is properly installed. Refer to Figure 5.  SCxbus Cabling, Typical

 

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.
