1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 About Spirent’s Involvement in Wireline Simulation

Thank you for choosing Spirent Communications.

Spirent Communications has been in the wireline simulation business for over 20 years. Since the days of the S2, Spirent has designed many new simulators both to customers' specifications and to conform to an ever-growing range of industry standards. By introducing the DLS 100 in 1985 we believe that we sold the world's first truly wideband wireline simulator with the capability to successfully simulate attenuation, char-acteristic impedance and delay.

1.2 About this ManualThis manual contains information about the DLS 1200 library for Spirent Connect. For complete informa-tion about the Spirent Connect software menu bars, tool bars or information about creating other scripts, see the Spirent Connect Online Help.

2.1.1 Installing Spirent Connect SoftwareSpirent Connect 1.1 or higher must be installed on your computer prior to installing the DLS 1200. The Spirent Connect installation disk is included with the DLS 1200.

This chapter of the manual describes only the software options for the DLS 1200. For complete information about installing the Spirent Connect Software or for information about the menu bars and tool bar options, contact information can be found in the “About this Guide” section of the Spirent Connect User Guide

2.1.2 Installing the DLS 1200 Module Software

Insert the DLS 1200 Software Installation CD in the computer CD drive. The Installation Wizard will start automatically. Simply follow the instructions on the Wizard’s series of dialog boxes. The installation pro-gram will also install DLS InterBase version 1.0.0 and DLS Database version 1.1.0 if they have not been installed before.

2.1.3 Installing the IEEE 488 (GPIB) Card and Software

The IEEE 488 portion of the control software supplied by Spirent Communications only works with a National™ IEEE 488 interface card. If necessary, install the National™ IEEE 488 interface card in the com-puter. Please refer to the “NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS GPIB CARD AND SOFTWARE INSTALLA-TION” for information on how to install the NI card and associated software.

2.2 Starting Up the Spirent Connect SoftwareTo access the main window:

DLS 8000 series DLS_Sendstring and DLS_Getstring only

Table 2-1:Supported Products and Features



7104170669-12/04-3

1) From the Start menu, select Programs>Spirent> Spirent Connect>Spirent Connect or double-click the SpirentConnect icon on your desktop. The SpirentConnect main window appears.

Figure 2.1 Spirent Connect Software - Main Window

The left-hand side of main window displays a tree view menu listing all available directories, subdirectories, folders and files. When you highlight the lowest level item (test file) in the tree view menu, script for the selected test appears on the right-hand side of the main window (in the script window). The menu bar and toolbar are the same for all scripts. For complete information about the Spirent Connect software menu bars, tool bars or information about creating other scripts, see the Spirent Connect User Guide.

2.2.4 Accessing the DLS 1200 Command Widget(s)

There are two ways to use the extended DLS commands in Spirent Connect. The easiest way is to use the command insert widgets tool as follows:

1. Start the Spirent Connect application.2. Select the New command from the File menu to open an active text editor window.3. Prior to running any script users must enter “package require dls” in the text editor window.



7104170669-12/04-3

4. From the Tools menu, select the Command Inserts command, Dls sub command.

5. Select one of the products from the list such as the DLS 410E. A unit command tree view window appears.

6. Select a command from the tree view. A command insert window for the selected command appears.



7104170669-12/04-3

7. Fill in parameters in command insert window and click OK. The tcl code for the command appears in the active text editor window. (Start with the connect command).

8. Select other commands and fill in parameters in command insert windows. (Finish with the disconnect command).

IMPORTANT: Insert the commands one at a time from top to bottom of the command tree view (with the exception of the disconnect command). Some commands require others to be inserted as a prerequisite.

The RS232/GPIB module allows you to program DLS devices using Dls_SendString and Dls_GetString along with SCPI commands.

For those who are familiar with the Spirent Connect and DLS 1200 package, typing the DLS commands directly on the Spirent Connect edit field may be more efficient.

Finally, you have to make sure the appropriate DLS devices are connected to the right COM ports or GPIB addresses or IP addresses (DLS 5200/5204) and make sure the devices have been turned on before they run the scripts.

Description:

The maximum length of the DLS 414E is 7000 meters. If you wish to extend the length of line simulation, a reach extension port is available at the back of each unit. An additional low-frequency simulator such as the DLS 90 may be connected to this port to extend the system reach capabilities. The extended reach option may only be turned on when the DLS 414E is set to its maximum length (for each cable type) in the software or when the coarse value is set at or above a minimum level from a script. Once the Extend function is ena-bled, all distances larger than the maximum reach are controlled from the low frequency simulator. Note that at long loop lengths the DSL modems will not use the higher frequencies.
