Resetting The TA128, Using The Embedded Protocol Analyzer

Page 119 highlights

Resetting The TA128 If you have modified the TA128's setting and cannot get it back because the unit is locking up, or you just want to reset it back to the factory default state, the following reset procedure will help you to reset the TA128 back to the factory default state. Hold the DATA/VOICE button down while turning the unit ON, keep holding down the switch for 3 seconds after the power switch is turned ON then release the switch. TA128 will reset itself back to the factory setting and it will also run a continuous loop-back selftest. Printable characters will show on the terminal screen if it is connected to one. Finally, toggle the power to the TA128 off then back on. Using The Embedded Protocol Analyzer The embedded protocol analyzer (EPA) records and analyzes various protocols on the B-channel, D-channel and DTE-DCE interface. The EPA is designed for hobbyists as well as users with technical backgrounds. The EPA enables you to examine messages exchanged between your Omni TA128 and the Central Exchange office when making an ISDN call. You can review the packets sent or received through the B-channel (for X.75 or V.120) to or from the remote site. AT commands issued from an application software program can also be checked. This will help you understand their causal relationship with other events. In addition to its tutorial purpose, the EPA is very useful for diagnostics. If you have compatibility problems with your Central Exchange or with a TA at a remote site, the EPA will be your first aid resource. According to the EPA's analysis, you may decide to fix the problem yourself (e.g. modify the configuration and try again) or log the analyzed results as a file (a very comprehensive bug report), and then send it to ZyXEL's Tech Support department. 107
