Configuring a communication network

  1. Add two thread icons to the Network Configurator:
    • his_1a as the data source
    • lab_1a as the destination for the data
  2. For his_1a, add a new route and set it as static. This configures the static route with a his_1a to lab_1a raw route detail.
  3. On the Properties tab, set up the his_1a thread protocol properties to use your input file. To do this, on the Properties tab click Properties next to Protocol. For this example, an input file named frl_adt_.dat is used.
  4. Configure the transaction to isolate the Trx ID from the first four bytes of the record on his_1a and lab_1a threads. Do this by clicking Edit next to Trx ID Determination Format.
  5. On the Route Messages tab, double-click the route name to open the Route dialog box. Edit the his_1a static route by highlighting the route name and replacing _HCI_static_route_ with ADMT.
  6. On the Properties tab, designate all threads as part of the group named production_ex and clear Auto-start connection.
  7. On the Inbound pane of the Properties tab, for his_1a, select Save inbound messages.
    Name the file inx_bound. This is part of the SMAT saved message file. Do not add a suffix to this file name.
  8. Highlight the lab_1a thread and on the Properties tab configure the protocol properties to write out to a file named his_1a.out.
  9. Highlight the his_1a thread and click Verify Thread or right-click the thread icon to open the context menu and click Verify. Any errors are reported on the Verifications tab.
  10. Click Apply and save the file.
  11. Save the views by selecting View > Save Views.
  12. Testing your routes can speed up the overall verification of your interfaces. To do this, open the Testing Tool and select the Routes tab.
    1. Select his_1a as the source thread.
    2. Select the data file (in this example, frl_adt_.dat).
    3. For Send to Proc, select hciroutetestshowbydest.
