Data Capture
Modem data capture involves connecting the equipment, specifying the
configuration, and entering the capture mode.

Capture Sessions, Events, and Triggers

The ADM2400 uses the terms session, event, and trigger. Sessions contain one or
more events.
An event is the information captured from a start trigger to an end trigger. The carrier
detection is used as the start trigger for modem data capture and loss of carrier is the
end trigger. A session begins when the ADM2400 is placed in capture mode and the
first event start trigger is detected.

ADM2400 USERS GUIDE

ALLIED ANALOGIC, INC.

Sessions can be saved in memory and later recalled for further analysis. The
ADM2400 allows you to Page Down and Page Up or go to a specific event number
to see additional events if more than one event is stored in the session.

Connections
There are many ways to connect the ADM2400 to capture data. Ensure the
ADM2400 and near end device are connected to the same line. Three examples are
shown below.
This diagram shows a POS
terminal connected to Line 1 of
the ADM2400 and Line 2
connected to the wall plate. The
ADM2400 will bridge Line 1 and
Line 2 when in the capture mode.

An alternate connection is to
connect the ADM2400 to a line
connection of the near end device
and the near end device to the
wall plate. This requires that the
near end device maintains the
connection between the two
connectors.
You cannot use the phone
connector on a typical PC modem
because the phone is
disconnected when the modem is
in use.

Troubleshooting Data Capture

The following information will help troubleshoot or analyze captured data.
Issue

Explanation

Data is not readable

Check Line noise levels using the Volt Meter function

Change data formats: 7E1/8N1
Change mode: Async/Sync
Change standard: Bell/ITU
Communication speed is greater than 2400bps
Data may be encrypted or compressed

There is a lot of unreadable data at

the beginning of the session.

This noise is common during the connection process. The noise generally
stops once the data carriers are established.

Some characters are missing or

are incorrect.

Normal modem data transmission is subject to transmission errors. The

ADM2400 is a passive device and cannot interact with the communication
to correct errors.

I only see one side of the

communication

Ensure that the configuration settings are correct. If you still only see one
side, it is likely to be the Answer side and the amplitude of the signal is too
low to successfully monitor.

There is unreadable data at the

end of the event data.

There are usually some noise characters generated as the modems

disconnect.

Signal Trace
Signal trace allows you to capture ac or dc activity on the line and evaluate the timing
of the activity.

Connections
Signal trace requires a parallel tap on the line. This can be accomplished by using a
multiple line adapter or using a second connector on the near end device. A 2-Line
adapter (T-adapter) is included with the ADM2400 for this purpose.

12

ADM2400 USERS GUIDE

ALLIED ANALOGIC, INC

The adapter may be connected to the near end device, the ADM2400 in Line 1 or
Line 2, or to the wall plate. This connection allows the normal operation of the
equipment and monitoring the signal events.

the signal capture session screen.

Metering
The volt meter functions allow you to analyze the line and determine basic
information about the status and quality of the line used for communications. The
high impedance of the meter allows measurements without interfering with normal
line operation. This means you can take measurements while the line is in use.

DC
The DC voltmeter shows the value of the dc voltage on the line. Idle line voltage from
the central office is normally about -48Vdc. The actual voltage can vary considerably.
Private telephone systems and telephone line simulators often have much lower

20

ADM2400 USERS GUIDE

ALLIED ANALOGIC, INC

voltages. Some equipment may not work properly with low line voltages or may
indicate that the line is busy or not present.
The telephone cords used to connect phone equipment to the line are often reversed
from one end to the other resulting in a positive line voltage indication. This is called a
color reverse. Positive phone line voltages indicate that at least one color reverse has
occurred between the ADM2400 and the central office. Most equipment will function
normally on color reversed lines.

AC
AC voltages indicate some kind of varying signal. This may be dial tone, ringing
signals, modems communicating, voice conversations, and noise. One common use
of the volt meter is to measure noise that may interfere with communications. The ac
values are given in volts peak to peak (Vpp) or dBm.
V pp
Voltage measured peak to peak refers to the maximum and minimum voltages of the
signal. This measurement is common to most persons familiar with ac electronics. It
can be converted to RMS, commonly measured by a multimeter, by multiplying the
result by .3535. Example: a 2V pp measurement would equal .707VRMS.
dBm
The dBm measurement is a common method of expressing power ratios. Zero dBm
is equal to 1 miliwatt of power. The ADM2400 assumes an impedance of 600 ohms
when expressing dBm values using voltage measurements.
A change of +3 dBm change in value equals a doubling of power. A change of -3
dBm represents a decrease in power by one-half. The dBm scale is from -30 dBm to
+3 dBm. Noise measurements should be as close to -30dBm as possible. Large
noise readings indicate potential problems on the line inside the facility or with the
telephone company network.
