Introduction
The Chameleon 32 User's Guide is intended as a comprehensive
overview of the Chameleon 32 for engineers and network
managers who use the unit to design, test, install, maintain, and
repair telecommunications and computer equipment. It also
p~vides a comprehensive overview for both the new and
experienced user who may need to review the basic concepts and
operations of the Chameleon 32.
The Chameleon 32 is a powerful multi-protocol and ISDN test
system. With the standard configuration, each phYSical port
provides independent monitoring or simulation with a BOP
acquisition rate of up to 64 kbps with dense traffic (one flag between
frames). A 256k-acquisition option is available, which enables the
Chameleon to monitor traffic up to 256 kbps on one port.
The Chameleon Protocol Interpretation Manual, Volume II,
contains all protocol-specific information', including details on the
ISDN ANSI Primary Rate, ISDN CEPT Primary Rate, ISDN Basic
Rate and 2B10 Interfaces.

Monitoring
The Chameleon 32 Monitoring applications interpret and display
data communication traffic. The Chameleon 32 provides up to one
megabyte of acquisition with a display in easy-to-read mnemonic
text. Using the Chameleon 32's Monitoring applications, you can:

Simulation
The Chameleon 32 Simulation packages save you valuable
development time. Simulation allows you to emulate either side of
the line in a 2B1 0, X.25, SNA, Async, BSC, ISDN 0.921/0.931, or
SS#7 environment. Simulation traffic (except SS#7 and Async) can
be simultaneously analyzed using any of the monitoring
applications described above.
Using the Chameleon protocoi-specific programming languages,
.
you can:
•

Create a controlled, live environment to test both hardware
and software

•

Test both common and less common error conditions

•

Simulate network or individual devices such as:
•
•
•
•
•

Mainframes or Front End Processors
Modems
Terminals or Terminal Controllers
ISDN Network Terminator (NT) or Terminal Equipment
(TE) Devices
Other intelligent communications devices

You can also use Simulation languages for the following
applications:

Teke/ec

•

To write certification packages to test equipment or software
functionality, by writing protocoi-specific scenarios.

•

After identifying a specific problem usrng Chameleon 32
Analysis (for example, SABM collision), to develop simulation
programs to duplicate the problem.

•

If .having problems running certification packages (for
example, DON tests), to copy just the portion of the test
package you need, modify it, and run it.

Chameleon 32 User's Guide

Chameleon 32 BASIC Simulation Language
The Chameleon BASIC language is an interpreted test language
based on standard BASIC. Since BASIC is a widely-used
language, many Chameleon users are already familiar with its
general format and usage, and can adapt quickly to Chameleon
BASIC language.
Chameleon BASIC is structured so that you can develop programs
quickly. It also has the added benefit of providing an interactive
interface to the user. You can enter many commands directly at the
BASIC prompt.
The ability to write your programs and run them without compiling
means that you can reduce the amount of time required to debug
programs.
BASIC provides a user-friendly interface for configuring various
parameters through the use of set-up menus. It is possible to use
Chameleon BASIC to determine your fundamental test design, and
then develop the complete test system using C.

C Development System
The optional C Development System allows you to write C
applications programs tailored to your individual testing needs.
With the Chameleon 32 C Development System, you have:
•

Automatic support of layers 1 and 2, with Simulation and
Analysis libraries for upper layer programming

•

UNIX-like libraries for input and output

•

Full-feature C compiler, per standard Kernighan & Ritchie,
producing 68010 object code

•

vi Editor, linker, and loader via the C Menu Shell

•

Libraries for screen displays for user-created windows

The Chameleon 32 C Development System includes the following
special libraries with protocol-specific functions:
•
•
•
•
•
•

CHAPTER ONE:
EXPRESS INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
This section gives you brief step-by-step instructions for
powering up the Chameleon 32, and configuring one or both
ports (where applicable) for monitoring or simulation.
It
assumes that this is the first time the Chameleon 32 has been
used. If your screens differ from those described in this
section, it indicates that your Chameleon 32 has been
previously configured.
If you want more information on any of the topics covered in
this section, refer to Chapter Three: Using the Chameleon 32.
If you are using a Dual Port Chameleon 32, perform the steps
in this section, and then refer to the section in Chapter Three
entitled Dual Port on the Chameleon 32 for additional
information on configuring and using a Dual Port machine.

If you want to configure the Chameleon 32 to use the C
Development System, refer to the Chameleon 32 C Manual,
Volume IV.

Power Up

To power up the Chameleon 32, do the following:
1.

Place the Chameleon 32 on a secure surface with the
Tekelec logo facing you, and easy access to the ports in
the rear.
To angle the front of the Chameleon upward for easy
viewing, rotate the two feet on the bottom front of the unit
forward until they lock into place.
Be sure that the feet are securely locked into place
before you rest the Chameleon on the feet.

TEKELEC

2.

Verify that the Chameleon 32 is set to the correct AC
voltage setting for your country. This has been preset at
the factory, but should be checked before th"e
Chameleon 32 is powered on. The AC Voltage Selection
is on the rear of the Chameleon 32, as indicated in
Figure 1.1 on the following page.

3.

Remove the power cord from the storage compartment
in the back of your Chameleon 32.
