2 Overview
2.1 About TRBOnet Watch
TRBOnet Watch is an advanced software packet sniffer designed for logging and
analyzing data streams in your MOTOTRBO radio networks. This solution also gives
you an integrated view into the health of your network. The application monitors
infrastructure resource usage and allows a user to detect topology problems and
verify that all components of the system are configured correctly.
The software provides views of system performance from every perspective. Built-in
tools and monitors greatly reduce time required for data analysis and eliminate the
necessity for on-site visits. This cutting-edge technology enables a simple setup
procedure and does not require NAI Data licenses.
Real-time monitor shows activity on each slot of your system. TRBOnet Watch is
capable of determining what kind of data is transmitted on available channels. You
can easily verify that radios send registration statuses and GPS data to the system.
This software can recognize voice calls, telemetry and option board data, as well as
text messages and system packets. The log contains detailed information about each
entry including sender and recipient identifiers, slots, talk groups and signal strength
for calls.
Topology monitor gives you an insight into MOTOTRBO networks connected to
TRBOnet Watch. It helps you pinpoint configuration problems and check if there have
been any alarms from the repeaters. This is especially useful for large multi-site
systems. It also allows you to check if new repeaters have been successfully added to
your network. The Topology screen allows you to verify that all components of the
system have unique identifiers and there are no conflicting identifiers. The Diagnostic
tab provides the full information about IP connections in the system and the uptime
for each repeater. This tab offers enhanced features such as remote channel change
or disabling repeaters.
The Reports and Analytics tabs are designed to visualize megabytes and gigabytes
of information obtained from the radio network. Advanced filters help you get a clear
understanding of system performance by system name, slot, frequency, unit ID or talk
group. This information can be used to bill customers using your radio infrastructure.
The Channel Usage and Frequency Usage reports are of interest to those who want to
ensure their systems have sufficient capacity for efficient communications. The All
Channels Busy report shows how often the radio channels have not been available for
radio users within a user defined time interval.

4.9.1.2 Configuring Data Storage

By default, the TRBOnet Watch Console stores traffic from all monitored radio
channels in the database.
In order to save storage space, you can set up filtering rules. Using the filter, select the
type of data that will be added to the database. The filtering rules allow you to define:
 Groups and subscribers whose activity needs to be monitored.
 Groups and subscribers whose activity should be added to the database.
 Whether the All Calls log should be displayed in the console.
 Whether repeater control messages should be stored in the database.
To configure monitoring and data storage in a system:
Configuration pane, then click the system name and the Data Storage
section.
2. In the right pane, select the required tab and adjust the settings as follows:
Table 8: Call filtering and data storage settings of the MOTOTRBO repeater

Enable this option to show RCM data for the given system in Live Monitor and in
charts and reports.
Creating Rules
Open the TRBOnet Watch Server window and click MOTOTRBO, the system name,
and Data Storage for this system in the Configuration pane. To add filtering rules
for group calls or private calls, click the Group Calls or Private Calls tab, respectively.
Figure 6: Filtering rules for group calls
Filtering is enabled if the Filter option is selected. By default, the selected tab shows
the default rule. The title of this rule indicates the range of group IDs (all groups) or
subscriber IDs (all subscribers) covered by this rule.
If necessary, create custom rules for smaller ranges or for individual IDs and set
options for each ID or range.
To create a new rule:
1. Click Add Range. On the Group Calls tab, click Specified Group or Group
Range to filter calls made in a particular talk group or a in group range,
respectively. On the Private Calls tab, click Specified Subscriber or
Subscriber Range to filter calls initiated by a particular subscriber or a
subscriber range.
2. In the popup dialog box, specify the group ID or the subscriber ID, or the first
and last ID in the range. Click OK.
19
Table 9: Number ranges allowed in MOTOTRBO system types
System Group range Subscriber number

range
IP Site Connect, Extended 1-16,776,415 1-16,777,215

Range Direct Mode
Capacity Plus, LCP 1-254 1-65,535
3. Enable or disable options in the rule. These options apply to a call if the calling
number matches the number or range specified in the rule:
 Show in Console: If enabled (selected), the call is displayed in the console.
 Store Data: If enabled, the data call is stored in the database.
The storage options are available only when the Show in Console option is
enabled.
4. Set the priority of the rule by using the arrow keys. The top entry in the list has
the higher priority.
At runtime, when a group call or a private call is initiated in the system, the
filtering rules for this call type are checked one after another in the order they
follow on the respective tab. If the calling ID matches a rule, this rule is applied
and the rules with lower priority are not checked. If the calling ID does not match
a rule in the list, the default rule will be applied. The default rule always takes
the last position in the list and cannot be moved.
Note: If some rules have overlapping ranges, set their priority as described in
section Ordering Rules with Overlapping Ranges (page 20).
To edit the rules, do the following:

• Click Edit to modify the rule.
• Click Remove to delete the rule.
• Clear the checkbox to disable the rule. Disabled rules are ignored at runtime.
The default rule (all groups or all subscribers) cannot be removed or disabled.
Ordering Rules with Overlapping Ranges
The order of rules on the tab is important if the rule ranges overlap. For instance, you
need to monitor group calls in the IP Site Connect system as follows:
• In the range of 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 you need to store data
• In the range of 8,000,000 to 11,000,000 you need to store voice
• For the remaining numbers, you do not monitor calls

You need to create the following rules:
Figure 7: Ordering rules with overlapping ranges
In this example, ranges 5,000,000 - 10,000,000 and 8,000,000 - 11,000,000 overlap.

Calls in the range of 8,000,000 - 10,000,000 will be handled as specified in the rule
that works first. If you stay with the above rule order, data will be stored in this range.
If you move the rule "groups 8000000-11000000" to the top position, voice will be
stored.
The color band below the rules visualizes the expected effect of the rule options.
Options appear in the color band as three horizontal colored stripes: Show in
Console, Store Voice, and Store Data. The length of each stripe stretches from group
1 (left) to the maximum possible ID in the system. In case of private calls, the horizontal
axis shows subscriber IDs from 1 (left) to the maximum possible ID. Rules break the
horizontal axis into ranges. Within each range, the color stripes are green or red,
depending on the status of the respective rule option – enabled or disabled. If you
move the mouse cursor over the colored stripe, the tip shows the range of IDs where
the option applies.
4.9.1.3 Adding Peers
Indicate all system peers that you may need to include in reports and charts. Peers
added on this tab can be selected as filter settings in the Reports and Analytics tools.
For details, refer to section 5.3.3.2, Adjusting Filter Settings (page 67).
To add system peers:
Configuration pane, then click the system name and then Peers.
2. Use any of these options:
 Click Load Peers in the right pane to automatically find all system peers,
including all connected software peers.
 Click Add to add a new peer to the list.
3. If necessary, use the Add and Remove buttons to edit the list of peers.

4.9.2 Registering MOTOTRBO Connect Plus
A Connect Plus system uses an XRT-9000/9100 gateway between TRBOnet Watch and
the radio system. The XRT gateway connects to one or more XRC controllers, each
placed in front of a group of repeaters. A group of repeaters forms a site where an
XRC controller works as a master peer.
To monitor a Connect Plus system in TRBOnet Watch, register its XRT gateway as
described in section 4.9.2.1, Adding an XRT (page 22).
To monitor particular sites in a Connect Plus system, register the required XRC
controllers as described in section 4.9.2.2, Adding a Site (page 24). Also, register all
sites and peers to get the information about your Connect Plus system in reports and
charts.
4.9.2.1 Adding an XRT
To monitor a Connect Plus system, TRBOnet Watch should connect the XRT unit of
that system under unique user credentials registered in the XRT configuration. If two
different software peers connect to an XRT under the same user account, the XRT
monitoring fails.
Warning: Do not monitor a Connect Plus system using two different software
applications (TRBOnet Watch or other) at the same time. This may cause a
malfunction of the entire radio system.
To add a user account in the XRT configuration:

1. Launch the Connect Plus XRT Configuration Tool software.
2. On the Settings menu, click XRT User Configuration. The left pane of the
application window displays the existing user accounts.
3. To add a new account, click New in the right pane and specify the user name
and password and other settings. To be able to monitor voice and data calls in
the system, select the Billing Enabled option.
4. Click Save. Your user account appears in the left pane.

23
Note: In this mode, TRBOnet Watch considers a site disconnected when all
of its repeaters are disconnected. When any repeater is connected
again, XRT does not inform TRBOnet Watch about the updated
connection status of the repeater and of the site. Because of this
limitation the Live Monitor tool may display XRC and repeater
connection statuses and diagnostics incorrectly.
 Airtime billing only from added sites: TRBOnet Watch monitors

through the XRT connection air traffic of the system sites that are
registered in the TRBOnet Watch Server configuration tool. Traffic from
other sites is ignored. In this mode, RDAC becomes available for system
sites - the Live Monitor tool displays the actual connection statuses and
diagnostics for the registered XRC and repeaters. If you choose this
mode, register the required sites as described in section 4.9.2.2, Adding
a Site (page 24).

4.12 Configuring SNMP Communication

The TRBOnet Watch Server includes the SNMP Agent module that sends notifications
and allows for polling tables with information about system topology, current alarm
status, and alarm history. For more information, refer to Appendix B: SNMP Support
(section B.2 MIB Objects, page 112).
You can optionally configure the TRBOnet Watch Server to send notifications to a
remote NMS using the SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 protocol. The SNMP Agent module
supports all security levels for SNMPv3: "no authentication and no privacy",
"authentication no privacy", and "authentication and privacy".
To configure a remote NMS for communication with the TRBOnet Watch SNMP Agent,
you need to load the MIB files to a remote NMS and configure it. The MIB files are
located at the following URL:
http://s3.trbonet.com/download/watch/snmp_tools/NeocomMIBs.zip
Note: To learn more about configuring an NMS, refer to Appendix B: SNMP

5.2.3.3 Graphics for RoIP Gateway

The topology displays the RoIP gateways as graphical images connected to TRBOnet
Watch over IP. The shape of the image indicates if a radio is connected to the gateway:
• The "radio" image means an established radio connection. The label near the
image displays the radio ID. Icons near the image describe the mode of the
connected radio (digital, analog) and the XCMP/XNL connection status.
• The "box" image means no radio connection. The color of the outline around
the image describes the IP connection status.
Point at the image with the mouse cursor to see the tooltip with details about the
hardware and the connected radio.
Figure 53: A pointed image shows the tooltip with details
The following examples explain how to read the information about RoIP gateways
from the topology view.

Watch assumes that the radio is powered and connected to
the gateway with the cable. However, the RoIP gateway and
the radio can be powered from different sources. If this is the
case, the "Radio" image and the "question" icon should be
interpreted as "RoIP gateway is powered, radio connection
status is unknown".

Presented below are the detailed descriptions of all the charts, including their goals,
required filter settings, chart settings, and supported features.
To learn more about the filter settings, refer to section 5.3.3, Using Filters (page 66).
A.1.1 Data Overview
The Data Overview charts summarize the workload of the specified channel(s) and
displays traffic in these channels sorted by type.
Table 37: Data Overview charts – filter settings
Setting Description
Channels The channels whose traffic is shown in the charts.
Work Hours The time interval(s) within the reported time that is used in the charts.
Date and The reported time and the timeframe.

Time
A.1.1.1 Messages by Type

The Messages by Type pie chart shows the percentage of each type of traffic in the
monitored channel(s) during the reported time. The traffic in all monitored channels
adds up to 100%.
Figure 85: Messages by Type chart
• The reported time is displayed on the chart’s toolbar.

• The colored sectors indicate the amount of each type of traffic.
• The legend shows the color, the type of traffic, and the percentage of this type
of traffic.

A.1.1.2 Loading Level of the Channels

The Loading Level of the Channels line chart shows the workload (%) of the selected
channel(s) during the reported time.
The number of channels affects the layout of the chart:
• For a MOTOTRBO IPSC system, two charts (Slot 1 and Slot 2) are displayed.
• If a single IP gateway or multiple systems are selected, the chart calculates and
displays the average workload for all channels.
Note: To get the individual workload of each channel in a multi-channel

configuration, use the Channels Usage chart.
Figure 86: The loading level in the time slots of a MOTOTRBO IPSC system
• The X-axis shows the reported time divided into timeframes. These time
settings are displayed on the chart’s toolbar next to the Scroll button.
• The Y-axis shows the workload (%) of the selected channel(s). The workload is
calculated in each timeframe as the total time when the channels were loaded,
divided by the total time when they were connected.
• The color of the line indicates the connection status of the channel(s). A red
line indicates that all reported channels were disconnected during the entire
timeframe. If any channel was connected even for a minimum time interval
within the timeframe, the line is blue.
Note: A channel is disconnected if the repeater is not connected to TRBOnet Watch

over IP or if the IP gateway is not connected to a radio.
To drill down into a particular timeframe, click on the blue line in that timeframe. You
cannot drill down into a timeframe where the line is red ("no connection").
87
A.1.2 System Overview
The System Overview chart helps you understand how busy your system was for a
selected period, from a few minutes to a year or even more. You can easily spot peak
times when the system was used at its full capacity, which means that the available
radio system might not be sufficient to handle all calls. The graph shows information
about the number of channels that were disconnected or busy at any moment within
the selected period, in other words, the number of channels that were not available
for voice or data traffic.
The bar charts reflect the number of channels that were disconnected or busy, thus
being unavailable for radio communication. The color saturation gives you an idea
about the relative duration of time when this number of channels were disconnected
(red) or busy (blue)- the darker the shade, the longer the period.
Figure 87 System Overview charts

Table 38: System Overview charts – filter settings
Setting Description
Channels The channels to be included in the charts. You need to indicate at least two

SNMP Support
Appendix B: SNMP Support

B.1 MIB Files
To configure communication with the TRBOnet Watch SNMP Agent, you need to
upload and install on the NMS system the following MIB files:
• common\ns_00_INET-ADDRESS-MIB.mib
• common\ns_01_CISCO-SMI.mib
• common\ns_02_CISCO-TC.mib
• common\ns_03_RMON-MIB.mib
• common\ns_04_TOKEN-RING-RMON-MIB.mib
• common\ns_05_SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB.mib
• common\ns_06_RMON2-MIB.mib
• common\ns_07_ENTITY-MIB.mib
• common\ns_08_CISCO-ENTITY-ALARM-MIB.mib
• common\ns_09_ALARM-MIB[rfc3877].mib
• ns_10_NEOCOM-SMI.MIB
• ns_11_NEOCOM-PRODUCTS-MIB.MIB
The latest version of MIB files can be obtained at the following URL:
http://s3.trbonet.com/download/watch/snmp_tools/NeocomMIBs.zip
MIBs numbered 08-09 and all references (00-07 files) are contained in the
MIB\Common folder. The number in the file name indicates the compilation order on
a remote NMS.
NEOCOM-PRODUCTS-MIB (11) describes TRBOnet Watch and determines the scope
of ENTITY-MIB and CISCO-ENTITY-ALARM-MIB (08) functionality implemented in the
current version of the product.
ENTITY-MIB (07) contains information for managing physical entities in the system. It
also arranges the entities into a containment tree that depicts their hierarchy and
relationship to each other. The MIB supports the entPhysicalTable table.
The entPhysicalTable describes each physical component (entity) in the system. The
table contains an entry for the top-level entity (master repeater) and for each entity
connected to the master (hardware peers, applications, and other). Each entry
provides information about the entity: its name, type, vendor, and a description, and
describes how the entity fits into the hierarchy of system entities.
CISCO-ENTITY-ALARM-MIB (08) provides the information about all types of alarms in
the system. This information serves for the following:
• Monitoring when alarms are asserted and cleared.
• Obtaining alarm history information.
• Tracking alarm statistics and counts.
• Generating SNMP traps and syslog messages in response to alarms.
111
B.2 MIB Objects
TRBOnet Watch works with the MIB objects listed in the table below.

B.3 Alarms
An alarm contains the following information:
• Type: A unique code that identifies the alarm
• Severity: The severity of the condition causing the alarm
• Description: The information about the condition that caused the alarm
Alarm state
The alarm state indicates the current state of the condition that caused the alarm:
• Asserted: The condition currently exists.
• Cleared: The condition has been resolved.
Alarm severity
The severity of the alarm indicates the type of condition the alarm represents.
• Critical (1): A severe, service-affecting condition that requires immediate
corrective action.
• Major (2): A hardware or software condition that indicates a serious disruption
of service or the malfunctioning or failure of important hardware. Although
less serious than a critical alarm, a major alarm requires immediate attention
and response of a technician to restore or maintain system capability.
• Minor (3): A condition or problem that does not seriously affect customer
service, or occurs on nonessential hardware.
• Info (4): The information message concerning the event that improves
operation, or the indication of a condition that could cause a problem.
Interpreting alarm information in CISCO-ENTITY-ALARM-MIB
To determine if any alarms are currently being asserted, read the ceAlarmTable object
values.
Each entry in the table contains information about the alarms currently being asserted
by each physical entity. Each entry is indexed by object entPhysicalIndex (ENTITY-MIB)
of the entity.
To obtain information about individual alarms, read the ceAlarmDescrSeverity and
ceAlarmDescrText object values.

confidentiality Properties.
3. In the dialog box, click the Access tab and specify the following
fields. For instance, you can show the following values:
 Read Access Mode: Set to SNMP V3 Priv-DES Auth-MD5.
 Read/Write Access Mode: Set to SNMP V3 Priv-DES Auth-
MD5.
 V3 Engineid: Show the value specified in TRBOnet Watch
configuration (default: 80000AD0431AF108).
 V3 Auth/Prive Security Name, V3 Auth Passwd, V3 Priv
Passwd: Show the values specified in TRBOnet Watch
configuration.
Note: For the description of TRBOnet Watch SNMP configuration

settings, refer to section 4.12, Configuring SNMP
Communication (page 37).
4. Click OK.
Read the list of alarms from a The ceAlarmList object (ceAlarmTable, Oid:
ceAlarmList 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.138.1.2.5.1.3) contains alarms as 32-byte strings in
hexadecimal format.
Note: If no alarm is set, ceAlarmList will contain an empty string

(zero length).
The ordinal bits in the string specify the alarm code.

For example, you get an alarm encoded in the following string:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
115
You see 13 bytes holding zeroes and then a byte holding
information. In this byte, (08) stands for (00001000) in binary
format. Bits in the byte ‘08’ are indexed from right to left, so the
position of the ordinal bit is 3.
Calculate the alarm code:
13*8 (the number of ‘zero’ bits prior to byte ‘08’) + 3 (00001000)=
107
Look for code 107 in Table 70 (page 113). This code indicates the
PeerDisconnected alarm.

RCM Messages
Appendix C: RCM Messages

When the system is unable to set up the call or continue the requested call, it declines
the call setup request with the reason code. TRBOnet Watch Console displays such
reason codes in Live Monitor and includes them in reports as RCM messages.
The following table describes all RCM messages that can be displayed in the TRBOnet
Watch Console.
Table 74: RCM messages
RCM Message Failure Scenario

(Reason Code)
CALL TRANSMISSION STATUSES
Race Condition Failure The Call Setup request is rejected during Arbitration.
Invalid/Prohibited Call Failure Incorrect or forbidden format.
Destination Slot Busy Failure The destination channel is busy.
Destination Group Busy Failure The Call Setup request is declined because the destination
Group is busy on another channel.
This scenario applies to setting up a new call on the rest channel
in Capacity Plus/LCP systems only.
All Channels Busy Failure The Call Setup request is declined because all the channels at
the site are busy. The rest channel is busy.
in Capacity Plus /LCP systems only.
OTA Repeat Disabled Failure The Call Setup request is declined because the repeater where
the request is sent is momentarily disabled by a system
monitoring application.
Signal Interference Failure The Call Setup request is declined because the repeater where
the request is sent is experiencing an FCC type I or II
interference.
In Capacity Plus /LCP systems, this scenario applies to setting up
a new call on the rest channel only.
CWID In Progress Failure The Call Setup request is declined because the repeater where
the request is sent is transmitting CWID.
In Capacity Plus /LCP systems, this scenario applies to setting up
a new call on the rest channel only.
TOT Expiry Premature Call End The call ended because the TOT timer expired.
Failure
Transmit Interrupted Call Failure The Call Setup request with interrupt access failed to interrupt
the ongoing OTA voice call.
Higher Priority Call Takeover The call is preempted by another call with higher priority such as
Failure Emergency call.
117
RCM Message Failure Scenario
(Reason Code)
Local Group Call Not Allowed The Call Setup request for starting a Local Group call is declined
because the site where the request is sent is reserved for Wide
Area or Private calls.
Non-Rest Channel Repeater The Call Setup request is received on the non-rest channel
repeater.
This scenario applies to Capacity Plus /LCP systems only.
Destination Site/Sites Busy The Call Setup request to start a wide area group call is declined
because the destination sites of the group do not have channels
available.
Long Under Run Condition The repeater ends the call due to jitter buffer under-runs
occurring continuously for over 720 ms. This may be due to
network congestion.
Undefined Call Failure Any other failures.
All Call Ongoing or In-progress The Call Setup request is declined because All Call is ongoing.
RCM REPEAT BLOCKED INDICATION
Start of Signal Interference (FCC Signal interference is strong enough and blocks the repeater
Type I) operation (FCC Type I).
End of Signal Interference (FCC Signal interference is weak enough where the repeater resumes
Type I) over-the-air operation (FCC Type I).
Start of Signal Interference (FCC Signal interference is strong enough and blocks the repeater
Type II) operation (FCC Type II).
End of Signal Interference (FCC Signal interference is weak enough where the repeater resumes
Type II) over-the-air operation (FCC Type II).
Start of CWID/BSI Repeat The repeater has to transmit CWID/BSI and begins to block the
repeater operation.
End of CWID/BSI Repeat The repeater has ended its transmission of the CWID/BSI and
resumes normal repeater operation.
Signal Interference Failure Broadcast of the calls into the air is intermitted.
