G.2 PSTN Trace Utility
These utilities are designed to convert PSTN trace binary files to textual form. The binary PSTN
trace files are generated when the User sets the PSTN interface to trace mode.
G.2.1 Operation
Generating textual trace/audit file for CAS protocols -
To generate a readable text file out of the binary trace file when using CAS protocols, rename the
PSTN trace binary file to CASTrace0.dat and copy it to the same directory in which the translation
utility CAS_Trace.exe is located. Then, run CAS_Trace.exe (no arguments are required). As a
result, the textual file CASTrace0.txt is created.
Generating textual trace/audit file for ISDN PRI protocols -
To generate a readable text file out of the binary trace file when using ISDN protocols, copy the
PSTN trace binary file to the same directory in which the translation utility Convert_Trace.bat is
located. The following files should reside in the same directory: Dumpview.exe, Dumpview.cfg
and ReadMe.txt. Please read carefully the ReadMe.txt in order to understand the usage of the
translation utility. Next, run the Convert_Trace.bat. As a result, the textual file is created.
To start and collect the PSTN trace via the Web, please use the following instructions. (Refer to
Figure H-8 for a view of the Trunk Traces). Also, please note if the PSTN trace was of a PRI of
CAS collection based on the framer involved in the trace. This information is needed to properly
parse the captured data.
1. Run the UDP2File utility.
2. Determine the trace file name.
3. Determine the UDP port.
4. Mark the PSTN Trace check box.
5. Push the Run button=> the UDP2File utility starts to collect the trace messages.
6. Activate the Web page by entering <Mediant 2000 IP address>/TrunkTraces, such as:
http://10.8.8.101/TrunkTraces. The user and password is the same for the unit.
7. In the Web page set the trace level of each trunk.
8. Enable the trace via the Web.
9. Determine the UDP port (the same as in step 3).
10. Push the Submit button => the board starts to send the trace messages.
In the UDP2File utility (Refer to
Figure H-9 ) you should see the number in the packets
counter increasing.
