Viewing BTS 10200 Logs
Viewing BTS 10200 logs is helpful when debugging MTP3 user adaptation (M3UA) related objects of
the BTS 10200. Specific string patterns are printed out by the M3UA Interface Module and are useful to
determine what is occurring in the log. These strings are formatted as follows:
MIM <functional area> <network object>
Functional areas include:
•
Configuration (CFG)
•
STATUS
•
Protocol decode unit (PDU)
•
STATISTICS
•
Control (CTRL)
•
PLATFORM
Network objects include:
•
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
•
Signaling gateway process (SGP)
•
SG
•
Destination point code (DPC)
•
Originating point code (OPC)
•
Routing key (RKEY)
•
CC_ROUTE
Search or grep the following example strings when searching the BTS 10200 logs:
•
M3UA Interface Module (MIM) CFG SCTP—Display how the SCTP has been configured at
startup.
•
MIM PDU—Trace incoming and outgoing ISUP messages at the MIM layer.
•
MIM STATUS DPC—Display how the DPC status has changed in the system.
•
MIM STATUS SCTP—Display how the SCTP status has changed in the system.
•
MIM PLATFORM—Determine if a platform state change has been issued to the SGA/MIM module.
•
MIM CTRL SCTP—Determine if an SCTP association has been administratively taken out of
service or put back in service.
