Trace Options for HiPath 3000
Tracing ISDN activities
This feature allows the user to trace ISDN telephones (subscriber ports) and ISDN trunks (trunk
ports) in real time. ISDN activities are routed to HiPath 3000 Manager E and saved in a trace
file. Only the ISDN sequences are displayed on the monitor, not the content of the ISDN mes-
sages.
The feature is activated in HiPath 3000 Manager E by selecting the "Call Monitoring" tab under
Maintenance. The Start button starts Call Monitoring, whereupon the data of all available ports
in the system is read out.
If the trace session is over, you can start the
ISDN Message Decoder
(ISDN Tracer) and use
it to convert the trace file into a readable format (English only). You can also read out the trace
data using remote service.
The ISDN Message Decoder is a 32-bit application which converts ISDN layer-3 messages and
information elements into a readable format. Since you cannot find out from the trace file wheth-
er it deals with an information element from a Euro ISDN or a QSig configuration, you have to
select the protocol. You may select the following settings from the main menu:
●
Raw (default setting)
●
Euro ISDN
●
QSig V1
●
CorNet NQ
With the “Raw” setting, the Hex values are only decoded, not interpreted. With the other two
settings, the Hex values are decoded and interpreted for each feature (CC, AOC, etc.).
Tracing call-specific activities
You can trace all activities that were initiated by a call for telephones, trunks, etc. These include
consultation calls, conference calls, and hunt groups, for example.

Special user rights are required for activating the Trace setting in the Maintenance
menu, that are exclusively reserved by the user group Development.
