Tmedia System Installation Guide for TMP6400 and TMS1600

6.1

Reporting a Problem

TelcoBridges has developed extensive tools to gather information about a Tmedia system to solve 
problems quickly. Users 

MUST

 gather all related logs before reporting a problem to TelcoBridges 

Support via Email or MSN. Various logging methods are described in the following sections.

Once information is gathered and sent to the TelcoBridges Support group (

[email protected]

), 

the Support group will assign a tracking number to the problem. All follow-up correspondence, whether 
it be by E-mail, MSN, or phone call must refer to the tracking number which the problem has been 
assigned.

6.2

Setup Information

The setup information must include:

Physical connections. If necessary, describe it in a network diagram.

Specify if your product is a TMP6400, or a TMS1600.

Host controlling the TMP6400s (manufacturer, CPU type, memory, OS version and patch level, 
Ethernet interface details)

Telecommunication connectivity diagram (for example:. E1/T1/J1, DS3, STM-1/OC-3, VoIP 
Ethernet switch, etc)

Application description

Remote access to system (SSH, VPN, VNC, Remote desktop, etc.)

For a signaling-related problem, specify which side is initiating the call

6.3

tblogtrace (Mandatory)

tblogtrace is started automatically by Toolpack.

Useful information about this application is listed as follows:

tblogtrace captures events from the system at run-time.

The TMP6400s and TMS 1600s transmit their system messages as UDP ASCII packets. 

The tblogtrace MUST be setup to gather information at all times, when developing the application 
and also in a live system. In this way, Telcobridges can identify a problem even if it occurred in the 
past.

The Toolpack system starts and configures the tblogtrace application automatically. The files can be 
found in the [InstallDir]/toolpack/setup/SystemId/MajorVersion/apps/tblogtrace/ directory.

If you are not using Toolpack, start it manually as follows:

1. Locate the tblogtrace application located in tb/apps/tblogtrace/release/<proc-OS-arch>/ directory.

tblogtrac requires that certain parameters are specified:
