Q.931 Translator

This chapter provides a description of how to use the message translator.

Cisco CallManager generates ISDN trace files, which can be used to diagnose and troubleshoot connectivity problems in Cisco CallManager installations. The log files contain Q.931 type messages (ISDN Layer 3 protocol).

Using the message translator tool, Cisco Support Engineers translate your incoming debugging information into familiar Cisco IOS-equivalent messages.

The message translator works by filtering incoming data from Cisco CallManager system diagnostic interface (SDI) log files, then parsing and translating them into Cisco IOS-equivalent messages. Message translator supports XML and text files.

Using the Message Translator

This section describes how to use the message translator to locate the SDI log file and save it as an IOS format file.

Step 3 Choose the Cisco CallManager server for which you want to translate Q.931 messages.

Step 4 To choose an XML trace file format, click the XML button or, to choose a Text trace file format, click the Text button.

Step 5 If you want to search for a particular trace file, enter the file name in the Search For field.

If the trace file that you chose does not have any ISDN messages in it, the error message, No ISDN Messages in the File, displays.

If the trace file that you chose does have ISDN messages in it, the Q931 translation page contains the following fields: ISDN Message Text and IOS Translation. ISDN Message Text displays all the ISDN messages in the trace file. IOS Translation displays the translated message of the selected ISDN message from the ISDN Message Text list box.

Step 8 Choose the ISDN message to be translated.

The IOS translation text changes based on the chosen ISDN message.
