Trace Guide Openstage TDM
What is a phone-trace?
- It is a capture of messages and activity states of the phone.
How can I get a phone-trace?
- The tracing is enabled via the Web interface, actions are then performed on the phone, during which the trace information is captured. When the desired actions have been performed, the captured trace information can be downloaded and viewed.
- For enabling tracing just enter the WBM, choose Administrator Pages and select Diagnostics. There you can enter the Fault trace configuration.
- The file size should be set to 500.000 bytes (768.000 bytes maximum). When the file size is reached, the phone save the trace file as old trace file and begins a new one. If the new one reaches the maximum file size, the old trace file will be replaced.
- You should only activate a few traces and use the function "Automatic clear before start" (old files will be deleted)
- The tracing is also reachable from the pbx (H4k-TSDM / H3k-Maintenance).
