Utilities and demonstration programs

NaturalAccess Signaling Software provides the following utilities and demonstration programs for the TX 4000 board. Run these programs from the \Program Files\Dialogic\tx\bin directory in Windows and from the /opt/dialogic/tx/bin directory in UNIX. For more information about each utility, refer to the Dialogic® TX Series SS7 Boards TX Utilities Manual.

Utility

Description

cpcon

Uses NaturalAccess to manage communication with the TX board. This utility is an operator console run from the command line.

If you want to bypass the NaturalAccess layer, use the cpcon_ utility to monitor the TX operating system.

cplot

Loads communications processor tasks to TX boards.

cpmodel

Displays the board type for each installed TX board.

pcigetcfg

Obtains bus and slot information during software installation (UNIX only).

txalarm

Uses NaturalAccess to display and optionally log alarm messages generated by NaturalAccess Signaling Software tasks running on all TX boards.

If you want to bypass the NaturalAccess layer, use the txalarm_ utility to display and optionally log alarm messages.

txccode

Displays a text description of a completion code (error code) reported by a TX board.

txconfig

Configures TDM and IP based interfaces on TX 4000 boards. ss7load calls txconfig at board boot time. For more information, refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ Signaling Software Configuration Manual.

txcpcfg

Assigns CP numbers to TX boards based on bus and slot.

txdiag

Provides diagnostic information about TX boards.

txdump

Dumps the contents of the shared memory used for communication between the TX board and the host driver.

txeeprom

Displays information stored in the EEPROM.

txflash

Updates the operating system stored in the TX board Flash memory.

txinfo

Obtains detailed TX 4000 board information.

txlocate

Blinks the end bracket LEDs of a TX 4000 board.

txreset

Resets a TX board and reboots the board from the operating system image stored in Flash memory.

txsnap

Generates a core dump of a TX 4000 board, creating a snapshot file.

txstats

Displays statistics maintained by the TX device driver.


NaturalAccess™ Signaling Software provides the following programs in compiled and uncompiled form to demonstrate the usage of the TDM libraries. For information about these programs, refer to the Dialogic® TX Series SS7 Boards TDM for SS7 Developer's Reference Manual.

Program

Demonstrates how to...

t1demo

Test the T1/E1 and H.100 library functions with TX boards in a system.

t1stat

Receive unsolicited T1/E1 status messages and performance reports.

txdynamic

Dynamically switch SS7 links across TDM channels without rebooting the TX boards.

txsdemo

Use the TX SWI library. Use this program as a starting point to control switching on a TX 4000 board.
