Utilities and demonstration programs

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

Utility

Description

cpcon

Uses Natural Access to manage communication with the TX board. This utility is an operator console run from the command line. cpcon supports Hot Swap.

If you want to bypass the Natural Access 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 Natural Access to display and optionally log alarm messages generated by SS7 tasks running on all TX boards. txalarm supports Hot Swap.

If you want to bypass the Natural Access 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

Configure TDM-based interfaces on TX 4000C boards. ss7load calls txconfig at board boot time. Refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ Signaling Software Configuration Manual for more information.

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 on the TX board Flash memory.

txinfo

Obtains detailed TX 4000C board information.

txlocate

Blinks the end bracket LEDs of a TX 4000C 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 4000C 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. Refer to the Dialogic® TX Series SS7 Boards TDM for SS7 Developer's Reference Manual for information about these programs.

Program

Demonstrates how to...

t1demo

Test the T1/E1 and H.100/H.110 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 4000C board.
