Description

For more information, refer to...

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 environment, use the cpcon_ utility to manage communication with the TX board.

Running cpcon

cplot

Loads communications processor tasks to TX boards.

cpmodel

Displays the board type for each installed TX board.

Viewing a list of installed TX boards: cpmodel

pcigetcfg

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

Obtaining bus and slot information during software installation (UNIX only)

ss7trace

Used when monitoring or troubleshooting SS7 signaling. Displays any debug data tracing that is turned on in MTP or ISUP and any Ethernet trace data that has been activated.

Receiving data traces from TX based tasks: ss7trace

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 environment, use the txalarm_ utility to display and optionally log alarm messages.
