Signaling Troubleshooting


Revised: December 2, 2008, OL-8000-30

Introduction

This chapter provides the information needed to monitor and troubleshoot Signaling events and alarms. This chapter is divided into the following sections:

Signaling Events and Alarms - Provides a brief overview of each Signaling event and alarm.

Monitoring Signaling Events - Provides the information needed to monitor and correct Signaling events.

Troubleshooting Signaling Alarms - Provides the information needed to troubleshoot and correct Signaling alarms.


Caution The use of the UNIX ifconfig down command on any signaling interface to test or troubleshoot network or interface failures of the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Signaling Interface may lead to undesirable consequences or conditions.


Note The following billing records are created when a call is rejected due to overload conditions:
· SS7 termination cause code 42
· Cable signaling stop event cause code "resource unavailable"
Calls rejected by the signaling adapter will not generate a billing record.


Signaling Events and Alarms

This section provides a brief overview of the Signaling events and alarms for the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch in numerical order. Table 10-1 lists all signaling events and alarms by severity.


Note Click the Signaling message number in Table 10-1 to display information about the event or alarm.
