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.
