SYSTEM MESSAGES

OVERVIEW

System Messages provide useful system information. They are listed in the system’s report log, a memory resident table. To manipulate the report log, use the following commands at the administrative console:

dr or ds er or es wr or ws

When the CyberSWITCH writes system messages to disk, it stores them in the following locations: Directory:

File Name:

The system reports messages using the following format:

Message Type		Time	Report Number	Message
I	Informational	hour:minutes:second	internal ID for area	actual text of
W	Warning		reporting the	the message
E	Error		message

•the Message Type quickly identifies the type of message the system reports

•the Time identifies when the message was reported

•the Report Number is used by your Distributor or Customer Support

•the Message text describes the actual message being reported

This chapter describes the types of system messages available (for example, informational and error). It also lists each message individually, with suggested actions to take in the event of an error.

Notes: In addition to the system report log, there are separate logs for both call detail recording and authentication messages. Prior to software release 7.3, the authentication messages were included in the system report log. With release 7.3, these authentication messages now appear in a separate log. You may access this authentication log with the commands:

da	to display authentication messages
ea	to erase current authentication messages
wa	to write authentication messages to disk

The authentication messages are still described within this chapter. For descriptions of possible call detail recording messages, refer to Event Report Contents in the Advanced Options chapter.

Also note that some system options require you to enable a trace before messages concerning these options are recorded in the system report log. Refer to the Trace Messages chapter for more information.
