BCM50 Administration Guide
To log UIP data
1Click the UIP tab.
2Select the Log UIP Data check box.
You can log UIP data to track the most recent 20 UIP messages. If you enable UIP logging, BCM
Monitor writes UIP messages in log files, which are created in the log folder in the BCM Monitor
startup directory. One log file is generated for each monitored system and each module or loop.
Log files are named IPAddr_MCDN.log, IPAddr_PRI_BusX.log, and
IPAddr_BRI_BusXModuleYLoopZ.log.
To view UIP log files
1Locate the log file that is saved to the BCM Monitor startup directory.
2Open the log file with a text editor, such as Notepad, or a spreadsheet application, such as
Microsoft Excel.
You can view the amount of time after which monitoring of selected UIP modules will be
disabled, and you can disable the monitoring timeout. If you are investigating intermittent
problems, an extended monitoring period may be required. In this case, disable the monitoring
timeout and enable logging of UIP data.
To configure timeout settings
1Click the UIP tab.
2To disable the timeout, select the Disable Timeout check box.
Viewing UIP message details
The Universal ISDN Protocol Messages section displays a folder for each UIP module that is
enabled for monitoring. Each folder displays up to 20 most recent UIP messages. You can expand
UIP messages that contain at least one information element. An information element can contain
data, which you can expand as well.
Each UIP message line contains the following information:
• the direction in relation to the BCM50 (> for incoming or < for outgoing)
• the message type (CC for Call Control, MTC for Maintenance)
• the direction in relation to the call reference origin (> Cref Origin for incoming or < CRef
Origin for outgoing)
• the message name (or a hexadecimal value if the name is unknown)
Caution: Before you disable the monitoring timeout, consider the potential
impact on system performance if the BCM50 system handles a high number of
PRI calls.
