Decoding Q.931 FACILITY Messages 1

[jneiberger]

Do any of you know how to interpret the "Facility i = " field in the output of "debug isdn q931" ? I'm trying to debug some QSIG call transfer and path replacement stuff and I can't figure out what I'm even looking at.

As an example:

*Nov 10 19:12:56.031: ISDN Se0/0/0:23 Q931: TX -> FACILITY pd = 8 callref = 0x0022
Facility i = 0x9FAA068001008201008B0100A11F02020A0002010C30160A0101A00EA5090A010412043738
32300A01030A0100

How do I figure out which q931 message that actually is? It is most likely a QSIG call transfer message, but I need to know for sure, and I also need to figure out which messages in my logs are QSIG path replacement messages.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
John

john,

i have a decoder that i've used in the past but it doesn't seem to work for your qsig message. I have used it in the past on OTHER qsig issues where cisco stuff maybe wasn't passing the facility IE for voicemail access (but we were ).

Since there's no PM function here, give me your email addy and I'll send it to ya - you might be able to use it in the future.

What is the name of this decoder application? what sort of information can this decode? Sounds interesting...

 

[rtfmdude]

i think it's just an hex->ascii decoder, a little in house app called facility2name. Drop an email addy and I'll punt it to whomever.
