I've turned on d-channel messaging and one of our PRIs keeps having an incoming CC_FAC_IND message.
What does this mean? I understand the alert messages but not the facility messages and our other PRI does not do this.

CS1000
4.5

Thanks

this just looks like normal setup and tear down information

It does except for those several setup messages...and they happen on every call out of that PRI.

No, just like johnpoole says, these are normal messages.
This is just some Facility Messages being sent to your call server after the call setup. These are inbound Facility messages. Could be a name display update, or a whole list of other things.

You could capture these in MON 2 and have someone debig the HEX to see exactly whatit is saying, but there is NO indication of an error in these messages.

OK....here's one with hex.
Thanks!!

5ESS....set at NI2...here's the Dch programming. On one of the PRIs they had it setup with RCAP- COLP and NDS, I removed NDS and at least the fast busies went away.

In general facility messages are a real pain to decode. You hadn't mentioned that you were getting fast busy conditions.

Since the FB has cleared, there was obviously some Supplementary Signaling message with CPND being sent with the setup when you had NDS set on the RCAP.

There is a little known fact about DCH messaging that may interest you. The flow looks like this:

[PBX]<----UIPE---->[MSDL CARD]<----Q.931---->[CO]

When you enable DCH monitoring you are actually looking at the UIPE messaging. You need to enable the DEBUG mode on the monitoring to look at the raw Q.931/Q.932 side. If you do this, the Hex is MUCH easier to decode.

DEBUG monitoring mode used to require a password to enable (I think prior to 4.00) but in the newer releases the password option was relaxed and removed.

If you REALLY need to see what those facility messages are, you can capture MON2 in DEBUG mode (documented in the NTPs) and it can be picked apart, but it seems your issue is resolved by removing the NDS in the RCAP.

As always, you should do your captures during a slow period. Release 5.00 and higher allows you to capture to a log file on the PBX and is a bit easier on the CPU cycles. In any case, overloading the messaging output is never good, and if you get a flood of messages, you could have a negative impact on the system. Again, always best to do this during a quiet period until you know for sure what you are working with.

Thanks so much for your help.....it's appreciated.

I have turned on dch messaging in and out for both of those PRIs....and we're an Outbound Call Center. Will so many messages being spit out affect the PBX in any way?

Thanks
