Hi ,

It can seem dumb , but I’ve just played/discovered the ATA 187 ( which is working in SIP) . while I was trying to enter in the IVR menu , I was prompted for a password that we have not in the past.So after one or two google line , I finally discovered that the default password is cisco ( yeah I know , they are very hard 🙂 ) , so in numeric it is giving you 24726.

numb advise of the day 🙂 lol

SDI/SDL Call Manager Traces

For call processing under the CUCM , you can find 2 types of traces :

  • System Diagnostic Interface (SDI) : SDI informations are traces from services and logs from run-time event.
  • System Diagnostic Layer (SDL) : SDL informations are traces from services as CUCM , CTI Manager and it stores logs state transitions between the node.

Most of the time , SDI traces will be the traces where you can find all stimuli and all interesting call processing traces regarding your phones. With a little knowledge ,it is not very difficult to read these traces

SDL traces are the transition states between the nodes and they are used more by Cisco TAC
