TNG(not TNGLive): The buffer is detected, but I receive no call details via serial cable

  • To ensure call details are received outside TNG, first test from the buffer:

  • Stop TNG service.

  • Connect to the buffer using putty or hyperterminal.

  • If you get output for ‘SYS’ or ‘REV’, then the buffer is working.

  • TNG prompt the buffer for call details; therefore it should be set AUTO DUMP disabled.

  • Confirm on the ‘SYS’ output if AUTO DUMP is disabled.

  • If not, the command is ‘SAD 0’.

  • Now you can type ‘S’ and enter to receive 1 string of call details.

  • If there are any corrupt data, press ‘S’ until no more received.

  • If still no call details, make an answered test call with a duration and after call termination - press ‘S’.

    • If call details received, then it is now working.

      • Disconnect with putty/hyperterminal to free the com port.
      • Start TNG service.
      • The call list page should update - depending on call volume.
    • If call details not received, the cable from the PABX must be tested.

      • connect the cable direct to a PC which has a comport or use a USB to serial converter.
      • connect with hyperterminal/putty to that comport see if call data received.
      • if no call details received, do trouble shooting on the serial cable and PABX side.
