To know which files are available and the start and end time of each file:

To load a file in memory to be seen from Web (live calls continue to be captured to files): <br>
+
 
+
*Option 'o' with the data filename (uctdata*)

Once done, you can go back in the Web portal and select Call Trace from the menu on the left. You can search for calls using the filters. The memory will not be overwritten until you restore normal process.

Call trace (uct) was created to trace the callflow from any incoming call through the Tmedia system. It allows to see the incoming call, the routing decision, outgoing calls, other outgoing calls if there is route retry, the parameters selected for SIP SDP, the SIP Call-id, the trunk and timeslot chosen for TDM protocols, the termination result code, and more.

It allows to store information for long periods of time and search for calls in history. The last 10,000 call legs (default size) can be seen directly in the web portal. Older logs can be loaded and viewed on the same system, or exported to other systems. Once a specific call has been consulted, it will remain in memory for a longer period of time, so that it can be consulted later on.
Calls to view can be filtered according to called number, calling number, Network Access Point (NAP), time of day range, protocol and direction.

Note: Call Trace is available starting with release 2.6
