You can now activate tbsigtrace and pipe it directly in wireshark through SSH to get a live capture SS7, ISDN or IP (not all in the same wireshark window). This page provide the procedure for a Windows base operating system using plink and wireshark tools.

WARNING: tbsigtrace application should not be used all the time, otherwise it might reduce performance. Also we suggest to do the live capture on only one Tmedia at a time.

The procedure is as following:


Contents

Download plink

  Download plink - http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/plink.exe
  Place it in  C:\Program Files\Putty directory

Download tbsigtrace version 2.7

If not using at least version 2.7, download the attached tbsigtrace on unit (/root directory or any other valid directory)

CentOS version ppc version

Note: Unzip the file so that it gives you the executable file tbsigtrace_2_7_10_centos or tbsigtrace_2_7_10_ppc.

Upload tbsigtrace to toolpack server

Rename tbsigtrace_2_7_10_centos or tbsigtrace_2_7_10_ppc to "tbsigtrace_2_7" and upload it to the toolpack server /root directory or any other valid directory. In the command below, replace tbsigtrace by /root/tbsigtrace_2_7


Execute the command to capture the signalling accordingly

For SS7 capture
 plink.exe -ssh root@[IP_of_management_port] -P [ssh_port] -pw [ssh_password] "tbsigtrace -adapter TB00xxxx -stdout -ss7" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -

ex.

 plink.exe -ssh root@10.10.10.10 -P 22 -pw mypassword "tbsigtrace -adapter TB005052 -stdout -ss7" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -


For ISDN capture
 plink.exe -ssh root@[IP_of_management_port] -P [ssh_port] -pw [ssh_password] "tbsigtrace -adapter TB00xxxx -stdout -isdn" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i - 

ex.

 plink.exe -ssh root@10.10.10.10 -P 22 -pw mypassword "tbsigtrace -adapter TB005052 -stdout -isdn" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -


For SIP or SIGTRAN capture
 plink.exe -ssh root@[IP_of_management_port] -P [ssh_port] -pw [ssh_password] "tbsigtrace -adapter TB00xxxx -stdout -ip" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -

ex.

 plink.exe -ssh root@10.10.10.10 -P 22 -pw mypassword "tbsigtrace -adapter TB005052 -stdout -ip" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -


For Radius, SNMP or H.248 capture
 plink.exe -ssh root@[IP_of_management_port] -P [ssh_port] -pw [ssh_password] "tcpdump -i mgmt0 -s 0 -w - -f 'not tcp port 22'" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -

ex.

 plink.exe -ssh root@10.10.10.10 -P 22 -pw mypassword "tcpdump -i mgmt0 -s 0 -w - -f 'not tcp port 22'" | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
