3.6.5 EVENT

You can invoke event tracking to record actions the system processes, for the purposes of debugging
the system. This operation is rarely required and usually used following a request by the customer
service department to do so. The output data is presented to the SMDR serial port. Note: The data
must be collected in a dedicated collection PC using special Event Tracking software, or a terminal
emulation software that writes to a text file, for later deciphering at customer service.
Event tracking can be started and stopped by a specified system operation, or set to continue until man-
ually discontinued.
1. To start event tracking select Event Invoking, and select one of the available system operations
that will cause event data output to begin. (Do not select "Pseudo" to begin event tracking.
This operation is a non-occurring event intended for use with "End Event" when the event out-
put should not end by a system operation.)
2. Select Event Invoking to define the action that will start the tracking procedure.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the type of event to use for starting the tracking procedure.
In this example, we have chosen to start the event with an entry from the dial key pad.
