Collecting Debug Recording Messages

To collect debug recording packets, the open source program Wireshark is used.
AudioCodes proprietary plug-in files for Wireshark, which are shipped in your software kit,
are also required.
Notes:

To install Wireshark and the plug-ins for debug recording:
1. Install Wireshark on your computer. The Wireshark program can be downloaded from
http://www.wireshark.org.
2. Copy the supplied AudioCodes plug-in files to the directory in which you installed
Wireshark, as follows:
...\dtds\cdr.dtd
...\plugins\1.6.2\*.dll
...\tpncp\tpncp.dat
3. Start Wireshark.
4. In the Filter field, type "acdr" (see the figure below) to view the debug recording
messages. Note that the source IP address of the messages is always the OAMP IP
address of the device.
The device adds the header "AUDIOCODES DEBUG RECORDING" to each debug
recording message, as shown below:
