Instructions

Capture SMPP trace and analyze

Capture the SMPP trace of the issue: Execute the following command as root user on each of the Traffic Elements:

tcpdump -i any port 9500 -s0 -w /var/tmp/`hostname`_Test.pcap

After the test messages are sent, you can stop the capture with ctrl+C.

Open the trace using a tool like Wireshark to analyze it.

 

Fix data coding configuration

Check for a data coding configuration issue, as resolved in this solution article.

 

Contact Support with relevant logs

If it is not a data coding configuration issue, submit a support request with all the following information (from the Traffic Elements, not the MGR):

  • /var/log/messages  
  • /usr/TextPass/etc/<hostname>_config.txt
  • A tp_walkalloutput

  • Traces from all traffic nodes as already explained above.
