U-TRACE
Short Syntax:
DIAL.016 Indication " indication_type " reason " reason " state state dev device name
Long Syntax:
DIAL.016 Modem indication ( indication_type ), reason " reason " in state state on device device name
Description:
The V.25 bis modem has sent the specified indication. This may indicate that a connection attempt, initiated by the Dialer has failed (INV or CFI) for the reason specified (see the calling unit user's manual for a description of the reason code, if any accompanies this message). Alternatively, this may just be a redundant incoming call indicatation (INC), which had already been signalled by the CI Circuit 125.
Cause:
Call Aborted: router timed out, or modem user interface command.
Action:
Extend the call establishment period or don't interrupt the call.
Cause:
Local Modem Busy: the user interfered through the calling unit user interface.
Action:
Do not interfere.
Cause:
Engaged Tone: the remote end is busy.
Action:
Try again later (the router should automatically).
Cause:
No Dial Tone: the telephone network isn't responding.
Action:
Fix the link, contact service provider.
Cause:
Number not stored.
Action:
Call customer service: we don't use the corresponding command.
Cause:
No Answer Tone Detected: remote unit did not respond with answer tone.
Action:
Check called number, verify that remote unit is on-line.
Cause:
Ring Tone (but no answer).
Action:
Check called number, verify that remote unit is on-line.

Long Syntax:
DIAL.017 Modem sent " message " in state state , on device device name
Description:
The V.25 bis calling unit has either accepted the router's request (INC), or is connecting the call (CNX). This is a normal event even though perhaps not always reported by a given modem/CU.

DIAL.018

Level:
UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
DIAL.018 Delayed call delay_time minutes dev device name
Long Syntax:
DIAL.018 Modem indicates call delayed for delay_time minutes on device device name
Description:
The V.25 bis modem has indicated that it will not attempt additional outgoing calls for at least the indicated period. This is an optional feature of some modems in some administrations, which inhibits very frequent calls over a short period. Examine the previous log entries to determine why so many calls are being made.
Cause:
Connections to a particular destination(s) are continually being cleared.
Action:
Check the GateWay messages, to determine if the calls are being IDLE-d out (increase the idle period), or if the verification procedure is failing (check the calling number at both ends).
Cause:
Non-responding remote modem.
Action:
Check the called number and verify that the remote modem is on-line.
Cause:
Busy remote.
Action:
Increase the Call Retries timeout for that destination.

Long Syntax:
DIAL.027 Client connection established to destination in time seconds on device device name

DIAL.028

Level:
ALWAYS
Short Syntax:
DIAL.028 Bad direct transmit protocol protocol dev device name
Long Syntax:
DIAL.028 Some forwarder ( protocol ) has attempted to transmit directly over the Dialer device device name
Description:
Transmission over the Dialer network is supposed to be done only via an associated dial circuit, which will do an appropriate encapsulation. This is caused by a mistake in the configuration of the forwarders. No forwarder should be configured to use the Dialer network. To bound the number of these messages, they will be logged for only a fraction of the actual events.
Cause:
A forwarder (IP, IPX, etc) address was assigned to the Dialer interface.
Action:
Delete the address, and (probably) re-assign it to a dial circuit (which is itself mapped to the Dialer network).
Cause:
The bridge or other forwarder has been configured to use the Dialer interface.
Action:
Remove the Dialer interface as a port used by the bridge or forwarder.

Long Syntax:
DIAL.035 Modem result code " result_code " in state state on device device name
Description:
The modem has returned the specified result code. This may indicate that a connection attempt, initiated by the Dialer has failed (ERROR, BUSY, NO CARRIER, NO ANSWER, NO DIALTONE) for the reason specified (see the modem's user manual for a description of the result code). Alternatively, this may just be an incoming call indication (RING), which may also be signalled by the CI Circuit 125. Or it may be an indication that a command to the modem has succeeded (OK).
Cause:
OK: a modem command was successfully issued.
Action:
None.
Cause:
ERROR: a modem command failed, possibly because the command is unknown to the modem.
Action:
Check the modem's user manual for the proper command to use.
Cause:
CONNECT: a connection has been successfully established. Carrier detect is up.
Action:
None.
Cause:
NO CARRIER: carrier detect has failed or has been dropped because of disconnection.
Action:
Retry the connection if necessary.
Cause:
BUSY: the remote end is busy.
Action:
Try again later (the router should automatically retry).
Cause:
NO DIALTONE: the telephone network isn't responding.
Action:
Fix the link, contact service provider.
Cause:
NO ANSWER: the remote unit did not respond with answer tone.
Action:
