PSTN Diagnostics Tool Reference
The numbering convention, x.y.z, is used to identify a component in the tree, for example
“Channel 0.2.1”, where:
• x is an integer that represents the board logical ID, in this example 0
• y is an integer that represents the trunk on that board, in this example 2
• z is an integer that represents the channel number on that trunk, in this example 1
If only one number is used in the identifier, this number represents the board, such as Board 0 and
Board 1. If two numbers are used in the identifier, such as Trunk 0.2 and Trunk 1.5, the first
number represents the board and the second number represents the trunk.
26.4.3 The View Bar
The view bar contains two option buttons: one (1) represents the upper pane, and the other (2)
represents the lower pane. When you first launch the pstndiag tool, the system level view is
displayed in the upper pane; the lower pane is empty. The view bar shows these two option buttons:
“1 System” and “2 None”. Figure 8 illustrates a sample view bar.

The label on the option button changes according to what is displayed in that pane. Once a
component has been opened, it is then available from both option buttons. To display a component
in the upper pane or lower pane, select it from the appropriate option button. To close a view, right-
click on the component in the option button and click close view. Alternatively, double-clicking on
a component in the system level view displays that component in the upper pane. Shift-double-
clicking displays the component in the lower pane.
A view can display a system, a board, a trunk, a channel, or a log file. For example, in a back-to-
back test scenario, you might want to display two channel level views at one time. Or you might
want to display a board level view and a log file view.
26.4.4 Option Buttons and Command Buttons
Option buttons are buttons that provide additional options. These buttons are identified by a short
horizontal bar, as seen in Figure 11 through Figure 18. Click on a button to view additional options,
and click on an option to select it. An action occurs, or a new set of parameters is displayed. The
use of option buttons allows related information to be grouped together and helps to reduce clutter
on the screen.
Command buttons are buttons that when pressed activate a command. There are two types of
command buttons: those that toggle between two actions (these are identified by two periods
following the button name) and those that issue a command directly. For example, the
