RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Operation

Trace Mode
The trace mode is ordinarily used to verify operation or debug the station by echoing data
from various test points in the system to the FIPS display. For more information about the
available developer implemented traces, refer to Appendix E.
Note: Notify the control center before initiating a trace. Some trace modes affect station performance
and can cause loss of distribution data due to extra processing delays.
To start a trace, perform the following steps:
1. Establish a FIPS session (see paragraph, "Service Terminal").
2. Use the following command to start the trace.
At the prompt, type:
a 192 [task name] [flag] <Enter>
The trace starts immediately.
For example, to start the Outbound Paging Protocol Manager (OPPM) trace and monitor
input message data the a 192 command appears as follows:
a 192 OPPM 4 <Enter>
3. After a trace is no longer needed, use the following FIPS command to end that trace:
At the prompt, type:
a 193 [task name] [flag] <Enter>
The trace stops immediately.
For example, to disable the OPPM trace, type
a 193 OPPM 4 <Enter>
Note: The options must be entered in exactly the same way as when issuing the FIPS action
command 192 or the trace will not stop.
For further details on the 192 and 193 action commands, see the FIPS action command
description in Chapter 6, "Maintenance", paragraph, "Data Path Diagnostics", and Appendix
C. A description and example of each available trace is provided in Appendix E.
