41.6 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:
• The default debug recording port is 925. You can change the port in Wireshark
(Edit menu > Preferences > Protocols > AC DR).
• The plug-ins are per major software release and are applicable to Wireshark Ver.
1.62.
• The plug-ins are backward compatible.
• From Wireshark Ver. 99.08, the tpncp.dat file must be located in the folder,
...WireShark\tpncp.
 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:
Copy this file To this folder
...\dtds\cdr.dtd Wireshark\dtds\
...\plugins\1.6.2\*.dll Wireshark\plugins\1.6.2
...\tpncp\tpncp.dat Wireshark\tpncp
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.
