A system, method and apparatus is disclosed for capturing call processing
failures in a telecommunication system occurring at a telecommunication
digital cellular switch as the failures occur. The system includes a
computing system adapted for communicating with the telecommunication
system, the computing system including one or more computers having one or
more processors for executing logic instructions; a memory associated with
the computing system for storing the instructions; a storage device
adapted for communicating with the computing system for storing data; and
a communication device associated with the computing system for
establishing a communication link between the computing system and the
telecommunication system. The method includes establishing a communication
link between a computing system and the telecommunication system; the
computing system continually capturing call processing failure data
occurring at the telecommunication digital cellular switch; and storing
the captured call processing failure data to the storage device. The
apparatus includes a computer adapted for communicating with the
telecommunication system, the computer having one or more processors to
execute logic instructions associated with one or more computer software
programs and a memory for storing the logic instructions; a first adapter
coupled to the computer for interfacing the computer to a server; a second
adapter coupled to the computer for continually capturing call processing
failure data at the telecommunication digital cellular switch; and a
communication device coupled to the computer for establishing a
communication link between the computer and the telecommunication system.
