Use the txalarm utility as the primary tool to monitor what is happening in the system, including detecting:
TDM links that have aligned or have failed to align
SCTP associations that have connected or have failed to connect
Problems downloading configurations to the board
txalarm captures messages from the boards, displays them on the screen, and optionally saves them to a file.
Run txalarm from a separate window according to the following syntax:
txalarm [-f filename]
where filename specifies the file to which alarms are copied.
