What is TranslatorX?

TranslatorX is a troubleshooting tool that allows you to quickly parse through trace files from a variety of Cisco Collaboration products and search for SIP, Q.931, H.225, SCCP (Skinny), or MGCP messages. TranslatorX supports searching through large numbers of trace files and provides advanced filtering capabilities to help you find the calls you are interested in. You can generate sophisticated message filters to view only the specific calls you are interested in. These filters can be created automatically for you based on call detail record information as well.

TranslatorX is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux.
