SUMMARY
=======

A trace of the X.25 layer may be useful for troubleshooting purposes with the
Mail Gateway to X.400. An X.25 trace provides connection information not
reflected in the X.400 gateway log file.

To obtain the trace, follow these steps:

1. Start the Eicon software.

2. Start the Eicon trace utility by typing:

  " ectrace start size 10240 x25" (without the quotation marks)

3. Start the Mail gateway to X.400.

4. Recreate the error condition.

5. Stop the gateway.

6. Stop the Eicon trace and save the trace information in a file:

  ectrace read x25 4/E > filename.txt

Additional query words: 2.10 3.00 3.20
