01 · The symptom
What did the gateway do?
Yesterday
Run debug ccsip, save the output, read 10,000 lines.
Today with FRINK
The capture rendered as call flows and a ladder, failures highlighted.
Gateway troubleshooting
One gateway problem.
Two ways to fix it.
Today, CUBE changes mean SSH, IOS syntax and the one engineer who remembers how the dial-peers fit together. A typo takes calls down; a debug capture takes an afternoon to read.
02 · The routing
Which dial-peer matched?
Yesterday
Work out by hand which dial-peer should have matched.
Today with FRINK
Dial-peer decisions per leg; the simulator answers the fix before you dial.
03 · The change
Apply it safely
Yesterday
Type the change in configure terminal and hope the syntax holds.
Today with FRINK
Validated form, verified CLI and audit trail; snapshots before templates and rollbacks.
04 · Result
Fixed, documented, reversible
Yesterday
Fixed – if the one engineer is in today.
Today with FRINK
Fixed, documented, reversible.

Call-routing issues within CUBE
Real volume on dial-peer 0 explained one-way audio and codec drops across the deployment.

- Which dial-peer matched?Volume on dial-peer 0 – the built-in default: any codec, VAD on, no DTMF relay.
- Apply it safelyFix applied as one template deployment, each gateway snapshotted first.
