Hi Amit,

On the voice gateway you can use the command "show call history voice" to look for the relevant call and it will also tell you the disconnect cause/reason, and may give an indication whether the call disconnected from VoIP side or TDM side. If you don't find the call in there it means that the call didn't reach the voice gateway in the first place. Depending on the call direction this means the call dropped in the PSTN, or in the PGW, or in the rest of the VoIP network.

If you suspect the PGW, there is no quick and easy command to check why a particular call dropped. Probably the best approach in that case is to capture the problematic call in a Unix snoop trace, making sure you capture the ISUP as well as the ISDN leg of the call and then analyze the trace using Wireshark.

More advanced PGW call tracing can be done using the MML "sta-sc-trc" command, but to interprete the resulting call trace you may need the PGW expertise of a TAC engineer.

Sincerely,
