Troubleshooting a Sametime TURN Server

If your Sametime® deployment experiences problems with NAT traversal, begin by troubleshooting the Sametime TURN Server.

About this task

Attention: Diagnostics should only be enabled only when you are advised to do so by IBM® Technical Support. IBM Technical Support will determine whether extended diagnostics are required.

Procedure

  1. On the TURN Server, navigate to the directory where the TURN Server files were installed (for example, C:\TURN).
  2. Open the logging.properties file for editing.
  3. Change the following settings as shown:
    java.util.logging.FileHandler.level=ALL
    java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=ALL 
    com.ibm.stun.level=FINER
    com.ibm.turn.server.level=FINER
    com.ibm.network.agent.level=FINER
    Trace levels are:
    • FINE: Information logs as well as severe messages
    • FINER: Information logs and all messages
    • FINEST: ALL logs
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Stop the TURN Server by pressing Ctrl + C.
  6. Restart the TURN Server by running the batch file again.

What to do next

If you cannot isolate a problem on the TURN Server, you may need to troubleshoot other Sametime components that are involved in NAT traversal:
  • Sametime Connect Client
  • Sametime web audio-visual plugin
  • Sametime Proxy Server
  • Sametime Media Manager - SIP Proxy/Registrar component
