Abstract

Systems and methods for a debug line tracer for telecommunication networks are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a method may include requesting via a computer interface, by a user operating a computing device, that a trace processor initiate a call trace operation. The method may also include originating a call to a phone number in response to an indication from the trace processor that a call trace set up procedure has been completed for the phone number. In some cases, requesting that the trace processor initiate the call trace operation may further include providing an indication of the phone number to the trace processor, sending a call trace request to the trace processor, and, in response to the indication that the call trace set up procedure has been completed for the phone number, transmitting a command that the call trace operation be initiated.
