Abstract

An error detecting and reporting system utilizes a subscriber terminal to monitor some aspect of communication link conditions while active on a call. The subscriber terminal includes a call state information detection mechanism. The mechanism monitors and saves the call state information leading to a link failure in a non-volatile memory. A processing unit sends the saved call state information to a system management entity when the link is re-established. The system management entity utilizes the call state information as part of a system performance activity by correlating the saved call state information with related system events to determine system problems.
