LTEPA (LTE Packet Analyzer)
This tool is used to capture and decode 3GPP/3GPP2 specific
interfaces messages (hex dumps) in easy & understandable format.

The goal of the tool is to empower users to be able to do some


basic trouble shooting, with just a basic understanding of the
messages that are exchanged within the system. The tool will also
help experienced users quickly analyze and debug problems by
al low ing them to di ve i nto the detai l s of the messages .

LTEPA is currently supported for the following three platforms:


 Windows
 Solaris
 Linux

LTEPA is available in two modes :


 GUI mode called LTEPA
 Command line mode called TLTEPA

LTEPA installation instructions:

Download link

http://mobility.web.alcatel-lucent.com/~ltetool/ltepa/LtepaInstall.htm

Windows7/ XP:
Download the Windows installer for desired Ltepa package from tools
download page and run it on your system, follow all instruction.

If you plan on capturing live network traffic with ltepa, you will need to also
have WinPcap installed on your system. Without WinPcap, you will only be
able to open saved captured files. To install WinPcap, download the WinPcap
installer and run it. WinPcap_3_0.exe

LTEPA installation instructions (Linux)

Download the compressed tar.gz file onto your system. Uncompress the file
using following command:
gunzip –c {Downloaded tar.gz} | tar xvf -

Then add the {installdir}/bin to your PATH variable, using following


command:
export PATH={installdir}/bin:$PATH

Replace {installdir} with its absolute path, for

Ex: export PATH=/home/ltepauser/ltepa_linux_x64_10_0_2/bin:$PATH

export DISPLAY={vnc full address:port}

cd /home/ltepauser/ltepa_linux_x64_10_0_2/bin
./dopa

Background
 The LTEPA tool is built on top of the open source ethereal
software for analyzing packet data, which is completely migrated to
Wireshark .

 LTEPA is restricted for use within Alcatel-Lucent only and


can not be shared with customers or other third parties.

For new requirements / issues (Wireshark version), please take out


a RTS (MR/TR) under "EVDO Tools Support Team > DOPA" .

 The complete documentation for the installation and the usage of


LTEPA is available on the EVDO Tools web page at the following link
