Here is the text from a document I wrote. Provides step-by-step instructions. The steps for reading the file TOOLPW to find the password to turn on the utility PMDEBUG are unique to our switches since this is a script I wrote to make things easier for us.
A few DON’Ts with PMDEBUG
1. Do NOT use break and HX inside PMDEBUG.
2. Do NOT quit PMDEBUG without turning off the monitor and removing the PRI index.
Process for monitoring a PRI D-channel via the DMS utility PMDEBUG
1. Go to table TRKSGRP and position on the trunk CLLI you want to monitor. Note the location of the D-channel. In this example the D-channel is DTCI 9 13 24.
TABLE: TRKSGRP
>pos NATL_ELCTRC_PRI 0
NATL_ELCTRC_PRI 0 DS1SIG ISDN 4 4 87Q931 1 N STAND NETWORK PT_PT USER N UNEQ
30 N DEFAULT DTCI 9 13 24 64K HDLC $ $
2. Quit out of all tables and utilities via QUIT ALL command:
TABLE: TRKSGRP
>quit all
3. Type LISTSF ALL to list all the files in SFDEV.

>listsf all

4. Look for a file named TOOLPW and read that file. The output from reading the file will produce a tool password.
>read toolpw
Use " 70085040STD " for your TASTOOLS Password!
5. Type TOOLSUP to enter the tools utility.
>toolsup
TOOLSUP - Tool Supervisor
Type HELP to display available commands
TOOLSUP:
6. Type ACCESS ON PMDEBUG. You will be prompted for a password. Enter the password from Step 4 above.
>access on pmdebug
Enter Password:

PMDEBUG permitted
PMDEBUG access will expire 48 hours from now.
** WARNING **
You have permitted access to command(s) that require
skilled and knowledgable users. Proper use is required
to avoid possible service degradations. Please ensure
that only fully trained and qualified personnel
proceed.
7. Type PMDEBUG DTCI X where X is the DTCI number for the D-channel from Step 1 above.
>pmdebug dtci 9
PMDEBUG MODE - CONNECTING TO DTCI 9 UNIT 1
WARNING: You now have access to the PM monitor...proceed with caution
8. Type ISDNCP to move down one level.

10. Now type PRIDUMP. The listing displays the port and channel number of various D-channels on DTCI 9. Our D-channel was DTCI 9 13 24 (from step 1 above). Under the column PSIDE is the port and channel. We want to get the number under column SIDX for 13 24 which is 2688 in this case. If your D-channel is not displayed, then type CONTINUE to show the next page.
