4.3.4.3.1 Overview
WARNING: this configuration is volatile, which means that the dump.ppp file will be cleared each time when eWON is rebooted.
The dump.ppp file containing the logged data can be used in the following ways:
• it can be sent as an attachment to an email or by using the $dtPP Export Block Descriptor
• it can be found in the eWON FTP root and then downloaded locally or on another FTP folder
• it can be opened and analyzed by using EtherReal, which is a tool used to analyze TCP frames (http://www.ethereal.com/
)

Figure 17: PPP Dump configuration page
Control Description
Log Incoming call Logs communications when eWON is acting as a PPP server
Log Outgoing call Logs communication when eWON is acting as PPP Client (connects to a server)
Log Size (bytes)
Number of bytes allocated for logging PPP communications.
When the log is full, logging stops (this does not prevents communication from continuing)
Maximum log size is 1MByte (Log Size between 50000 and 100000 are sufficient for debug purpose)
Append to log
Prior to append to log, you must clear log manually using the Clear Log button in the PPP Dump
configuration page
Log following connections
eWON will log only the N next connections, the number of connections will be decreased
each time a new connection is logged; when the last connection has been logged,
then the counter will be set to -1 (to prevent further connections to be logged).
When the value of this counter is 0, then all connections are logged.
You can manually set the counter to -1, in order to suspend connection logging, but if you want to release
the log buffer, then you should disable the Log Incoming call and the Log Outgoing call options.
In case you want to log multiple connections, you can choose to Append data to the log or not.
