• Modem test: To ensure the proper functionality of the modem, the
Digi Passport unit has the ability to test the modem connection in a
configurable interval.
The modem test allows a phone number and an interval to be speci-
fied. After the system has booted, the interval has elapsed, and the
modem is not in use, the specified dial number is called. The
modem trains and receives a login prompt from the other side (nor-
mally another Digi Passport unit). If the login prompt (login:) is
detected, the line is disconnected again and the modem test is con-
sidered successful. Two ports can call each other using this modem
test procedure. If the other modem is in use, the tests will fail.
There are multiple ways to review the information about the mode
test:
Through the syslog in the Digi Passport unit:
In this example, a modem connected to port 16 calls another
modem connected to port 15. Here is how this activity is logged in
the syslog. Any errors occurring are captured in the syslog file as
well.
