• If you use the mantool from scripts, i.e., not interactively, add the "-b" option to turn the interactive

mode off.

The following parameters can be used with the mantool utility:

Parameters Description

-r Reads the content of management interface directory or variable specified in <path>.

-w Sets the value of the management interface variable specified in <path>.

-e Executes the management interface function specified in <path>.

-m Monitors incoming/outgoing calls (line activity).

-a Monitors state changes of analog modem hardware (connection progress and reporting).

-g Monitors state changes of fax G3 hardware (connection progress and status reporting).

-Exclusive Obtains exclusive access to the management interface. In this mode mantool will use the file lock

to obtain exclusive access to the board. Normally, it is necessary to get access to the management

interface of the device driver that supports only one management entity. The lock operation will

time out after 10 sec. In this case, mantool will return error.

-WDog Use 20 sec timeout for management interface operation. This may be necessary if mantool is

invoked from script and should not block for undetermined amount of time.

-b Informs mantool that it was invoked from the script. In this mode mantool will never block and
