Modex Daemon
The Modex Daemon is the YWS module that controls all direct
communication between the EtherLoop modems and the YWS. It is started at
bootup and runs continuously. The daemon executes functions on the
EtherLoop modems such as the following:
• SNMP get/set commands
• EtherCraft status polling and controls
• EtherLoop modem firmware downloads
The Modex Daemon module contains a button that allows you to start and stop
the daemon without having to re-start the YWS.
Figure 2-12 shows the Modex Daemon page.

Modex Daemon and ETH 0 / ETH 1
The Modex Daemon can process commands and requests over the ETH 0 or the
ETH 1 interface. In an InterProxy-VBN
system, the Modex daemon directs the
processes over the ETH 1 interface. In a "one-armed" EtherLoop OAM&P
system,
the Modex daemon directs the processes over the ETH 0 interface.
The Set ModeX daemon information
function in the System Maintenance section
of the NSS Maintenance module contains a pull-down menu to change the daemon
setting to either ETH 0 or ETH 1. See “NSS Maintenance” on page 2-16.
