This document and information contained herein is subject to the restrictions set forth on the title page .
Specifying the loghost with an IP number of 0.0.0.0 or with a name of “none”
disables the syslog messages. The system is configured at the factory with the
syslog messaging disabled
The modem will send system error messages to the specified remote loghost on
UDP port 514 using the “syslog” protocol. Use of this feature is completely
optional, although it may be useful for monitoring or troubleshooting since a
system console is not provided.
Any host system with a syslogd facility may be used to collect the messages.
Most Unix and Linux system have syslogd capability and there are both free and
commercial syslogd programs for Windows. (See, for example,
http://www.kiwisyslog.com.)
4.2.25 loop Loopback Mode
Usage: loop [<0|1|n|y|off|on>]
Authorization: Operator RW; Administrator RW
Display or set the current loopback mode.
With no argument, displays the current loopback setting. With an argument of 0,
n, or “off” sets the loopback to off. With an argument of 1, y, or “on” sets the
loopback mode to on.
There are three loopback functions: local, remote, and traffic. Local loopback
connects the serial data port output (RD) to the serial port input (TD). This is
useful for testing the data interface lines, receivers, and drivers.
Remote loopback connects the receive serial data to the transmit serial data. This
echos received data back to the sender where it can be checked for correctness,
for example with a bit error rate tester (BERT).
4.2.26 mac Media Access Control (MAC) Address
Usage: mac [<0|1>]
Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RO
Display the Ethernet port MAC address.
Every Ethernet device is required to have a unique MAC or “hardware” address.
This address is assigned by the manufacturer and is set at the factory.
The RMS and payload Ethernet ports have separate MAC addresses. The 0 or 1
will select which is displayed. If not specified, the RMS port (0) is displayed.
4.2.27 mod Modulation
Usage: mod [<0|1|n|y|off|on>]
Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RO
With no argument, displays the current modulation setting. With an argument of
0, n, or “off” sets the modulation to off. With an argument of 1, y, or “on” sets
the modulation to on.
