5: Freeway Boot and Operation
DC 900-1333Q 151
5.3 Maintenance Tools
The following sections list some helpful tools available on the Freeway.
5.3.1 Freeway Log
The basic logging of messages from the Freeway daemon is available through the Free-
way interactive menu, which you can get by logging in to the Freeway and selecting
these menu items:
"2) Display Options", then
"2) Display Log Messages"
Once viewed, those messages will not be displayed again, so re-entering those menu
items will only show new messages (that occurred after the previous message log view-
ing). To see all messages in the circular buffer, use these menu items (starting from the
Freeway Main Menu):
"2) Display Options", then
"5) Display System Information", then
"6) Display Circular Queue of Messages"
In addition to the Freeway daemon logs, there is also a system-level log which you can
view with the "dmesg" command, from the BSD shell.
5.3.2 MSGMUX Trace
The MSGMUX trace is a tool that traces IP traffic on the network between client sys-
tem(s) and the Freeway. Specifically, it traces only those packets generated by a client
application using the DLI/TSI interface. This makes MSGMUX trace a very useful tool
for debugging a new client application program.
