Entry Meaning

Circuit the name of the circuit for which the entry has been created

Start time the date and time of dialing this circuit

Stop time the date and time of hanging up this circuit

Online time the time this circuit was online

Billed time the time for which the provider will charge you (depends on the timing)

Costs the costs the provider will charge to your account

Bandwidth the bandwidth used, separated into “in” and “out” (“in” coming ﬁrst), pre-

sented as two unsigned integer numbers for which the following applies: Band-

width =

4GiB ﬁrst number second number

Device the device used for communication

Invoice pulse the invoice pulse used by the provider for charging (taken from the circuit

conﬁguration)

Call charge the fee charged per invoice pulse (taken from the circuit conﬁguration)

IMOND_LOGDIR If the imond log is activated, this variable can be used to choose an alter-

native log directory instead of the default /var/log, e.g. /boot. This is useful in order to

make the log persistent on the boot medium. However, this requires the boot medium

to be mounted read/write.

The default value is ’auto’ which lets the ﬂi4l router to determine the storage location au-

tomatically. Depending on further conﬁguration, the storage path is /boot/persistent/base

or some other path determined by the FLI4L_UUID variable. If neither FLI4L_UUID

is set nor /boot is mounted read/write, the log ﬁle can be found under /var/run.

IMOND_ENABLE IMOND_DIAL IMOND_ROUTE IMOND_REBOOT These variables make

certain imond commands available in user mode (enabling/disabling the ISDN interface,

dialing/hanging up, changing the default route, rebooting the router).

Default settings:

IMOND_ENABLE='yes'

IMOND_DIAL='yes'

IMOND_ROUTE='yes'

IMOND_REBOOT='yes'

All other features of imond’s Client-Server interface are described in a separate chapter

(Page 265).

3.13. General circuit conﬁguration

IP_DYN_ADDR If you use connections with dynamic IP address assignment, you need to set

IP_DYN_ADDR to ‘yes’, otherwise to ‘no’. Most Internet providers use dynamic IP address

assignment.

Default setting: IP_DYN_ADDR=’yes’
