Troubleshooting the PortMaster 3

The

debug

command is useful for troubleshooting the digital modems and Multichassis

PPP events. Output is sent to the system console set by the

set console

command. After

completing the debugging process, disable the

debug

commands by using the correct

set debug off

command, and reset the console with the

reset console

command.

Debug information is displayed to the console.

To set debug flags used for troubleshooting, use the following command—entered on
one line:

Command>

set debug mdp-status

mdp-events

mcppp-event on

off

Table 11-12 explains the debug options for the PortMaster 3

Table 11-12
