COM1, COM2), some internal interfaces between software modules can be monitored when such ad-
vanced diagnostics is needed.
Monitoring output can be viewed on-line or saved to a file in the RipEX (e.g. a remote RipEX) and
downloaded later.
Description of internal interfaces can be found below.
■ Interfaces
Tick boxes:
RADIO, COM1, COM2, ETH, Internal
When ticked, the setting for the respective interface(s) is enabled. When the "Internal" interface is
ticked, another set of interface tick-boxes appears as follows:
Internal:
RADIO, COM1, COM2, TS1, TS2, TS3, TS4, TS5, Modbus TCP, TCP proxy
When ticked, the setting for the respective internal interface(s) is enabled (see the description below).
■ Common parameters for all interfaces:
○ Rx Tx
Tick boxes.
When ticked, packets (frames, messages) coming in the respective direction are monitored. A
packet is considered a Tx one when it comes out from the respective software module (e.g.
RADIO or Terminal Server) and vice versa. When an external interface (e.g. COM:phy) is
monitored, the Tx also means packets being transmitted from the RipEX over the respective
interface (Rx means "received"). Understanding the directions over the internal interfaces may
not be that straightforward, please consult the diagram below for clarification.
Please note the separate monitoring of Rx or Tx frames is not possible at the ETH interface.
○ Display
List box: HEX, HEX+ASCII, ASCII
Default = HEX
The format of monitoring output.
○ Offset [bytes]
Default = 0
Number of bytes from the beginning of packet/frame, which will not be displayed. The Length
of bytes will be displayed starting from the immediately next byte.
This feature is not available at the ETH interface.
○ Length [bytes]
Default = 100
Number of bytes, which will be displayed from each packet/frame.
Example: Offset=2, Length=4 means, that bytes from the 3
rd
byte to the 6
th
(inclusive) will be
displayed:
Data (HEX): 01AB3798A28593CD6B96
Monitoring output: ... 3798A285 ...
■ Filter parameters for IP/ARP packets
(available for RADIO, ETH and Internal RADIO (router), COMn(router), TSn(router), Modbus
TCP(router), TCP proxy (TCP), TCP proxy(router)):
○ IP src
IP source address range in the following format: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/mask
