— COMMONLY USED DIAGNOSTIC COMMANDS
The following diagnostic commands provide information about the state of the transceiver, including current RF
connections and software version information. They can be used to collect information that may be useful in
determining why a radio connection is not performing as expected.
INICHECK
The INICHECK command checks the validity of the current transceiver configuration against the CIM (configuration
interface module) and optionally reconfigures the radio if the configuration is invalid. The CIM is a script file of
configuration commands with a signature contained in a removable SD card. When the CIM script is run, the radio is
configured by commands in the script and the CIM signature is stored in nonvolatile memory in the transceiver. When
a user invokes commands that reconfigure the transceiver, the CIM signature in the transceiver is invalidated. The
transceiver is reconfigured at startup if a CIM is found and the configuration is invalid. INICHECK allows a user to check
the configuration manually at any time.
Syntax:
INICHECK
or
INICHECK,script
Returns:
+OK
on success, or
+Bad Parameter
on failure.
LINKSTAT
The
LINKSTAT
command displays link statistics by link. On a remote transceiver (locomotive or wayside), it also
shows which Base Station Transceiver is currently selected. A minus-sign (–) to the left of the radio ID indicates that the
remote transceiver is currently attempting to connect to it. A caret (^) indicates that the remote transceiver is
connected to the Base transceiver. Below is an example of output from the
LINKSTAT
command on a Base Station
Transceiver.
