Diagnostic Parameters and Commands
Using diagnostics-related DO commands for the MAX 6000 unit’s PCMCIA card
WANOpening
Description: Similar to WANDisplay, but WANOpening displays only the opening incoming
and outgoing packets for all users during the establishment of their PPP sessions. This
command is particularly helpful if you are troubleshooting connection problems in which users
seem to connect to the MAX, but are disconnected within a few seconds. Again, the output
from WANOpening is very similar to WANDisplay, but displays packets for sessions only until
the connection has been completely negotiated.
If you enter the command while traffic through your MAX is heavy, the resulting amount of
output can make it tedious to find the information you are looking for. The screen might even
display the message
----- data lost -----
, which just means that not all the output
can be displayed on the screen. You might prefer to use the WANOpening command during a
period of low throughput.
Usage: wanopening
number_of_octets_to_display_from_each_packet
Enter
WANOpening 0
to disable the logging of this information.
WDDialout
Description: Displays the specific packet that caused the MAX to dial out. The command is
particularly helpful if the MAX is dialing out when it should not. Use
WDDialout
information
to design a filter to keep the MAX from dialing out because of a particular packet.
The command is a toggle that alternately enables and disables the diagnostic display.
Usage: Enter
wddialout
at the command prompt.
Example: The following message includes a date/time stamp, the phone number being dialed,
and the packet that caused the MAX to dial out:
Date: 01/01/1990. Time: 00:51:56
Cause an attempt to place call to 18185551234
WD_DIALOUT_DISP: chunk D7BA6 type OLD-STYLE-PADDED.
