Configuring the Adapter: Manual

Use the command, dm_admin, to manually configure ports when the graphical configuration program, dm_gui, cannot be used. dm_admin is fully documented in its man page; a brief description of all command line options may be obtained by entering the following at the command line:

dm_admin --help

DataFire RAS B4STU Command Line Examples

Example 1. BRI Channel Configuration

dm_admin -b0 -s17 -A1 5551234 -A2 5551235 --S1 61255512341111 
         --S2 61255512351111

-b0	Board Number = 0
-s17	Switch Type = NI1
--A1 DN1	Directory Number for Channel 1
--A2 DN2	Directory Number for Channel 2
--S1 SPID1	SPID for Channel 1
--S2 SPID2	SPID for Channel 2

This example configures two channels of a RAS B4STU adapter. In an actual configuration, there may be up to eight --An and --San parameters, depending on how many BRI lines are available.

Example 2. Query BRI Port Configuration

dm_admin -b0 -p1 -q

-b0	Board Number = 0
-p1	BRI Port = 1
-q	Query

Example 3. Query D-Channel Status

dm_admin -b0 -q

-b0	Board Number = 0
-D	Query D-Channel status

Example 4. Query Host Adapter Status

dm_admin -b0 -q

-b0	Board Number = 0
-q	Query

Example 5. Busy-Out B Channel

5a. Busy-Out Immediately

dm_admin -b0 -p1 -c1 -m2

-b0	Board Number = 0
-p1	BRI Port = 1
-c1	Channel Number = 1
-m2	Immediate Enable

-b0	Board Number = 0
-p1	BRI Port = 1
-c4	Channel Number = 4
-m1	Disabled

Example 6. Force Modem Hangup

dm_admin -b0 -p2 -c1 -h

-b0	Board Number = 0
-p2	BRI Port = 2
-c1	Channel Number = 1
-h	Force Modem Hangup
