OBTAINING LOG FILE
• LOG FILE OF THE SYSTEM
• ETHEREAL LOG
• HYPERTERMINAL LOGS OBTAINED FROM DCC BLOCK
110
LOG FILE OF THE SYSTEM
For obtaining log file from DS200L system: • Establish a SSH Secure Shell connection• At the root command line, type dslog tar and press ENTER key. • All the files under the directory karel/home/log are zipped and a new file named
log.tar.bz2 is formed. In order to get the log.tar.bz2 file, WinSCP program is used. WinSCP connectionis established to the PCU200 computer and log.tar.bz2 file is copied to the maintenancecomputer. It will be necessary and enough to send this file to Karel.
111
• In order to follow the flow of the system’s log at that moment, you can use “dslog” command at the SSH Secure Shell program. Thanks to “dslog” command, system’s start&stop times, active towers and some information about the versions can be observed.
• By the “ dslog |more “ command, these logs can be viewed page by page.
LOG FILE OF THE SYSTEM
112
LOG FILE OF THE SYSTEM
113
Log of IDEA Program: Log of the IDEA program also exists in thesystem’s log. For DS200L systems, normally, analyzing the system’s logwill be enough. But it may not be easy to view the IDEA log inside thesystem’s log when the size of system’s log is too big. If necessary, IDEAlog can be analyzed seperately.
• Obtaining the log file of IDEA program at DS200L systems is similarto DS200 systems. When IDEA program is run, a text based file underthe directory which IDEA program is installed is formed automatically. Inthis file, logs of that current session of the IDEA are saved.
LOG FILE OF THE SYSTEM
114
• When there is a problem at the system and log of this problem is required:
- Run IDEA program
- Double click the LOG icon at the right-bottom side of the IDEA window and reach the log window. After clearing the log window, generate the problem again.
- Copy and paste the log messages and save them in a text file in the maintenance computer.

• Ethereal is a network analyzer program and shows IP signalling logs. It is an open source program and can be downloaded easily from
internet.
• Since DS200L system communicates over LAN through TCP/IP,
Ethereal logs are useful to observe IP communication problems in DS200
communication.
ETHEREAL LOG
IMPORTANT: In order to obtain usable Ethereal logs, programmable network switch or hub is needed.
116
• Run SSH Secure Shell program and see the list of ethernet cards at the PCU200 computer by the ifconfig command.
ETHEREAL LOG
117
● “tcpdump” command forms a file in the PCU200 computer. That file contains Ethereal logs.
ETHEREAL LOG
118
This command is entered as :
“ tcpdump -i eth1 –C 10 –s 1500 –w ethereal “
• -i ( interface ) : shows which interface ( Ethernet card ) is being used.
• eth1: shows the “eth1” named ethernet card is being used.
• -c (capacity ): shows the capacity of logs are saved. Example: -c 10 -> shows the logs will be saved as 10MB sized.
• -s ( snap ): amount of data for each frame ( in terms of byte). If not defined, it’s 68 byte.
• -w ( write ) : determines the name of the ethereal file to be saved under the root directory. In the example above, name of this file is written as “ethereal” for easiness. If desired, this file can be saved in another name.
ETHEREAL LOG
119
• To obtain Ethereal logs, type IP address of PCU200 computer and run WinSCP program.
• Copy the file named ethereal from root directory to the maintenance computer. Send this file to Karel.
ETHEREAL LOG
120
• If necessary, content of these logs can be viewed by following the steps below (The screeenshots below are obtained from the Wireshark program which is the latest version of Ethereal program).
• You can open the Ethereal log file from “File/Open” option on the main menu.
