ISDNMONITOR(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    ISDNMONITOR(8)

NAME

     isdnmonitor -- isdn4bsd / isdnd remote monitoring tool

SYNOPSIS

     isdnmonitor [-c] [-d debuglevel] [-f filename] [-h hostspec] [-l pathname] [-p portspec]

DESCRIPTION

     isdnmonitor is used to remotely monitor the operation of the ISDN demon, isdnd(8), which manages all ISDN related connection and disconnec-
     tion of ISDN devices supported by the isdn4bsd package.

     The options are as follows:

     -c      Switch to (curses-) fullscreen mode of operation. In this mode, isdnmonitor behaves nearly exactly as isdnd(8) in fullscreen mode. In
	     fullscreen mode, entering the control character Control-L causes the display to be refreshed and entering Carriage-Return or Enter
	     will pop-up a command window. Because isdnmonitor will not listen to messages while the command window is active, this command window
	     will disappear automatically after 5 seconds without any command key press.

	     While the command window is active, Tab or Space advances to the next menu item. To execute a command, press Return or Enter for the
	     highlighted menu item, or enter the number corresponding to the item to be executed or enter the capitalized character in the menu
	     item description.

     -d      If debugging support is compiled into isdnmonitor this option is used to specify the debugging level.

	     In addition, this option accepts also the character 'n' as an argument to disable displaying debug messages on the full-screen dis-
	     play.

     -f      Specifying this option causes isdnmonitor to write its normal output and - if enabled - debugging output to a file which name is
	     specified as the argument.

     -l      is used to specify a Unix local domain socket name to be used for communication between isdnd(8) and isdnmonitor

     -h      is used to specify a hostname or a dotted-quad IP address of a machine where an isdnd(8) is running which should be monitored.

     -p      This option may be used to specify a remote port number in conjunction with the -h option.

ENVIRONMENT

     The following environment variables affect the execution of isdnmonitor:

     TERM    The terminal type when running in full-screen display mode.  See environ(7) for more information.

EXAMPLES

     For a first try, the following command should be used to start isdnmonitor to monitor a locally running isdnd:

	   isdnmonitor -h localhost

DIAGNOSTICS

     Exit status is 0 on success, 1 on error.

IPPP(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   IPPP(4)

NAME

     ippp -- ISDN synchronous PPP network driver

SYNOPSIS

     pseudo-device ippp count

DESCRIPTION

     The ippp driver interfaces the IP subsystem of the operating system with the ISDN layer so that a transport of IP packets over an ISDN link
     is possible.

     For configuration of the ippp driver, either the ipppctl(8) utility is used or it is configured via isdnd(8) and its associated isdnd.rc(5)
     file.

     In case an IP packet for a remote side arrives in the driver and no connection is established yet, the driver communicates with the isdnd(8)
     daemon to establish a connection.

     The driver has support for interfacing to the bpf(4) subsystem for using tcpdump(8) with the ippp interfaces.

     The ipppctl(8) utility is used to configure all aspects of PPP required to connect to a remote site.

   LINK0 and LINK1
     The link0 and link1 flags given as parameters to ifconfig(8) have the following meaning for the ippp devices:

     link0  Wait passively for connection.  The administrative Open event to the Link Control Protocol (LCP) layer will be delayed until after the
	    lower layers signal an Up event (rise of ``carrier'').  This can be used by lower layers to support a dial-in connection where the
	    physical layer isn't available immediately at startup, but only after some external event arrives.	Receipt of a Down event from the
	    lower layer will not take the interface completely down in this case.

     link1  Dial-on-demand mode.  The administrative Open event to the LCP layer will be delayed until either an outbound network packet arrives,
	    or until the lower layer signals an Up event, indicating an inbound connection.  As with passive mode, receipt of a Down event (loss
	    of carrier) will not automatically take the interface down, thus it remains available for further connections.

     The link0 flag is set to off by default, the link1 flag to on.
