man dahdi_scan (8): Print Configuration of DAHDI Spans

SYNOPSIS

dahdi_scan [spans]

DESCRIPTION

dahdi_scan prints information about DAHDI spans in the system. For analog spans it also provides a list of channels.

By default it prints information about all the spans in the system. However if parameters are provided, they will be considered to be a list of span numbers and information will be printed for them.

Output is printed to the standard output. The format is that of an Asterisk configuration file (similar to a "ini" configuration file), where the name of the section is the number of the span. Note that the specifically for analog spans some keys may appear more than once, and hence you can not use a parser for an "ini" format and assume you have a dictionary.

EXAMPLES

Printing information for spans 1, 2 and 4:

dahdi_scan 1 2 4

And to print all the spans:

dahdi_scan

Information about a certain analog span:

  [5]
  active=yes
  alarms=OK
  description=Xorcom XPD #00/10: FXS
  name=XBUS-00/XPD-10
  manufacturer=Xorcom Inc.
  devicetype=Astribank: Unit 1 Subunit 0: FXS
  location=usb-0000:00:03.3-4
  basechan=125
  totchans=8
  irq=0
  type=analog
  port=125,FXS
  port=126,FXS
  port=127,FXS
  port=128,FXS
  port=129,FXS
  port=130,FXS
  port=131,FXS
  port=132,FXS

And an example of a digital span:

  [1]
  active=yes
  alarms=RED
  description=T2XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 1
  name=TE2/0/1
  manufacturer=Digium
  devicetype=Wildcard TE205P (4th Gen)
  location=Board ID Switch 0
  basechan=1
  totchans=24
  irq=193
  type=digital-T1
  syncsrc=0
  lbo=0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)
  coding_opts=B8ZS,AMI
  framing_opts=ESF,D4
  coding=B8ZS
  framing=ESF

The "type" field may contain: "analog", "digital-T1", "digital-E1", "digital-J1" or "digital-BRI".

FILES

Requires read access to /dev/dahdi/ctl .

BUGS

The program still does not do everything described in the man page.

It also assumes that spans don't skip channel numbers, and that their channel numbers are "running". This is anyway almost always the case. And always the case in a normal boot process.
