Use txeeprom to display the information stored in a TX board EEPROM. The information is determined at TX board manufacturing time and describes the hardware options available on the board. The board serial number is also recorded in the EEPROM.
Run txeeprom according to the following syntax:
txeeprom -c channelnum -b boardnum -t
where:
Argument |
Description |
-c channelnum |
DPR channel to use. Default is 246. |
-b boardnum |
Board number to which to attach. Default is 1. |
-t |
Trace program. Default is no tracing. |
Most fields in the EEPROM display are static; they do not change from one TX board to another. The following table presents the configurable parameters set at TX board manufacturing time:
Field |
Description |
SerialNum |
Unique serial number assigned to the TX board. Use this number to track the board. |
Licensing |
Shows the various licensing options that have been activated for the specified TX board. All boards are licensed for signaling at the MTP layer. The following additional licensing options are available:
Any currently unused licensing bits are reserved for future options. |
NumSS7Links |
Maximum number of SS7 communication links that can operate on the given TX board. |
NIC Addr n |
Ethernet MAC address assigned to each LAN adapter on TX boards. |
