| 13 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ----------- | |
| 15 | The 'network device' command shows low-level status information | |
| 16 | of network devices and other things. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | COMMANDS | |
| 19 | -------- | |
| 20 | The following commands are understood: | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | 'list':: | |
| 23 | This command shows a list of all device that are currently present | |
| 24 | on this system. This includes PHYs and serial devices as well. | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | 'DEVICE discover':: | |
| 27 | Runs a discovery for many hooks on the given device. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | This will check if the hook can find for example a DHCP server or | |
| 30 | DSLAM and thus predict for what the device should be used. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | 'DEVICE identify':: | |
| 33 | This command only works for Ethernet adapters and will make those | |
| 34 | that support this feature flash for a few seconds. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | It is handy to find the right device to put the cable in. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | 'DEVICE monitor':: | |
| 39 | This command creates a monitor interface for wireless modules. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | An instance of link:tcpdump[8] will be started and show all | |
| 42 | frames that are sent or received on the 802.11 layer (layer 2). | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | 'DEVICE status':: | |
| 45 | This will show you very detailed information about the given device. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | 'DEVICE unlock':: | |
| 48 | This command will unlock the SIM card in a modem. | |
| 49 | Only serial devices are supported which are the most 4G or 3G modems. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | For the PIN or PUK code, the user will be prompted. | |
