Setup and start the VCOM Service

To starup the VCOM service, one would need to:

  1. Add/Remove VCOM connections
  2. startup/update the VCOM service

We've included the following tools to asist with the process:

command discription example
advadd add a VCOM connection $ sudo advadd -t c524 -a 172.17.8.100 -p 1 -m 0
advrm remove a VCOM connection $ sudo advrm -m 0
advman startup/update the VCOM service $ sudo advman -o start
advls list the VCOM connections $ sudo advls
advps list the connection status of the current system $ sudo advps

The command advadd,advrm, advls handles the "offline" VCOM connection map.
To make the VCOM connection "active and current", one would need to use advman to start or update the service.

back to README.md

1. Add/Remove VCOM connections

Add connections to the VCOM connection map

Use advadd to add a VCOM connection.

option discription info
-a IP Address a IPv4, IPv6 or URL
-t DeviceID checkout devic_id.md
-m MinorID of the driver node starts from 0
-p Port Number on the Device starts from 1
-r Redundent IP Address
-s Synchronize added node to the active service

the following examples shows how to add a connection with/without TLS.

  • Add a VCOM connection connecting /dev/ttyADV0 with a EKI-1524-CE's 1st serial port:
foo@bar~:$ sudo advadd -t c524 -a 172.17.8.100 -p 1 -m 0
  • Connect /dev/ttyADV0 with a "VCOM over TLS" connection
foo@bar~:$ sudo advadd -t ssl:c524 -a 172.17.8.100 -p 1 -m 0

Remove unwanted connections from the VCOM connectoin map

Use advrm to remove connectons from the map.

  • Remove the connection assigned to /dev/ttyADV0
foo@bar~$ sudo advrm -m 0
  • Remove connections, which are connected to 172.17.8.100
foo@bar~:$ sudo advrm -a 172.17.8.100
  • Remove connections, which are connected to an EKI-1522-CE
foo@bar~$ sudo advrm -t c522

List the connection map

Use advls to list the connection map, please notice this is the offline map.
To make this map "active and current" one would have to startup the VCOM service via advman.

foo@bar~:$ sudo advls
0   c524   172.17.8.224   1
1   c524   172.17.8.224   2

2. Startup/update the VCOM service

Startup/updating the service with the current map

Use advman to startup or update the VCOM service everytime the VCOM map is modified.

foo@bar~:$ sudo advman -o start

advman has only one option "-o", however, it can have the following input values:

value Discription
start start the system(Driver + Service) according to the offline connection map
stop Stop the system(Driver + Service)
sync sync/update the system according to the offline connection map
insert Insert the driver, don't start the service
remove Remove the driver
restart Stop and then restart the service

Checking the VCOM connection status

Use advps to check the active and current VCOM connection status.

foo@bar~:$ sudo advps 
ttyADV0 PID:622218 TCP Dev:c524 Port1 IP:172.17.8.222  
ttyADV1 PID:622221 TCP Dev:c524 Port2 IP:172.17.8.222|172.17.8.223  
ttyADV2 PID:622224 TLS Dev:c524 Port1 IP:172.17.8.224  
ttyADV3 PID:622227 TLS Dev:c524 Port2 IP:172.17.8.224
