- ampID(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit ampID(1)
- NAME
- ampID - Echo Device Key
- SYNOPSIS
- ampID [options] [device] [device] [ ... ]
- DESCRIPTION
- This program prints a single powerline device key or HFID on stdout. It can be used to dynamically define environment
- variables or insert command line arguments in scripts at runtime. It is intended to echo a specific key read from a sin‐
- gle device but it can be used to echo a specific key type read from several devices by specifying either the Qualcomm
- Atheros Local Management Address or a broadcast address.
- This program is, in some sense, the inverse of modpib but it reads the key and HFID directly from the powerline device
- instead of reading from a PIB file.
- This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the plc man page for an overview and installation
- instructions.
- OPTIONS
- -A Prints the Ethernet address (MAC) for each specified device. This option and options -D, -M, -N, -S and -U are
- mutually exclusive.
- -D Prints the Device Access Key (DAK) for each specified device. This option and options -A, -M, -N, -S and -U are
- mutually exclusive.
- -e Redirects stderr messages to stdout. By convention status and error messages are printed on stderr while primary
- program output is printed on stdout. This option prints all output on stdout in cases where this is desired.
- -i interface
- Select the host Ethernet interface. All requests are sent via this host interface and only reponses received via
- this host interface are recognized. The default interface is eth1 because most people use eth0 as their principle
- network connection; however, if environment string "PLC" is defined then it takes precedence over the default
- interface. This option then takes precedence over either default.
- -n Append a newline to the end of each key. Newlines are omitted by default so that program output can be used as
- the raw input to another program. If you want the newline then you must request it with this option.
- -M Prints the Network Membership Key (NMK) for each specified device. This option and options -A, -D, -N, -S and -U
- are mutually exclusive.
- -N Prints the network HFID string for each specified device. This option and options -A, -D, -M, -S and -U are mutu‐
- ally exclusive.
- -q Suppresses status messages on stderr.
- -S Prints the manufacturer HFID string for each specified device. This option and options -A, -D, -M, -N and -U are
- mutually exclusive.
- -v Print additional information on stdout. In particular, this option dumps incoming and outgoing packets which can
- be saved as text files for reference.
- -x Cause the program to exit on the first error instead of continuing with remaining iterations, operations or
- devices. Normally, the program reports errors and moves on to the next operation, iteration or device depending
- on the command line.
- -?,--help
- Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- -?,--version
- Print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of
- the Linux Toolkit you are using.
- ARGUMENTS
- device The MAC address of some powerline device. More than one address may be specified. If more than one address is
- specified then operations are performed on each device in turn. The default address is local. See DEVICES for
- information about symbolic device addresses.
- DEVICES
- Powerline devices use Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. A MAC address is a 48-bit value entered as 12 hexa‐
- decimal digits in upper, lower or mixed character case. Octets may be separated with colons for clarity. For example,
- "00b052000001", "00:b0:52:00:00:01" and "00b052:000001" are valid and equivalent.
- The following MAC addresses are special and may be entered by name instead of number.
- all Same as "broadcast".
- broadcast
- A synonym for the Ethernet broadcast address, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. All devices, whether local, remote or foreign
- recognize messages sent to this address. A remote device is any device at the far end of a powerline connection.
- A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros.
- local A synonym for the Qualcomm Atheros vendor specific Local Management Address (LMA), 00:B0:52:00:00:01. All local
- Atheros devices recognize this address but remote and foreign devices do not. A remote device is any device at
- the far end of a powerline connection. A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros.

- Atheros HomePlug AV Vendor Specific Management Message Entry structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros,

- sage structure and content in future firmware releases without any obligation to notify or compensate users of this pro‐
- gram.
- EXAMPLES
- The following example prints the DAK of the local device on stdout. The local device is interrogated because no MAC
- address was specified. The default interface, eth1 on Linux and 2 on Windows, is used unless environment variable PLC is
- defined. The DAK is always printed by default. Depending on your system, you may want to use option -n when using this
- program interactively.
- # ampID
- 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:AA:DD:CC:DD:EE:FF
- The following example prints the NMK of device 00:B0:52:DA:DA:57 connected to interface eth2 on a Linux system. Several
- devices could be specified but that is not a common request.
- # DAK -Mi eth2 00:B0:52:DA:DA:57
- F4:23:71:4A:51:39:C2:2D:E5:EA:87:43:99:A1:37:81
- The following example dynamically inserts the DAK and NMK of the previous device on the command line of another program.
- In this example, we want to insert the DAK and NMK into PIB file abc.pib using program modpib. See the modpib man page
- for an explanation of command line syntax. See the GNU bash manuals for an explanation of why this works.
- # modpib abc.pib -D $(ampID -Di eth2 00:B0:52:DA:DA:57) -N $(ampID -Mi eth2 00:B0:52:DA:DA:57)
- The following example is an alternate way of accomplishing the same thing using shell script variables. This method may
- be easier to read and maintain. Notice that we 'squished' all the options together for brevity.
- # PLC=00:B0:52:DA:DA:57
- # DAK=$(ampID -Dieth2 ${PLC})
- # NMK=$(ampID -Mieth2 ${PLC})
- # modpib abc.pib -D ${DAK} -N ${NMK}
