- plclog(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit plclog(1)
- NAME
- plclog - Qualcomm Atheros Log Retrieval Utility
- SYNOPSIS
- plclog [options] [device] [device] [...] [>stdout]
- DESCRIPTION
- Read and print the device watchdog and checkpoint report on stdout for subsequent analysis by Atheros Technical Support.
- Report output is in XML format and contains base-64 encoded binary data returned by the device. Aside from the XML tags,
- output is not in human readable format.
- This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
- instructions.
- OPTIONS
- -c Specify custom watchdog report.
- -C Clear the report after reading.
- -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.
- -x Print the report in XML format. The default is raw (or binary) format.
- -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.
- -q Suppresses status messages on stderr.
- -v Print additional information on stdout. In particular, this option dumps incoming and outgoing packets which can
- be saved as text files for reference.
- -?,--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.
- LOGFILES
- Log files are save in binary format by default but they can also be saved in XML format by adding option -x to the com‐
- mand line. By convention, binary log files have a .log extension and XML log files have a .xlog extension. The exten‐
- sion is not critical but it helps us determine the format before we open the file.
- DEVICES
- Powerline devices use Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. MAC addresses are 12 hexadecimal digits
- (0123456789ABCDEFabcdef) in upper, lower or mixed case. Individual octets may be separated by colons, for clarity, but
- not all octets need to be seperated. 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 expressed by name instead of number.
- all Equivalent to "broadcast", described next.
- broadcast
- A synonym for the standard Ethernet broadcast address, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. All devices, whether local, remote or
- foreign will respond to this address.
- local A synonym for the Qualcomm Atheros vendor specific Local Management Address (LMA), 00:B0:52:00:00:01. All local
- Atheros devices will recognize this address but remote and foreign devices will 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.
- REFERENCES
- See the Qualcomm Atheros HomePlug AV Firmware Technical Reference Manual for more information.
- DISCLAIMER
- Atheros HomePlug AV Vendor Specific Management Message structure and content is proprietary to Atheros Communications,
- Ocala FL USA. Consequently, public information is not available. Atheros Communications reserves the right to modify
- message structure or content in future firmware releases without any obligation to notify or compensate users of this
- program.
- EXAMPLES
- The following example reads the Watchdog and Checkpoint Report from device 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 and prints them on stdout in
- XML format. The output contains data segments formatted in base-64 notation which preserved data integrity when read or
- transmitted in text format.
- # plclog 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02
- The next example does the same thing but pipes output to file temp.log. Atheros recommends using a .log extension for
- compatibility with the WIndows Device Manager.
- # plclog 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 > temp.log
