PTI commands #

Use the PTI commands to set the configuration, control tracing, and dump packet data.

For more information about PTI (including the number of available interfaces and the functions of the different modes) see the PTI overview.


Commands	Description
pti config	Configure PTI or get information about current configuration.
pti disable	Disable PTI.
pti dump	Dump PTI packets.
pti enable	Enable PTI.
pti info	Get PTI stats and current configuration.

pti config#

Configures PTI or retrieves information about the current configuration.

Supported parameters include:

interface number: The number of available PTI interfaces, which is either 1 or 2 (depending on the adapter) Valid indices are 0 or 1.
mode: Supported modes are onewire, twowire, efruart, and vuart.
bitrate: Common PTI bitrates include 3200000, 1600000, and 500000.

You can also:

Use the auto subcommand to apply the default configuration based on the connected radio board.
Use the --nostore option to prevent the configuration from being stored in persistent memory. By default, manually configured PTI settings are stored.
Use the clear subcommand to clear the stored configuration.
Run the command without parameters to view the current configuration.

pti disable#

Disables PTI.

Command Line Syntax

$ pti disable

Command Line Example

$ pti disable
Disabling Packet Trace Interface

pti dump#

Dumps PTI packets. Use the -p option to print the contents of all received packets. If -p is not supplied, statistics are printed once per second. By default, the timeout between packets is 1 second, but you can specify a different timeout in seconds. The command can be exited by sending a newline to the console.

Command Line Syntax

$ pti dump [-p] [timeout]

Command Line Examples

$ pti dump
No timeout specified, defaulting to 1 second.
Will repeat until a new line is received, or no more PTI packets are available.
