💅 DAHDI_MAINT 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the dahdi_maint(8) page — this is the manual for dahdi_maint, and she's here to put your Dahdi spans into maintenance mode. like, loopback vibes. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dahdi_maint — sets Dahdi spans into maintenance mode, e.g.: loopback 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dahdi_maint -s num [options]
dahdi_maint <-h|--help>

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so dahdi_maint uses the DAHDI_MAINT interface to set a Dahdi span (that's a port of a Dahdi adapter card, fyi) into loopback mode or some other similar maintenance mode. literally it's the "hey span, take a lil self-care moment" tool. 🧖♀️✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -s, --span num — the span number. this one is required, bestie, don't skip her. 💅
• -l, --loopback <localhost|networkline|networkpayload|loopup|loopdown|off> — the loopback type. pick exactly one of these, and here's the tea on each:
  • localhost — loop back towards host 🏠
  • networkline — network line loopback 🌐
  • networkpayload — network payload loopback 📦
  • loopup — transmit loopup signal ⬆️
  • loopdown — transmit loopdown signal ⬇️
  • off — end loopback mode 🛑
• -i, --insert <fas|multi|crc|cas|prbs|bipolar> — insert an error of a specific type 😈 (yes, on purpose, iconic)

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

enable network line loopback on span 1, slay:

dahdi_maint -s 1 --loopback networkline

disable network line loopback on span 1, we're done here:

dahdi_maint -s 1 --loopback off
