There is a single and mandatory argument which is the +command to run. That command operates on all the Astribanks connected to +the system. + +Technically all the commands are implemented using Dahdi::Xpp::Mpp which +in turn uses astribank_tool. Thus using thus tool will require root +permissions or otherwise read/write permissions to the USB device. + +The twinstar may be in I<watchdog mode>, which means that it will jump +to the remote host if it loses contact with the local host. This can +happen if the machine is powered down or hangs or even if the xpp +drivers are unloaded. Which is why the standard twinstar scripts put the +Astribanks in twinstar mode on startup and remove it on normal shutdown. + +An Astribank will only jump to the other host (either if asked +explicitly or by the watchdog) only if there is a different Astribank +connected to the other port and running. Which is why all of this has no +effect on systems that don't need this functionality. + +The command are: + +=head2 status + +Shows the current status of all Astribanks. Note that it only shows +Astribanks whose current active USB port is the one connected to this +computer. + +Example output: + + DEVICE PORT WATCHDOG POWER0 POWER1 + usb:001/010 0 on yes yes + usb:001/011 0 on yes yes + +For each Astribank on the system that has Twinstar support we get: + +=over 4 + +=item Device + +The address of the device. This is the bus address, e.g. the address you +see in lsusb / dahdi_hardware. + +=item Port + +The active USB port on the Astribank. This should be always '0' on the +master and always 1 on the slave. + +=item Watchdog + +I<on> if the watchdog is triggered in the Atribank or I<off> otherwise. + +=item Power0, Power1 + +Shows which ports of this Astribank are connected to a USB port of a +running computer. This only shows whether or not the USB host provides +power. + +=back + +=head2 ports + +Shows the same 'Port' column of the B<status> command. + +=head2 jump + +Command all the Astribanks to jump to the other port. This works +regardless the watchdog mode is enabled or not. But requires that there +is power on the other port. + +=head2 enable-wd + +Enables watchdog mode. + +=head2 disable-wd + +Disables watchdog mode. + +=head1 FILES + +B<twinstar> mostly uses astribank_tool which in turn mostly uses USB +files under /dev/bus/usb . + |
