Verifying the Operating Mode of the Dialogic® Blue™ Telephony Boards

Dialogic Blue Telephony Boards can be started in kernel or user mode. Normally, they are started in kernel mode. If the kernel mode fails, they are started in user mode. To verify the mode of your Telephony Board, use one of the following tools:

Web interface

To verify in which mode your Telephony Board is running, either:

  1. Click System control (driver start/stop) on the left hand side of the web interface.  

  2. The Last operation log shows you in which mode the driver was started.

or:

  1. Click Board monitor on the left hand side of the web interface.

  2. Click the management interface icon of the M-Board, to which the Telephony Board belongs.

  3. Go to Status\XDI\A1\UserMode.

    • A value of 0 indicates that the board is running in kernel mode.

    • A value of 1 indicates that it is running in user mode.

mantool command line utility

When using the mantool, the following message shows you whether the board was loaded in user mode:

--------bol-[Status\XDI\A1\UserMode .....] = TRUE

If the board was loaded in kernel mode, the following message appears:

--------bol-[Status\XDI\A1\UserMode .....] = FALSE

See Management Interface Access and Monitoring Utility for more information on the mantool.

Third party tool

You may also check the modus with tools like telnet or putty.

To see whether the board is stared in kernel mode, enter:

# lsmod | grep DivasL

To see whether the board is running in user mode enter:

# ps | grep DivasL
