The logs are retrieved in reverse chronological order. The most recent item will always be 0. Older
items have a higher number and indicate a older events. The command will show 20 logged items and
then pause asking for a key to continue or "Q" to quit.
To clear the log history issue the "clear logs" command as shown below. Answer "y" to the "clear entire
log" prompt:
>clear log
Clear entire log? (y/n)
Clearing log...Done.
Snapshots and System Recovery
TransNEXT provides a means to take a "snapshot" copy of the current configuration database image (see
) for later restoration. This can be handy to roll back the unit's settings to a previous known
cfg show
good configuration. Note that restoring the unit to the snapshot will overwrite the current configuration,
and that it cannot be undone.
To save a snapshot:
>cfg snapshot
OK
To restore a previous snapshot as the current configuration:
>cfg restore
OK
3.5 Firmware Reprogramming
NOTE
Information on reprogramming in this section is limited to reprogramming of device/radio
application firmware. Bootloader firmware updates are not considered.
TransNEXT provides for two saved firmware images. The purpose is to ensure that there is always one
good image to run. One image is reserved as the active image, and the other is the inactive image.
Firmware reprogramming always applies to the inactive image. With this method if there is a problem,
the active image is preserved.
GE MDS provides signed TransNEXT firmware as proprietary .MPK files posted on our website. The
CLI and Web Interface both offer facilities for local reprogramming of the saved firmware images. MPK
files can be loaded directly by the Web UI. For Web reprogramming see page 32. The sections below
focus on reprogramming using the CLI.
Local Device Reprogramming
For the CLI a terminal emulator supporting YMODEM is required. Tera Term is as simple free terminal
emulator that supports YMODEM. Tera Term is convenient because it will reestablish a USB/Serial
connection following TransNEXT device reboot. Other terminal emulators may be used, but examples in
the section are based on Tera Term.
