Name

show dongle — Displays the status of an attached 3G wireless data access dongle.

SYNOPSIS

show dongle [<string>]

DESCRIPTION

This command will show the current status of 3G dongles attached to the FB2700, either directly connected to the USB port, or connected via one or more USB hubs. See Chapter 13 for details on 3G support in the FB2700.

If no argument is specified, the command will show summary status of all 3G dongles attached. Specific dongles are identified by the "Socket" value, which shows the hierarchy of USB hubs and physical socket used on each until you get to the dongle itself.

The Socket value is a sequence of one or more numbers separated by full stops. The numbers indicate the number of each port along the chain from FB through any hubs to the final device. The USB port on the FB2700 itself is always shown as port 1, so if the dongle is attached directly to the FB2700 the Socket value will just be 1. Otherwise, if, for example, there was a hub connected to the FB2700, and the dongle was connected to USB port 3 on that hub, then it would be 1.3.

Note that a hub's ports are not always numbered from left to right, and indeed, may not even be numbered in any sensible order.

To get more detail on a particular dongle, specify the "Socket" value as the argument to this command.
