<strong>CMG</strong>-<strong>DCM</strong> Data Communications Module<br />

1.1 Inside the <strong>DCM</strong><br />

The <strong>DCM</strong>'s configuration is maintained by an internal database. All of<br />

the flexibility of the unit is provided through this configuration<br />

database. Before you deploy the <strong>DCM</strong>, you will need to configure it for<br />

your needs, either using its on-board Web server or over a direct serial<br />

link.<br />

The two main areas which need to be configured determine the<br />

different services which the <strong>DCM</strong> provides from its serial and network<br />

ports.<br />

Serial port services<br />

You can use either the <strong>DCM</strong>'s console or its Web configuration<br />

interface to configure the serial data ports. The serial.x.service<br />

configuration option determines which service each port provides.<br />

• The simplest service is getty. This creates a console port, which<br />

you can use to log in to the Linux operating system of the <strong>DCM</strong><br />

directly.<br />

• The mgetty-r service is similar, but is more suited for serial links<br />

including modems, in which the link is not always active. This<br />

is the default option.<br />

• Any of the serial ports on the <strong>DCM</strong> can be directed to transmit<br />

GCF (<strong>Güralp</strong> Compressed Format) data by setting the service for<br />

that port to gcf_out. You can then run Scream! or other software<br />

on your computer to receive the data. You will not be able to<br />

access the Web configuration interface using this service,<br />

although you may be able to configure attached digitizers from<br />

Scream!.<br />

• Likewise, any serial port can be set to listen for incoming data<br />

(e.g. from a connected digitizer or another <strong>DCM</strong>) by setting the<br />

service to gcf_in. The <strong>DCM</strong> will automatically combine this data<br />

with any other streams it is receiving, and send it on using all<br />

gcf_out ports and any other transmission methods which have<br />

been configured.<br />

• You can log in to the Linux operating system over a modem link<br />

by setting the service to mgetty. mgetty listens for incoming calls<br />

from your computer and sets up a login session for you. You<br />

may need to configure minicom or hypertrm to communicate<br />

with your own modem before you can do this.<br />
