TTY Nonvolatile Setups
3–3
number of the code that was last saved in the nonvolatile RAM is also shown. This is an
improvement over having to check the date of the code to determine which minor release was
running.
Note that the RVP8 does not actually begin using the current settings until after the “Q”
command is entered, so that the processor exits the TTY setup mode and returns to normal
operation.
3.1.2 V — View Card and System Status
The “V” command displays internal diagnostics. This information is for inspection only, and
can not be changed from the TTY. The view listing begins with the banner:
Configuration and Internal Status
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––
and then prints the following lines:
RVP8 Digital IF Signal Processor V3.10(Pol) IRIS–8.04
This line shows the revision level of the RVP8 software, the IRIS version.
Settings were last saved using V3.10
This line tells which version of RVP8 code was the last to write into the non-volatile
RAM. It is printed only if that last version was different from the version that is
currently running. The information is included so that a “smart upgrade” can often
be done, i.e., values that did not exist in the prior release can be filled in with a guess
that is better than merely taking the factory default.
RVP8 started at: 13:07:33 3 NOV 2003
Current time is: 13:14:03 3 NOV 2003
These lines provide information about when the RVP8 was started, the current system
time, and implicitly, the uptime.
CPU–Type: Pentium(R) III
This line displays processor information.
IPP–Library: ippsa6 v2.0 gold SP1 2.0.6.39
This line displays information about the Intel libraries used for RVP8 processing.
Physical hardware inventory:

The physical hardware inventory provides information about the system hardware
being used by the RVP8. This list ONLY displays hardware that is being used, not all
hardware in the system (i.e., an RCP8 could be present in the same chasis, but the
RCP8 hardware would not be included in this list).
