13.2.2 Viewing Files

RuggedCom devices maintain a number of volatile and nonvolatile files. These files can aid in the resolution of problems and serve as a useful gauge of the device’s health.

Listing files

Enter “dir<CR>” to obtain a complete list of files and a description of each.

Note: Each file has associated attributes, as described under the Attr column in “dir” command. Files marked “R” are readable, i.e. may be uploaded by the user. Files marked “W” are writable, i.e. may be modified (downloaded) by the user. Files marked “B” are binary files, i.e. may be upgraded by the user.

The most useful files include config.csv, crashlog.txt and syslog.txt. These files may be viewed by using the “type” command, specifying the desired filename.
