Troubleshooting: General Check of a Site Controller File
To check the validity of a particular file in the Flash Filing System of the Site Controller, it is
necessary to use both the ls command and the attrib command as follows.
This example looks at the configuration file of the Site Controller.
1.
2.

Using the ls command first ensures that the information shared between ls and attrib is synchronised.
Use the ls command to produce a listing of all files on the Site Controller. There is no wildcard
option with ls. Check the files of interest that do not have any warning after their details. This
shows only a small part of the typical output.
reg.dat.bk1 0 - not set- 000000 00000000 (bad header)
tsc.cf.1.bk1 11635 - not set- 000000 2dbb8018
tsc.cf.2.bk1 0 - not set- 000000 00000000 (bad header)
In this example tsc.cf.1 looks like a valid file, whilst tsc.cf.2 has a bad header warning
so it can't be valid. The '.bk1' indicates that the file is back-up copy 1.
Use command attrib tsc.cf* to produce a listing of the configuration files attributes of the Site
Controller.
SC: attrib tsc.cf*
ATTRIB NAME VERSION DATE
----------------------------------------------------
----r- tsc.cf pr3swdl 20/02/2003_18:39:33
cn--r- tsc.cf.1 pr3swdl 20/02/2003_18:39:33
---w-a tsc.cf.2 - -
Note which file has the 'c' (Current) attribute and ensure that:
◦
It also has the 'r' (read) attribute. If the file has the w (write) attribute, it is not valid.
◦ Also check the generic file title ('tsc.cf' in this case) shares the
same version and date information.
If there is no valid file then this should be downloaded to the Site Controller again, using
either Dimetra BTS Service Software or Software Download (SWDL.)
