How to get diagnostic details from a problematic radio?

Member
edited March 2020 in SmartSDR for Windows
As the title states, I'm looking for a way I can gather diagnostic information from a Flex-6400 that is currently experiencing issues after issuing commands like: create a new slice, or change band. The radio goes into a state where it shows up as connectable to SmartSDR/DAX/SmartSDR CAT, but upon connection SmartSDR will hang for a few seconds before disconnecting again. This loops endlessly until I manually power off/unplug the radio and restart.

I've tried to connect via Telnet when this is happening to get more information, but no luck. At the very least, I may connect via Telnet and leave a connection open until the radio stops working again so at least that way I have a history of whatever it manages to spit out to the console before getting into a bad state again. It's not a solid 100% repro, and seems to have different triggers.

    I would open up a support ticket with flex support to identify your issue. 

    You can gather quite a bit of data by doing a PCAP with wire shark, but access to the core OS and intellectual property under the hood other than API access are not accessible.

    The only issue I'm familiar with that would fit this description would be when you have upgraded to SmartSDR v2.5+ and then have downgraded.  Unfortunately, the database schema changes result in some strange behavior until you perform a reset to factory defaults.  At that point, I would expect things to improve.  Let us know if you need more info and most likely we'll get you going on a trouble ticket.
