dectmgr

Provides an interface for automated backups of Ascom DECT infrastructure devices (IPBL/IPBS/IPBS2)

Dashboard lists all backups available for every device ever seen

A click on an item provides with all the backups from this device as well as a simple diff mechanism

Installation

stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

script
        cd /path/to/dectmgr
        ./dectmgr >> /var/log/dectmgr.log
end script

Config

The configuration is based on a simple config file (config.json)

{
	"ConfigBackupURL"	:	"http://YourIP:8080/backup/#h.txt",
	"ListenPort"		:	8080,
	"BackupDestination"	:	"backups/",
	"MaxNoBackups"		:	5,
	"Loglevel"			:	"INFO"
}

Option name	Description
ConfigBackupURL	An URL to the host running this tool. This value should have /backup/#h.txt postfixed to it. This address should be reachable by the antennas (keep an eye on the firewall rules).
ListenPort	Defines the port this tool should listen to. The port should correspond with the port specified in ConfigBackupURL.
BackupDestination	This is a relative folder path in which the backup data should be stored. The folder is created for you if it doesn't exist as soon as the first antenna is backupped.
MaxNoBackups	Older backups are deleted as soon as a newer arrives. This number specifies how many backup versions to keep.
Loglevel	Specifies the log level and is one of the following strings: "CRITICAL", "ERROR", "WARNING", "NOTICE", "INFO", "DEBUG".

Configuration of Ascom devices

Manual approach

Enter the destination URL as shown below directly in the web administration interface of your Ascom DECT infrastructure.

• In older software releases, the option shows up in : General -> Update
• In newer software releases, the option shows up in : Services -> Update

Don't forget to specify an Interval.

DHCP option

For both options, you can specify DHCP options:

Option code	Sub-option code	Name	Description
60	215	updateurl	Specifies the update URL of your dectmgr. Don't forget to specify the port if it's different from 80.
60	216	updatepollinterval	Specifies the interval in minutes at which the antenna contacts dectmgr
