       astribank_tool - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) control tool

SYNOPSIS

       astribank_tool [ options ] [ operation... ] -D device-path

       astribank_tool [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       astribank_tool is a tool to control the USB-level functionality of an Astribank.  The tool
       operates on a single Astribank at a time (given  as  parameter  to  the  -D  command  line
       option).

OPTIONS

       -D device-path
              Required.  The  device  to  read  from/write  to. This is bus_num/device_num, where
              bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers  in  the  output  of  lsusb(8)  or
              dahdi_hardware(8).   On  older  versions of this tool you needed a complete path to
              the    device,    which    would     be     /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num,     or
              /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.

       -p num
              Set the TwinStar port number. Either 0 or 1.

              (TODO: explain).

       -r type
              Reset the Astribank and renumerate its USB connection to power on product ID.

              Tyep can be: half or full.

              (TODO: explain those).

       -w 0|1
              Enable  (1)  or disable (0) the TwinStar watchdog. When enabled, the Astribank will
              jump to the second port if this system is "not  working"  and  the  system  on  the
              second port is available.

       -Q
              Query astribank properties via MPP protocol.

       -n
              Renumerate the Astribank product number (e.g: from 1161 to 1162).

       -v
              Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.

       -d mask
              Set debug mask to mask. Default is 0, 0xFF is "everything".

       -h
              Displays usage message.
