ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL
2.25 update
Synchronize the local and remote networks
Syntax
update [iface] now
update [iface] init [{on | off}]
update [iface] periodic [[+] time1 [time2 [time3 [time4]]]]
update [iface] timeout [mins]
Description
The update command forces a periodic connection to the site at the other end of the specified iface. This
allows IPX protocol tables, like the routing (RIP) and Service (SAP) tables, to be exchanged between the
two sites. After the timeout time mins, the line disconnects. The default is not to periodically connect at all.
For all subcommands, if the iface parameter is not specified, all WAN interfaces are updated. To
configure Router to automatically update all WAN ports when the system starts, use the update iface init
on command. To disable this feature, use the update iface init off command.
Subcommands and parameters
iface Interfaces:
• modem0-4 - one of 5 possible modems
• sync0 - the synchronous port
update [iface] now
To immediately connect the two sites, use update now. This command is normally given after the Router is
first installed, to synchronize the local and remote sites. For example, enter update modem0 now.
update [iface] init [{on | off}]
Each time the Router starts, it attempts to connect the two sites at each end of its defined interfaces by
automatically issuing the update init subcommand. To configure Router to automatically update all WAN
ports when the system starts, use the update iface init on command. To disable this feature, use the update
iface init off command.
on—Configures Router to automatically update all WAN ports when the system starts. This is the
default setting.
off—Disable the update of all WAN ports when the Router starts.
update [iface] periodic [[+] time1 [time2 [time3 [time4]]]]
To periodically connect to a remote site at a fixed time interval, use the update periodic subcommand with
the +time1 parameter defined, indicating the time interval. For example, to connect to the remote site
on modem0 every four hours, enter update modem0 periodic +0400. The Router then connects to the remote
site every four hours after this command is issued. To remove this interval, use a time1 of 0.
To connect to the remote site at specific times during the day, specify the exact times to connect, in 24-
hour format (hhmm). Up to four times may be specified. For example, to connect to the remote site on
modem0 at 4 a.m., 12 p.m., 4 p.m., and 8 p.m., enter update modem0 periodic 0400 1200 1600 2000.
