EvoLogics AMA

Acoustic Modem Functional Testing Utility

Software

Acoustic Devices - Service Tools

Terminal software with a text-based interface is required to connect and interact with the system firmware of EvoLogics acoustic devices. It allows executing commands, adjusting system settings, running scripts and custom applications.

Recommended Tools

We recommend using EvoLogics PuTTY - our customized and thoroughly tested version of the popular PuTTY terminal emulator. For connections over Ethernet, netcat is also a suitable option.

EvoLogics PuTTY for Windows

PuTTY is a free, open-source terminal emulator for Windows that supports protocols such as SSH and serial connections. The EvoLogics patch of PuTTY adds additional functionality specifically for use with our devices:

Custom End-of-Line (EOL) settings for raw TCP connections

Easily switch between Line Feed (LF, \n), Carriage Return (CR, \r), and Carriage Return + Line Feed (CRLF, \r\n) for proper TCP communication with our modems over Ethernet interface

File transfer over serial port using ZMODEM

Upload and download files over the serial interface - a key feature for modems with a firmware sandbox.

Important: Only the EvoLogics-modified version of PuTTY allows selecting the correct EOL marker for Ethernet connections to our acoustic devices.

netcat for Windows

Netcat (often abbreviated as nc) is a lightweight, simple and versatile command-line networking utility for reading and writing data over TCP or UDP connections.

While several popular implementations of Netcat exist for Unix and Linux systems, a reliable version is also available for Windows. We recommend using the version linked below for connecting to our acoustic devices over the Ethernet interface.
