DAC Program Queue Monitoring Setup
Last Updated: July 07, 2026
NOTE: This procedure is only relevant for DAC.SW firmware.
  1. Go directly to step 4 for DAC 3.x.
  2. Open the sdm user command line window.
  3. From the SDM scripts directory execute the script dac_config <DAC_IP_ADDRESS>. This will cause the program queue monitoring software to be downloaded to the DAC 6000.
  4. Telnet to the DAC 6000 and execute the script sdm_config.
  5. From the sdm_config menu, select Enable to activate the program queue report software.
  6. The DAC 6000 device can now be discovered from the SDM.
    NOTE: If the host name does not show up when the DAC 6000 is discovered, the host name entry is incorrect and needs to be corrected for the queue monitoring feature to work.

    In some versions of DAC 3.x, the file that the SDM polls (sdm_report.xml) is created in the guest directory.

    In this case, you should create a soft link on the DAC 6000 to the actual file in the directory that the SDM expects the file to be in. For example:

    ln -s /home/guest/sdm_report.xml /home/acc4000d/sdm_report.xml
