In this book, a developed and implemented VSAT monitoring system has been illustrated, which consists of a client program that runs on the host PC (Linux Fedora core3), and a server program that runs on the targeted VSAT router, the iDirect 3000 series - with ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) processor. Both programs are Linux applications implemented in C/C++ using GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) and cross compiler. The cross compiler was built in the host to after-testing a compatible combination of glibc (GNU C library), binutils (binary utilities), kernel version and GCC itself. The server...
