Figure 10.3. ACP127 Circuit Monitor View (Message Queue) Tab
The Msg Queue Tab has the following buttons:
• If a user selects the Refresh the messages are reread from the ACP127 channel.
• The Refresh Every checkbox can be checked to generate periodic refreshes at regular
intervals.
• If a user selects the Reset Columns the layout of the columns is recalculated in order
to present more clearly.
• The Use Filter checkbox can be checked to filter messages according to a predefined
filter.
• Selecting the Filter.. button allows a user to configure a filter which restricts the set of
messages displayed.
Selecting a message within the queue will display the message. It also allows a user to see
the message content and perform actions on the message.
Depending on the nature of the channel and the status of the message different buttons
appear and are selectable or greyed out as appropriate.
For a circuit that is in the manual mode the following options are available:
• If a user selects the Delete button, then the currently selected message will be deleted
if it hasn't yet started to be transmitted. If it has started, then the MTA will be told to
abort (cancel) transferring the message before deleting the message.
• If a user selects the Send button, the message will be transmitted.
• If a user selects the Abort button, the transfer of the message will be aborted (cancelled
in ACP127 terms).
• If a user selects the Transferred button, the message will be regarded as having been
sent successfully and will be deleted from the MTA's queues.
• If a message is large enough, and Message Segmentation is enabled in the configuration
of the circuit, it will be segmented when the initial attempt to transmit a message takes
place, i.e. when the Send button is pressed when the message is selected.
Should this happen, the first segment will immediately begin to transmit. All the segments
of the message will now appear as subsidiary items in the queue. The operator must use
the Send button for each other segment in order to send it. The status will change from
