3.2.2 COMMON EVENT PARAMETERS
The events are controlled with a number of common parameters including: action, X25
destination address, UDP/IP address and port, acknowledge required flag, maximum number of
buffered alarms, retry timeout, maximum retries, acknowledge required, buffer alarm flag,
connection hold time, and message wait time.
Action
is set to the desired protocol to use to send the message, NONE, X25, X25 fast select, or
UDP. If the action is set to NONE this event is disabled.
X25 destination address
is the address used if the action is set to X25 or X25 fast select.
UDP/IP destination address
is the IP address used if the action is set to UDP. See also UDP/IP
destination port.
UDP/IP destination port
is the UDP port number used if the action is set to UDP.
Acknowledge required flag
is set to TRUE if the alarm must be acknowledged by the host
application before being deleted from the queue.
Maximum number of buffered alarms
specifies how many events can be queued for transmission
before events are dropped. A counter is increment when events are dropped.
Retry timeout
specifies the time between retries of the message when the message transmit fails
or no acknowledge is received. The retry delay is randomly distributed over the minimum retry
time of retry interval, and the maximum retry time of retry timeout * 2 ^retry count.
If
buffer alarm flag
is FALSE
maximum retries
specifies the number of transmission retries
before the alarm is discarded. If the
buffer alarm flag
is TRUE,
maximum retries
specifies the
number of retries for this set of transmission attempts. The alarm will attempt another set of
transmissions when another enabled alarm event occurs or a schedule wakeup event occurs.
Connection hold time
is the time to maintain the connection after the alarm has been sent. A hold
time of zero implies an immediate disconnect after the alarm has been sent.
Message wait time
is the time to keep the transceiver powered on after the hold time expires.
Maximum retries
functionality depends on the buffer alarm flag.
Maximum retries
of zero is no
retries.
3.2.3 PARAMETERS CONFIGURED PER ALARM
The following parameters are configured on a event by event basis:
action, enable, send event
clear flag
and other parameters specific to the event.
Enable flag
is set to TRUE if the event message is to be sent to the host.
Send event clear flag
is set to TRUE if the transition from active to inactive caused a clear event
message to be sent.
