5.5.11 GET POST
This command can be used to determine the current time interval (in minutes and
seconds) that NOC–NEM is using for
POST MESSAGE displays. The query can
be made for a specific network element or for all network elements. Once per the
time interval specified, NOC–NEM queries the network element to obtain its
current status information and then displays the information unsolicited on the
NOC-NEM screen. The information includes all parameter values and all alarm
states for the queried network element.
To determine the current posting time interval
1. Enter a command in the following format
DEMS Site_Name GET POST
(or)
DEMS Node_Number GET POST
where Site_Name is the site name of the network element, Node_Number
is the Host Node or Remote Node value (as displayed in the Maintenance
interface View Catalog window). Use
Site_Name = ALL to get all network
elements at the same time.
2. Look for a response like this
1130 23-Mar-01 DEMS(37 Host.15)SteeleCenter GET POST 15:00 \
15:00
END
where 15:00 in the second line indicates that the current posting time inter-
val is 15 minutes and zero seconds.
Examples
DEMS WasecaPrison GET POST
DEMS ALL GET POST
5.5.12 SET POST

screen.
