Session Guarding
Session Guarding is applicable for the input programs eAPI and eCAP. Session Guarding
checks to see if there is input on a regular basis. This assumes that the equipment that is
connected to the V.24 interface or eAPI interface sends character strings at regular intervals.
If these strings stop arriving, the eGuarding module times out and generates an alarm.
In the eGuarding configuration, you must specify the following items:
• The input program you expect input from at regular intervals
• The time of day you expect input
• The days in the week you expect input
• The Alarm Group and Alarm Description the alarm must be sent with (if there is a time
out)
• The Expected time interval between inputs
• The Message to be sent in case of an alarm
