eDMSAPI
The eDMSAPI module is both an input and an output module, which can send and receive
normal and urgent LRMS (E2) messages to and from LRMS DECT handsets such as 4060,
C4050, C4040, industrial handset. The Windows 2000 CSTA service must be running for the
eDMSAPI module to function. The CSTA service supports simultaneous connections to one
or more DMC units for eDMSAPI. If the DECT handsets are in more than one unit, you can
use an eDMSAPI module on one PC, or you can install eDMSAPI modules on other PCs as
well.
The External Application Interface (EAI) – used for LRMS messaging with the web or external
applications – supports normal, urgent and emergency messages. In previous releases the
SNDEMSG was not available.
The EAI also supports LRMS messages up to 160 characters in length when messaging with
SIP DECT. The EAI only supports LRMS messages up to 48 characters in length when
messaging with the DECT Messenger CPU.
eIO
The eIO module is an input and output module that requires specific additional hardware from
National Instruments. If no COM port in the PC is available, a multi-IO board is required. The
additional hardware uses an RS-232 connection. The eIO module connects external hardware
to the Avaya DECT Messenger. Use either digital or analogue input devices for alarm
generation. These devices connect to the National Instruments panel. The panel informs the
eIO module of the presence of DECT Messenger. Switches, motion detectors, or fire detectors
are used as input devices. Voltage or current levels are used as analogue input devices. An
alarm is activated based on the level of the voltage/current. You also use the National
Instruments panel to switch external hardware on or off when the output component of the eIO
module is being used. More information on the National Instruments panel can be found on
the National Instruments web site (www.ni.com).
eSMTP
The eSMTP module is an output module. Use it to send e-mail alarm messages to a specific
e-mail address. To send e-mails, you must enter the IP address of an SMTP-protocol e-mail
server on the network. An e-mail message is sent to one e-mail address only. No option exists
to send the same message to multiple e-mail addresses simultaneously, although you can
send the same message more than once to different e-mail addresses. The subject of the
message is alarm message, and the body is the alarm message. An SMTP mail server is not
included in the eSMTP module because eSMTP behaves as an e-mail client sending e-mail
messages.
