Understanding Security features

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

installed in the PC as an internal device. For DECT Messenger the Internal

Serial PC Watchdog from Berkshire Products is supported. Figure 38
