eTM

The eTM is a background module that automatically detects when

another DECT Messenger module is down and restarts it.

eCONFIG basic concepts

The system configuration is stored in a database. You use the eCONFIG

module to make changes to the configuration. This section explains how

the eCONFIG module uses the database.

You can use the eCONFIG on the local DECT Messenger server PC. You

can also install the eCONFIG on a remote PC to do remote configuration

maintenance. Database handling is different for local and remote

situations.

eCONFIG (local) on the DECT Messenger server PC

After the eCONFIG is installed on the DECT Messenger server PC,

the database is handled as shown in “eCONFIG (local) on the DECT

Messenger server PC” (page 14).

Figure 2

Database handling after eCONFIG is on local PC

After you open the eCONFIG for the first time, the eCONFIG makes a

copy of the operational configuration database in DECT Messenger. This

copy is stored in the eCONFIG. If you make configuration changes using

the eCONFIG, these changes are stored in the copy of the database in the

eCONFIG. To make these changes active, you must close down all the

DECT Messenger modules and then close the eCONFIG using the File >

Exit menu. The operational database is deleted automatically, and the

database from the eCONFIG is saved into the DECT Messenger directory

and becomes the new operational database. After you restart the modules

that you closed down, the new configuration becomes active.
