DECT Messenger overview 63

The eKERNEL is the core software in the system and must always

be present. eKERNEL is between the incoming and the outgoing

modules and must always be running. The system does not operate if

eKERNEL is absent or non-functional.

Configuration modules

There are two configuration modules:

•

eGRID

The eGRID module is used to make inquiries and to edit the

configuration database. The configuration database (an MS Access

database) stores all the configuration data.

•

eCONFIG

The eCONFIG module is used to set up and configure the system,

messages, and message flows. The eCONFIG is a user-friendly

variant of the eGRID, and can be used either on the DECT Messenger

PC, or on a remote PC.

Incoming and outgoing modules

There are nine modules (incoming and outgoing) that communicate with

the eKERNEL module. Incoming modules receive messages, and outgoing

modules send messages. Table 7 "Incoming and outgoing modules" (page

63) provides an overview of the modules.
