98 DECT Messenger Customer Engineer Manual

After you start the eCONFIG for the first time on the remote PC, a

copy is made of the configuration database of DECT Messenger

(Messenger_CFG.MDB). This copy is stored on the remote PC where

the eCONFIG is running, in the eCONFIG directory: C:\SOPHO

Messenger@net\eConfig\Mdb with the file name: Messenger_WRK.cfg.

You cannot make system configuration changes in this database, only

changes in:

•

Users

•

Groups

•

Devices

After you make changes in Users, Groups or Devices, these changes

are stored in the eCONFIG database (Messenger_WRK.cfg) and in

the operational database (Messenger_CFG.mdb), and are therefore

immediately active. Saving this information into the operational database is

done by sending an XML string from the eCONFIG to the eKERNEL. The

eKERNEL stores this information into the operational database.

Note: If more than one eCONFIG is active at the same time on

different PCs, the individual eCONFIG databases are not updated

or synchronized after changes are made in one eCONFIG. Only the

operational database, and the database in the eCONFIG module where

the change is made, are updated. Changes made in Groups using the

eWEB interface are not written into the databases of the eCONFIG

modules. These changes are only written into the operational database,

not into the eCONFIG databases.

• Starting up the eCONFIG again

After you start the program again, eCONFIG finds a database in its

directory. eCONFIG asks you whether you want to continue with this

database or retrieve a fresh copy from the operational database. Nortel

recommends that you make a fresh copy of the operational database,

because then you are sure there is no database inconsistency.

Using eTM

The eTM is the Task Manager in DECT Messenger. The eTM opens in the

Windows system tray, and monitors the modules of DECT Messenger. If a

module shuts down, eTM restarts it.

eTM searches for the following key in the system registry to find out which

modules to start, and which PC to start them on:

(HKEY_Current_User/Software/Philips/c:\SOPHO Messenger@net/eTM).
