Confirm Applying configuration

Choose one of the following:

• If you answer No, the changes you made are stored online on the

hard disk, and the can resume the configuration process later. Note

that maintenance of groups, devices, and users are always applied

immediately, and are not part of this resume procedure.

• If you answer Yes, the apply process is initiated. Follow the steps

discussed in “Applying a new configuration” (page 219).

Applying a new conﬁguration

Before you can apply the new configuration, you must free all locks to the

current database. This means the DECT Messenger environment must

be stopped, so eKERNEL and all associated modules must be stopped.

Before stopping eKERNEL, take into consideration that all pending alarms

are cleared at restart. Also, while eKERNEL and associated modules are

down, no input and output is performed, and alarm input and distribution is

suspended. Thus, an apply procedure requires careful planning.

•

When eTM is not operational, you can close down every application

manually. All modules, including eKERNEL, can usually be stopped by

clicking the close control box in the right top of each window. Note that

any program that has locks Messenger_CFG.MDB must be closed,
