412 Module - eKERNEL

• Equipment model

If the client is defined as equipment, the eKERNEL tries to bind this

equipment to the license. Success depends on the availability of a free

license. To verify how many licenses are available on the system, use

the Nortel License Manager. This program gives an overview of bound

licenses. If an equipment model disconnects, its license is unbound

and the total of free equipment licenses is increased. On the other

hand, if an equipment module connects, the total of free equipment

licenses is decreased (and the total of used equipment licenses

increased). A bound equipment model receives a valid configuration

reply. If the equipment model cannot be bound, a status message is

sent as follows:

<pgmsts>NO LICENCE AVAILABLE</pgmsts>.

• Functionality model

If a client is a functionality model, the eKERNEL checks if the given

functionality is available in the license system, and if so, sends a valid

configuration reply. If the requested functionality is not available in the

license, a status message is sent as follows: <pgmsts>NO LICENCE

AVAILABLE</pgmsts>.

When a client (equipment or functionality model) is licensed, eKERNEL

also provides a configuration reply, and the specific eKERNEL tab-page is

updated with a clear key icon. If the license cannot be bound or no correct

functionality is available, the eKERNEL tab-page is not updated, and the

crossed-through key icon remains.

eAPI and eWEB

eAPI and eWEB do not send configuration requests. To ensure that eAPI

and eWEB are licensed properly, eKERNEL checks these two functionality

models individually. If eAPI and eWEB are found in the License system,

the TCP/IP ports for any clients of this kind are opened. If no eAPI or

eWeb functionality is available in the license system, the ports are not

opened and the eAPI or eWeb clients are not able to connect.

License maintenance

Every 24 hours, at midnight, each client that is connected to the eKERNEL

is checked to determine whether the license is still valid. If the Application

license (eKERNEL program) is expired, eKERNEL sends a message to all

of its clients and closes all of its ports, so no client is able to reconnect.

After checking the Application license, equipment and functionality models

are checked for validation.

When installing a new license with more available equipment models

or adding one of the functionality models eWeb or eAPI, the eKERNEL

must explicitly be told about the new license. To tell eKERNEL about a
