414 Module - eKERNEL

External interfaces

There are a number of external interfaces that you can attach to the

eKERNEL. These interfaces can act as input source, output source, or

play both roles.

An eKERNEL without any external models is unable to perform work. A

minimum configuration requires at least one input source (for example,

eCAP for capturing a TELEVIC PROTOCOL CONVERTOR signalling

system), and one output source (for example, eDMSAPI for sending

E2-data messages to cordless DECT handsets).

You can attach additional input sources to the product. For example,

eCAP for other signalling systems, eIO for unpowered contact detection,

eSMTP for receiving MAIL, and eWEB for receiving messages from the

Internet.

You can attach additional output sources to the product. For example,

eSMTP for sending electronic mail, eASYNC for sending short messages

to GSM and Pagers, eCSTA for sending voice call based user-to-user

messages, eVBVOICE for handling outgoing voice calls.

Note: In release 4.0, the maximum amount of modules has been

increased from 21 to 30.

Database

The eKERNEL application is the only application that communicates

directly with the databases. Every external application receives its

configuration from eKERNEL.

There are two databases. One is named Messenger_CFG.mdb, and

another is named Messenger_data.mdb. Both databases are in Microsoft

Access 2000 format, and are processed through applications written in

Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 (Visual Basic and C++).

In release 4.0, the Messenger_DATA database can also reside on SQL

Server 2005 Express, SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE), or an

external SQL 2000 or 2005 server.

The Messenger_CFG.mdb contains several tables, and defines the

configuration of the DECT Messenger software. These tables determine

the behavior of the product.

The Messenger_data.mdb contains several tables, and are an internal

work space of DECT Messenger. Some models, such as eKERNEL,

access this database heavily. Nortel recommends that you avoid using the

data database, except for problem determination and recovery services.
