382 Table: eKERNEL_SITE
CFG_GarbageCollection
This field specifies the rate of garbage collection (internal use only).
CFG_GarbageCollection refers to the number of seconds when alarms
are considered expired when a <msgrqs> does not receive a <msgrpy>.
This helps establishing internal recovery for non-responding devices and
peripherals. Nortel recommends that you specify 600 for this value.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 600
CFG_Watchdog_com_port_str
This field specifies the usage of an optional watchdog configuration.
The default value is *DISABLED, indicating no watchdog function is
available. If a Watchdog board is installed, you must specify the COM
port here (for authorized, COM03). If a watchdog is operational, the
system signals error conditions using a watchdog board configured on
the specified COM-resource. An attached relay contact can generate an
audible or visible alarm notification to signal the error condition.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: COM03
CFG_Watchdog_interval_n
This field specifies, in combination with CFG_Watchdog_com_port_n, the
behavior of a Watchdog board.
• If *DISABLED was specified, the value must be set to 0.
• If a COM port was specified to activate the card, an interval can be
specified. The value indicates the frequency eKERNEL sends a control
signal to the card.
When eKERNEL fails to send the signal at the specified interval (for
authorized, because of a hardware failure, operating system failure,
eKERNEL failure, eKERNEL stopped, and so on.) the card detects the
error condition and triggers an alarm, if the Watchdog is configured
correctly. A typical value is between 10 and 60 seconds, but must match
the card configuration. Large values can slow down alarm notification,
while very small values unnecessarily consume system resources.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 10
CFG_Watchdog_cmd_str
This field specifies the signal that is sending to the COM port is a 5-byte
packet that includes a checksum: [0x01][0x57][0x84][CFG_Watchdog_c
md_str][checksum].
The default value is 0x21.
