eCAPG_Reset_start_n
This value, together with eCAPG_Reset_len_n and eCAPG_Reset_str, refers to the optional
reset functionality that can be deployed in the eCAP generic module.
In most cases, a eCAP generic is implemented in environments, where alarms are detected
through an asynchronous serial interface, such as a printer port.
The eCAP generic is targeted to environments, where each alarm indication results in sending
an alarm request to the eKERNEL interface. Due to the nature of such requests, and the scope
of the current eCAP implementation, these alarms results in setting an alarm, a so-called
<msgrqs>-transaction that contains a *set request. In most cases you define these alarm types
in eKERNEL_ALARM table as alarms that are removed after *sent. Therefore, the parameter
eCAPG_Remove_after_str is, in most cases, set to *set.
In such environments, the default value 0 must be used for both the fields
eCAPG_Reset_start_n and eCAPG_Reset_len_n, and the default value N/A must be used for
the parameter eCAPG_Reset_str.
In some environments, all alarms must remain active in eKERNEL, unless a specific reset
signal is encountered. This reset indication typically indicates a complete reset of all alarms of
this interface (for example, resetting a fire detection infrastructure after some warning
alarms).
In this case, the field eCAPG_Reset_start_n must be set to the start position of the reset
character pattern.
An example of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 35
eCAPG_Reset_len_n
This parameter is related to the eCAPG_Reset_start_n parameter. If the reset functionality is
not used, both parameters are set to 0.
If an eCAPG_Reset_start_n value is specified (for example, 35), the parameter
eCAPG_Reset_len_n and eCAPG_Reset_str are to be defined.
The eCAPG_Reset_len_n indicates the length of the string that must be compared to activate
a reset condition. If, for example, the text GENERAL RESET must be encountered in position
35, then eCAP_Reset_len_n must be set to 13 (the length of the string) and eCAP_Reset_str
must be set to the text GENERAL RESET
An example of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 13
