eCAPG_Reset_str
This parameter also refers to the optional reset capabilities, and contains the string that must
be found in the starting position eCAP_Reset_start_n with length eCAP_Reset_len_n.
In most cases the reset functionality is not used, and the default value N/A is defined.
An example of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: GENERAL RESET
eCAPG_Remove_after_str
This parameter accepts the value *SENT or *RESET.
In most cases the eCAP generic interfaces is used to capture alarms from an asynchronous
serial line (for example, printer port), and received data contains alarm information. In this
situation, messages are transmitted to eKERNEL immediately upon arrival, and these alarms
are processed within DECT Messenger.
In most environments, the remote peripherals cannot indicate that all pending alarms are reset,
and therefore the eKERNEL handles the alarms. Use this field to configure the
eKERNEL_ALARM table handling of alarm requests, and prevent endless-loop conditions.
Alarms are typically *set with the option remove after sent. The eCAPG_Remove_after_str
must then be set to *SENT.
In some exceptional environments, the attached peripherals are capable of sending a general
reset to clear all pending alarms. This is performed through the eCAPG_Reset_start_n,
eCAPG_Reset_len_n and eCAPG_Reset_str parameters. In such case, alarms must be set
using the remove after *RESET value, indicating all pending alarms remain in the eKERNEL
database unless the reset condition is met.
Due to the scope of the eCAP generic implementation, no granular method of resetting
individual alarms is currently available, and reset functionality must only be activated when the
required prerequisite conditions are met.
An example of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: *RESET
eCAPG_Commentrs_str
Use this field to store comments or remarks pertaining to the configuration record.
An example of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: Serial link to the fire detection
system.
