1.8 Configuring connections in the SINAUT Configuration Tool
Software
84 System Manual, 07/2009, C79000-G8976-C222-07
Redundant connections:
With redundant connections, for example those of a redundant ST7cc/ST7sc control center,
the upper connection in the tree structure is the preferred path and the lower connection is
the substitute path. The connection with the preferred path should therefore be applied first.
Connections that are not required can be removed from the list of configured connections at
any time. To do this, select the connection in the
configured connections and
select the
Edit / Delete menu or
select
Delete in the displayed context menu (right mouse button)
Bad connections displayed in the
configured connections window are shown in red and can
result from bad configuration or subsequent changes to a configuration. If there is an
incorrect connection between two nodes, the old and no longer valid connection must be
deleted from the
configured connections and the current connection must be taken from the
list of
possible connections again.
Note
If a connection configured in the network configuration is not included in the list of
possible
connections
because it is invalid, this is displayed in the list of invalid connections . The
invalid connections dialog is described separately and contains information on connections
that do not conform with SINAUT.
Saving the connection configuration
Once any invalid connections have been checked and removed and all required connections
configured so that they appear in the left-hand window, the connection configuration must be
saved with the
SINAUT / Save menu or the Save button in the toolbar. Saving is necessary
to store the connections permanently.
If a message is displayed during saving indicating that a connection between two stations
configured in NetPro could not be found, the connection must be checked in NetPro and
reconfigured.
After saving the connection configuration, open
Subscriber Administration of the SINAUT
Configuration Tool to configure the subscriber data and to generate the system data blocks
there.
Changing the connection configuration
By opening the connection configuration again, you can change the scope of the configured
connections at any time. By changing parameter settings or by reconfiguring, it is possible
that a previously configured connection no longer exists. This then appears in the
Recover
lost connections
list that is described separately.
After changing the connection configuration, this must be saved,
Subscriber Administration
must be called and the generation of the system data blocks started.
1.8.2 Invalid Connections
With its algorithms, connection configuration finds all the possible connections in the current
project. Connections that do not meet certain rules are displayed for the user in the
Invalid
