Description
CONFIGALARMS 1 U1 This EC determines the type of alarm message which is
sent following an alarm.
0 – S5F1, 1 – S5F71, 2 – S5F73.
CONFIGCONNECT 2 U1 The EC which determines which message type the
Equipment uses for Connection Request.
0 – S1F1, 1 – S1F65, 2 – S1F13
CONFIGEVENTS 3 U1 The EC which determines the choice of Event Report
message. 0 – S6F9 or S6F3, 1 – S6F11, or S6F13.
CONFIGSPOOL 63 U4 This variable defines the current Spooling State:
0 - Disabled
1 - Enabled
DEVICENAME 29 A[20] This is the name chosen by the Host in its references to
the machine.
ESTABLISHCOMMUNI-
CATIONSTIMER
6 U2 The delay in seconds between each attempt to
reestablish communications.
GEMLIMITSDELAY 60 U2 Determines how often the Equipment checks if variables
are within the defined limits (seconds).
INITCOMMSTATE 8 U1 Indicates weather Host communications should be
enabled in the initial Communications State entered
following Power Up. The two assignable values are:
1 - Enable Host Communications
2 - Disable
INITCONTROLSTATE 9 U1 The initial Control State to be entered following Power
Up. The two values are:
1 - Off-Line
2 - On-Line
HEARTBEAT 10 U2 The time in seconds between each S1F1 “Are You
There” message sent to the Host. These messages are
sent to confirm that the communications link between the
Host and the Equipment is still valid during light
message traffic.
MAXSPOOLTRANSMIT
46 U4 This is the largest number of messages that may be read
from the Spool file during a single read. This limits the
number of messages sent to the Host in response to the
S6F23 message and helps to prevent clogging of the
communications link during a link recovery after a long
communications failure.
