Configuring the T1 Network
5-32 Access Manager 2000 User Manual
To set the amount of time between attempts, go to the Retry
Interval field, and type in a time period in one of the following
formats:
• 1 to 59 SEC
• 1 to 59 MIN
• 1 to 24 HR
If you forget to put a space between the number and the time unit, a space
will be added automatically when you press
to accept the
configuration parameters.
You can specify different retry intervals for each alarm path. The default
value is
1 MIN for each path.
Access Manager will always attempt immediate delivery along an SEND
alarm path. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
■
If both your alarm paths are designated SEND , the reality is that
delivery is sequential. The node will alternate which Access
Manager it tries to contact if both lines are busy. Also, in this case,
the
Retry Interval must be set to the same value.
■
If your alarm paths are designated SEND and BACKU , respectively,
the node will retry the SEND alarm path until the number of
specified attempts is exhausted. Only then will it use the BACKUP
alarm path.
Saving the alarm path parameters
Once you’ve set the parameters for each alarm path, press . This
does some error checking to see if the parameters you’ve selected are
acceptable to the system. If you’ve made a mistake, your screen will
display an error message. Take the corrective action indicated, and try
again.
Once this acceptance test is successful, you’ll be returned to the
uncovered Node Definition screen. At that point, press
to download
the configuration to the database.
