Table 11-3. Command Facility Configuration (continued)
Option Default Description
8. Output Periodic Local Remote Node. Periodic reports are output to a remote node. If remote
Report Command node is selected, the node ID must be named in option 9. If no remote
(continued) Port node is named in option 9, the reports will be sent to the Local Command
Port. The remote node will deliver the periodic reports to the output
location selected in its Command Facility Parameters menu. If both the
local and remote Multiservers are configured to send periodic reports to a
remote node, the local node’s messages will be lost.
There is a three-minute timeout on the remote node. If this report cannot
be sent to the device within that three minutes (link down), the periodic
report will be lost.
9. Remote Node ID None If option 7 and/or 8 define the output report location as the remote node,
the remote node ID is defined here. Only one node ID can be selected if
both 7 and 8 request a remote node (example: 7 cannot go to Node_A
while 8 goes to Node_B). If both options are configured to a local output,
there is no need to configure a remote node ID.
When this option is selected, the following prompt displays:
ENTER REMOTE NODE-ID (^X TO ABORT):
Enter the node ID of the remote node. Press <cr>. Press ^X to cancel
and return to the Command Facility Main Menu. (You cannot use
N to
access the next menu.)
10. External Modem High If the External Modem option (option 4 of the Output Event/Alarm Reports
Priority Menu) is selected, this option defines whether alarms or events will be
immediately output or buffered and output when the queue is almost filled.
Selecting High invokes a dial sequence on all alarms and events. When
Low is chosen, the alarms and events will be buffered until 70% of the
message queue is filled. When this occurs, the dial sequence is invoked.
11. External Modem None If the External Modem option (option 4 of the Output Event/Alarm Reports
Phone # Menu) is selected, this option defines the telephone number the dialout
modem will use.
When this option is selected, the following prompt displays:
ENTER EXTERNAL MODEM PHONE # (^X TO ABORT):
