2129.0. "Announcing the PABX AM (Ericsson MD110) IFT release !" by HLRG02::GOES () Fri Jan 17 1992 05:10

Hi,

We are proud to announce the DECmcc PABX AM for managing the Ericsson
MD110 PABX (Ericsson ASB 501 01).

Today this Access Module will be released for internal field test.

A short description of the PABX AM:

This first version of the PABX AM covers the management of the alarm
part of the PABX management. In future releases other parts of the
PABX management will be added to the functionality of the PABX AM.

This first version, however, shows the following functionality:

- Management of the alarm boards of the PABX
- Management of the alarm inputs of the alarm boards
      -> showing and setting the function of the alarm inputs
- Management of the alarm outputs of the alarm boards
      -> showing and setting the function of the alarm outputs
- Management of the error code to alarm class mapping (in which alarm
  class will an alarm be placed on occurance of a particular error)
      -> showing and setting the mapping
- Management of the alarm classes of the PABX
      -> showing the alarms that are present in an alarm class
- Management of the alarms of the PABX
      -> showing the status and description of an alarm and
         deleting an alarm

The kit and an user guide (in postscript format) are available
on the network at:

             hlmcc1::dua0:[hltn.pabx_am]

2129.1Congratulations.TAVIS::PERETZSat Jan 18 1992 06:2710
Congratulations,

These are great news for the telecom oriented folks.

Unfortunately we do not have Erricson PABXs around here, but we have plenty of 
SL-1s by NT.

Is anybody doing any work on AM for SL-1?

2129.2Upgrade PABX AM 1.0.0 to 1.1.0HLRG02::GOESThu Jan 30 1992 11:1074
We have finished the work on the installation kit for the IFT1.0.0 release
of the PABX AM.

The kit is now available from the public directory:

      hlmcc1::dua0:[hltn.pabx_am]mcc_pabx_am_t011.a;1

The user guide (updated to accomodate the new version of the PABX AM) is now
also available from this public directory:

      hlmcc1::dua0:[hltn.pabx_am]mcc_pabx_am_t011_use.ps;1

This release requires DECmcc V1.1 for VMS.

For questions about the installation refer to the DECmcc Installation Manual
Chapter 5 'Installing and Verifying Independent DECmcc Management Module
Software' (note that you can skip pages 5-12 and 5-13 - the PABX AM doesn't
need a license to be registered).

Please if you want to participate in the Internal Field Test, or you are in need
of more information, make use of the dedicated notes file (see also .0):

     Hoo78c::private6:[turhan.notes]mcc_pabx

Changes compared to the previous version (T1.0.0 <-> T1.1.0).

o The version is changed to T1.1.0 to make the version scheme of the PABX AM
  identical to the version scheme of DECmcc. The PABX AM T1.1.x are intended for
  DECmcc v1.1 and the future (...) PABX AM T1.2.x are intended for DECmcc v1.2.

o The entity structure (subentity tree) is changed from:
  the format in T1.0.0:
				PABX
				  |
			     ALARM_BOARD
				  |
             -----------------------------------------------
             |              |               |              |	
	ALARM_INPUT    ALARM_OUTPUT    ALARM_GROUP    ALARM_CLASS
                                            |              |
					ERROR_CODE       ALARM

  to the format in T1.1.0:
				PABX
				  |
			    PABX_ALARMING
				  |
	             -----------------------------------------
		     |                         |             |
		ALARM_BOARD               ALARM_GROUP   ALARM_CLASS
                     |			       |             |
	      ---------------		       |             |
	      |             |                  |             |
	 ALARM_INPUT   ALARM_OUTPUT        ERROR_CODE      ALARM

  with PABX_ALARMING being dummy entity that defines a scope of management and
  with ALARM_BOARD having the functionality of the removed PABX_ALARM entity.
  The reason for this change was that the ALARM_GROUP entity and the ALARM_CLASS
  entity were independent of the ALARM_BOARD. See also note 5.0.

o The Parallel Access problem of T1.0.0 is solved. The PABX AM now includes a
  locking mechanism that locks the terminal server port for exclusive use and 
  queues the directives that occur simultaneously.

o The CTRL-Y problem of T1.0.0 is solved. The PABX can still remain logged on
  when you leave DECmcc by hitting CTRL-Y. But it can recover from this state
  when you issue the next directive. Sometimes it has problems with the first
  directive (because the PABX is still logged on) but the second directive will
  execute without problems. The main advantage is that you don't have to access
  the PABX manually to log it off.

We hope that you join the club by participating in the Internal Field Test.

Regards   Paul Goes & Henk van Steeg
