Transaction Table Setup; Transaction Table Setup Example - Paradyne COMSPHERE 6700 Series User Manual

Transaction Table Setup

The NMS Transaction group is used to request that a command be executed. To
set up the Transaction Table, parameters must be entered based on the object
nmsTransactionEntries (
nmsTransactionCommandString. The format of the string is specified in
Transaction Commands , page B-23.
The commands relating to options and thresholds are performed using a working
memory buffer that is associated with the table entry. An NMS manager performs
a series of option or threshold commands by reusing the same index so that the
following commands are all performed on the same buffer.
After the command is completed, the result is stored in the object
nmsTransactionResultString. If the result is multiple lines, they are stored in the
nmsTransactionResponseTable. For details on the options and thresholds for a
particular device model, refer to the device operation manual.

Transaction Table Setup Example

The transaction is a request for a device option value. It is assumed that the NMS
manager has previously loaded the device option values for a device model 3911
with table entry index 2 (shown as .2). The option DTR Action is Set to Ignore.
