The following section describes configuration and maintenance attributes and operations for the communication services that expose Parlay X 2.1 Terminal Location Web Services interfaces. The sections also provide a workflow for the configuration:
This section contains a description of the configuration attributes and operations available for Parlay X 2.1 Terminal Location/MLP network protocol plug-in instance.
The ID is given when the plug-in instance is created, see Managing and Configuring the Plug-in Manager.

Below is an outline for configuring the plug-in instance using the Network Gatekeeper Administration Console:
Continue with the provisioning of service provider accounts and application accounts.
Below is a list of attributes for configuration and maintenance:
Specifies the MLP server’s URL.
Specifies the Network Gatekeeper user ID used when connecting to the MLP server. The user ID is provided by the MLP administrator.
Specifies the password used when Network Gatekeeper connects to the MLP server. The password is provided by the MLP server administrator.
Specifies the WebLogic Network Gatekeeper service ID. If set to an empty string, the <serviceid>
tag will not be used in the MLP request. The service ID is provided by the MLP server administrator.
Specifies the requestor ID. If set to an empty string, the <requestorid>
tag will not be used in the MLP request. The requestor ID is provided by the MLP server administrator.
Format: String [eme_lir | slir]
Specifies which type of location request to use towards the MLP server.
Defines the DTD to be used for constructing the request towards the MLP server.
Specifies the callback URL to which the MLP server delivers location reports, periodic or triggered, which is the URL at which the plug-in instance listens for location reports. The format for the URL is:
http://<ipaddressOfNTMachine>:<portOfWLS>/tl-mlp/mlp_client
For example, http://172.16.0.0:8001/tl-mlp/mlp_client
Indicates the type of Unicode character encoding accepted by the MLP node. The values are not case sensitive. A typical value is UTF-8.
Specifies requested MLP srsName attribute.
Normally this is www.epsg.org#4326
Specifies which version of MLP to use.
Format: Boolean [true | false], not case sensitive, all strings other than true are treated as false.
Specifies if the MLP server is allowed to estimate locations. Use true if estimates are allowed, otherwise false.
Defines the value of the attribute loc_estimates in MLP.
Format: Boolean [true | false], not case sensitive, all strings other than true are treated as false.
Specifies if the MLP server supports altitude requests. When set to true, the <alt_acc>
tag will be included in requests towards the MLP server.
Only applicable when the plug-in instance operates in MLP 3.2 mode, see Attribute: MlpVersionSupported.
Format: Boolean [true | false], not case sensitive, all strings other than true are treated as false.
Specifies if the XML tag <!DOCTYPE>
should be included in requests towards the MLP node. Valid values are:
Specifies the HTTP time-out for MLP requests.
Specifies the time interval at which periodic notification expiration checks are performed.
Specifies the maximum duration for a periodic location request.
Rejects startPeriodicNotification
and startGeographicalNotification
requests on the TerminalLocationNotificationManage
r interface if the duration is larger that this value.
If the duration is not provided in the request, this value is used.
