LLP Type

Specifies the LLP (Lower Layer Protocol) type. The valid types are: 

• MLLP (Minimal Lower Layer Protocol)

• HLLP (Hybrid Lower Layer Protocol)

  For more information on the available envelope types see Lower Layer Protocol in TCP/IP HL7 adapter Operation.

• MLLP v2.0 (Minimal Lower Layer Protocol v2.0)

Select MLLP or HLLP or MLLP v2.0.

MLLP is the configured default value.

Start Block Character

Specifies the Start Block Character (the first envelope marker character in the HL7 envelope) as a decimal ASCII number.

A decimal within the range of 1 to 127. Unless there is a conflict, the value should be ASCII VT (decimal 11).

The default value is 11.

End Data Character

Specifies the End Data Character (The second to the last envelope marker character in the HL7 envelope) as a decimal ASCII number. The allowed range is 1 to 127.

A decimal within the range of 1 to 127. Unless there is a conflict, the value should be ASCII FS (decimal 28).

The default value is 28.

End Block Character

Specifies the End Block Character (the last envelope marker character in the HL7 envelope) as a decimal ASCII number.

A decimal within the range of 1 to 127. To be strictly compliant with the HL7 Standard, this parameter MUST be set to a Carriage Return (decimal 13).

The default value is 13.

HLLP Checksum Enabled

Specifies whether the HLLP (Hybrid Lower Level Protocol) Checksum is enabled or disabled.

Select True or False.

True indicates that the HLLP Checksum is enabled.

Max Number of Retries

The maximum number of times the adapter will try sending the message upon receiving the MLLP v2.0 Negative Commit Acknowledgement from the peer before giving up. 

This parameter is used by HL7 adapter in outbound mode. 

An integer indicating the number of times the adapter will try sending the message upon receiving the MLLP v2.0 Negative Commit Acknowledgement from the peer.  

The configured default value is 5.
