Setting the Maximum Number of Gateway Screening Rejected Messages

When an MSU is rejected because of gateway screening, a UIM is sent to the terminal alerting the user that the MSU has been rejected. The EAGLE allows the user to configure the maximum number of these UIMs that can be sent to the terminal for a specified time period. This procedure is used to configure the maximum number of UIMs sent to the terminal and the time period using the set-scrrej-prmtrs command.

The set-scrrej-prmtrs command uses these parameters.

:limit – the number of UIMs to be sent to the EAGLE terminals during the time period specified by the intrvl parameter. The values for this parameter range from 0 to 9999.

:intrvl – the amount of time, in minutes, that the maximum number of UIMs, defined by the limit parameter, can be sent to the EAGLE terminals.

The examples in this procedure are used to set the number of UIMs to 500 and the time period to 20 minutes.

1. Display the current gateway screening rejected UIM limit in the database using the rtrv-gtwy-prmtrs command.

   The following is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:25:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
   LIMIT INTRVL
   1000  15
   

2. Set the gateway screening rejected UIM limit using the set-scrrej-prmtrs command.

   For this example, enter this command.

   set-scrrej-prmtrs:limit=500:intrvl=20

   When this command has successfully completed, a message similar to the following should appear.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:26:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
   SET-SCRREJ-PRMTRS: MASP A - COMPLTD
   

3. Verify the changes using the rtrv-gtwy-prmtrs command.

   The following is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:27:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
   LIMIT INTRVL
   500   20
   

4. Backup the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

   The following messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.

   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
