--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.The Link-Static logical device connects the equipment used in a VLC for one end point of a static satellite link to the link management of the NMS software. The Link-Static device does not implement any equipment control nor does it contain a local scheduler. It simply collects the fault states of some device with a logical 'or' function and assigns the resulting state to the satellite link using these devices. The 'Link-Static' device is much easier to setup and configure than the other two link devices, it is therefore ideal for large networks where no scheduling is needed. The 'Link-Static' device may be used with static links only. If a link end point shall be used for scheduled links, you should use the Link-Two-Way or the Link device instead.
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .
--- Shows the actual link state --- The faults page.
--- The device info page. --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.Configuration parameters
The table below explains the configuration parameters which interconnect the Link device to the devices it monitors / controls. Unused parameters should be left empty.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| mode | Selects if this Link-Static device stands for the transmit side (TX) or the receive side (RX) of a link. If set to the value RXTX, the link endpoint is used with bidirectional links only. |
| fault1Id | The message ID of a device fault to be monitored by the Link device. |
| fault2Id | The message ID of a device fault to be monitored by the Link device. |
| fault3Id | The message ID of a device fault to be monitored by the Link device. |
