3.3.3. CAL Operation Overview

As new RARs enter the system, they are dispatched to an appropriate site handler which reformats and queues the data. When the number of activity records queued exceeds a threshold value obtained from the System Manager at startup, a download request is sent to the System Manager. At any point, the System Manager may log in to the site object and request it to purge its queue of activity messages, start/stop download of activity messages, or start/stop the transmission of monitoring messages.

3.3.4.Additional Product Features Network File System

The BCU/CAL can be licensed to function as a network File Server (NFS). This feature allows the BCU/CAL system disk to be mounted by client hosts, such as a billing mainframe computer. The NFS feature is provided at no charge for units licensed for BCU operation. It may be purchased as an additional feature for the CAL.
