cnfndparms

Configure Node Parameters—configure diverse parameters for the node.

The cnfndparms command lets you specify numeri cal valu es or en ab le s for a divers e set of no d e- level

parameters. This co m m a nd has parameters that consist of an option n um ber and a value or a ye s/no

option. The configuration resides in non-volatile RAM and thus survives a system reset or power cycle.

The paragraphs that follow describe each option as well as the ranges for each type of number. For

information on the relate d alarms, see dspndalms and dspenvalms.

Options 1 and 2 let you specify a win dow of time in seconds and a number of resets to count the number

of card resets. The purpose of these parameters is to prevent an endless loop of card resets.

•Option 1 lets you select the sliding window of time for counti ng the resets of the shelf managemen t

cards. The characteristics of the ti m e pe ri od o p tio n ar e:

–

The units of measure are seconds.

–

The number is a 16-bit decimal number and therefore has the range 0–65355.

–

A 0 means an infinite time p eriod. The impact of an in finite time period is that on ly a specified

count of resets can stop th e re s ets .

–

The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour).

•Option 2 lets you select th e maxim um numbe r of re set s o f the sh el f mana ge ment c ard g rou p p er t ime

period. Its characteristics are:

–

The number is an eight-bit decimal n umber and therefore has the range 0–255. The meaning of

a 0 for this parameter is a n i n finite number of resets—the resets can continue indefinitely.

–

The default is 3 resets per time period.

Option 4 lets you specify wheth er an ab sen t, redundant core card causes an al ar m. ( Th e core card the

PXM45.) The purpose of this op ti on is to l et you tu rn o f f ala rms wh en th e nod e co nf i gur ati on sho w s c ore

card redundancy but one card stays out of the backplane for an extended period of time. In essence, it

lets you turn off alarms unti l y ou re-install the card.

Option 5 lets you enable expanded memory on the PXM45. To enable expanded memory, a pair of

PXM45/Bs must reside in the system.

Option 6 lets you specify the locations of required power supplies in an AC-powered system. If any one

of the required supplies is removed, an alarm results. (See also the descriptions of dspndalms and

dspenvalms regarding alarms.) Addi tional supplie s can also e xist in the po wer su pply tray, but removing

one of the additional supplies does not cause an alarm.
