Nortel DECT Messenger overview 19

After you make changes in Users, Groups, or Devices, the changes are

saved in the eCONFIG database, as well as in the operational database,

and so are immediately activated.

Note 1:

If you make changes in the database copy that resides in

eCONFIG, ensure that no one else is making changes in the operational

database. If there are other pending changes, an error can occur after

you shut down the eCONFIG and try to write the database into the

DECT Messenger directory.

Note 2:

If there are monitored devices in the active configuration, and

one of these devices initiates a follow-me, the diversion information

is stored in the active database. Therefore, you cannot restore the

eCONFIG database, and all the changes that you make are lost (except

for the changes in Users, Groups, and Devices).

Restarting the eCONFIG After you restart the program, eCONFIG finds

a database in its directory. The eCONFIG asks you whether you want to

continue with this database, or retrieve a fresh copy from the operational

database. Nortel recommends that you make a fresh copy of the

operational database to ensure that there is no database inconsistency.

eCONFIG (remote) on remote PC (client) in the network

After the eCONFIG is installed on a remote PC (not the DECT Messenger

server PC) in the network, the database is handled as shown in Figure 3

"Database handling after eCONFIG is installed on a remote PC" (page 19).

Figure 3

Database handling after eCONFIG is installed on a remote PC

After you open the eCONFIG for the first time at the remote PC, a copy

is made of the configuration database of DECT Messenger. This copy

is stored on the remote PC where the eCONFIG is running. You cannot

make system configuration changes in this database, but you can make

changes in Users, Groups, and Devices.
