An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: *ALL

ALA_Confirm_action_str

This value defines the confirm action. Valid entries are YES or NO.

If *NO is specified, message delivery confirmation is not required.

If of *YES, message delivery confirmation is mandatory.

This parameter is related to the ALA_Group_delivery_str parameter

specified above.

Note that confirm delivery depends on a number of criteria, for authorized,

alarm priority can have impact in defining whether an alarm required

confirmation or not. Some other peripherals provide intrinsic message

delivery (sending a normal E2 message through DMS-API) while others

require use intervention (sending an urgent E2 message through DMS-API

required user acknowledge). In some circumstances, special procedures

apply to the confirmation action. This is defined in the corresponding

eASYNC table and eSMTP table.

ALA_Repeat_intv_n

This value defines the number of seconds between repeating alarm. Be

careful not to confuse this entry with ALA_Silence_intv_n discussed above.

The ALA_Repeat_intv_n is in most cases 0, meaning the alarm system

does not repeat active alarms. ALA_Repeat_intv_n is kept to 0 in

situations where the alarm systems can set a SET and RESET, or when

the alarm system sends an alarm once at SET.

The ALA_Repeat_intv_n is set to a value larger than 0 if the alarm system

is incapable of sending a RESET indication, and repeats active alarms

on frequent basis. When the appropriate alarms are no longer repeated,

the situation is interpreted as a RESET condition. You can use this option

to provide a steady repeat interval (for authorized, active alarms are

repeated every 20 seconds) and a continuously repetition (repeat is not

stopped after 10 repeats). When repeat interval is known, you can add a

small safety factor (for authorized, add 5 to 10 seconds) and define the

ALA_Repeat_intv_n as such.
