Configuring BIMS
Access Mode
Enabling BIMS Device to
Access BIMS Center
upon Power-on
After you make the following configuration, the BIMS device can access the BIMS
center after it is powered on and initialized.
n
If you disable the above access function on the device, the device will not send a
message to the BIMS center after the device is restarted. Therefore, the BIMS
center cannot detect that the device is restarted and still display the message,
indicating that it is waiting for restart of the device.
Configuring Interval for
Accessing the BIMS
Center
You can configure the BIMS device to access the BIMS center at regular intervals.
When the BIMS device is configured with an access interval different than the one
set at the BIMS center, it obtains and uses the setting on the BIMS center for later
accesses. The likelihood exists that this interval is obtained by multiple BIMS
devices. This, however, does not result in excessive concurrent accesses, because
the BIMS center has a tuning mechanism to handle the situation.
Accessing the BIMS
Center at a Specified
Time
You can configure the BIMS device to access the BIMS center at a specified time
and if desired, at regular intervals from then on during a specified period.
