Creating the TTGEN Configuration File

Overview

The TTGEN configuration file is an ASCII text file that describes the

size and configuration i nformation of a ZCOM s ystem. TT GEN compiles

this file and generates a corresponding binary “memory image file,”

which will be used by ZMON to initialize and start up the run-time

ZCOM sub-system with the specified configuration.

The first statement in the configuration file (aside from compiler

directives {#include or #define} or C-style comm ents) must be the string

“TTGEN” (without the quotation marks). This may be followed by a list

of options; see “Running TTGEN” for the various options available. The

configuration file is organized into sections; each section having its own

section header and subparameters. The section headers are indicative of

the information required to configure the ZCOM sub-system. The

headers are case-insensitive and are as follows:

TTGEN (TTGEN file control line)

Configuration (Global parameters)

Interface-Definition (ACC card specification)

Port-Definition (All ports on the system)

Subchannel-Definitio (Required for E1/T1 card)

Terminal-Definition (All terminals on the system)

Node-Definition (All remote nodes on the system)

End$

The sections must o ccur in the order as given above. Text enclosed with a

slash-asterisk (/*) and asterisk-slash (*/), or lines commencing with a

semi-colon (;) or an a sterisk (*), are treated as comments and ignored.

The tilde character (~) at the end of a line is used as a continuation

character, indicating that t he next line is a continuation of this line. The

lines may be in free format - the number of spaces between each

parameter is variable. Fields are separated by tabs, spaces, comma (,), or

colon(:).Multipletabsorspacescollapsetoone(thisisnottruefor

commas and colons). Strings are quoted by single quote (’) or double

quote (”). Numeric fields may be in the following formats:
