6.2.4 Syntax description for parameters
All parameters described in this section are presented in a table similar to the one
illustrated below.
A short descriptions of the categories are listed below:
• Parameter name specifies the parameter name with a complete directory hierarchy
where dots '.' are used as delimiter. This exact parameter name must be used during
every access of the parameter by all possible users of the configuration system.
• External access specifies which privileges the integrator has in terms of accessing
the parameter. The parameter can be either read ('r'), write ('w') or read_write
('r/w’). It also holds a time indication which specifies the latest time in the startup
sequence the parameter must be written defined as follows:
• t1=before service activation
• t2=during service
• t3=before waveform activation
• t4=during waveform operation
The parameter restriction (§1..5) is described in details in section 6.2.4.1.
• Type specifies the attribute type of the parameter which can either be an 32-bit
integer ('int'), a character string (‘string’) or a byte array (‘byte array’).
• Domain specifies in which domain the parameter is stored (ram or flash) and thereby
if the parameter is persistent or not (volatile/non-volatile memory).
• ram = the parameter is stored in volatile memory and will be cleared during reset
of the BGAN XL Radio Module (dyndata).
• flash = the parameter is stored in non-volatile memory and is thus persistent
during reset of the BGAN XL Radio Module.
• cached= the parameter is stored in volatile memory but written to non-volatile
memory every 30 min. or at power down.
• ‘factory’ is used for parameters stored during production that cannot be changed,
e.g. MAC address, internal calibration values etc..
• Value specifies the minimum and maximum value of the parameter.
Comment contains a short description of the parameter and how it can be used.

Note
The configuration is written to a file system and not a single sector in the non-volatile
memory. Using multiple sectors extends the flash wear-out time significantly.
