9.1 Real Time Configuration Manager Overview

The Global Call Real Time Configuration Management (RTCM) system manages run time configuration for Global Call components. The RTCM feature is used when the application needs to retrieve or modify configuration data. If the configuration data is not modified, the application uses the initial values for the configuration.

Note: Not all technologies support the RTCM feature. Refer to the appropriate Global Call Technology User's Guide to determine if RTCM is supported.

The Global Call RTCM system allows applications to:

• Get or set the configuration of a protocol dynamically. For example, the default values of CDP parameters can be retrieved or updated with new values.
• Get or set the configuration of a physical or logical entity dynamically. The entity can be a system (that is, all boards), board, network interface, channel, or call.
• Get or set the configuration of a call control library dynamically. For example, the default call state mask value of a channel can be retrieved or updated with a new value.
• Query the protocol ID from the given protocol name or CDP parameter ID from the given CDP parameter name.

In addition, the RTCM feature provides Global Call applications with the ability to retrieve configuration parameter information. Some of the ways this information can be used include:

• Efficient network management
• Troubleshooting software and hardware
• Performance tuning
• Dynamic alteration of a target object's behavior based upon past behavior
• Generation of status reports
• Dynamic configuration of Global Call call modules or call events
