 EGT MODIFY TIMER

EGT MODIFY TIMER

Function With the command EGT you modify the value of the timer.

Parameters timer name: time unit, timer value;

Syntax EGT: ( <timer name> ) :

[ <time unit> | 1 def] ,
( <timer value> ) ;

Parameter timer name

explanations
The parameter indicates the timer which is to be modified.

The timer names comprise 1-10 characters. The names of timers are listed
in the guidance texts.

The parameter is obligatory.

time unit

The parameter, given in decimal format, indicates which time unit has been
used as a value.

The parameter can have the following values:

1 Value in seconds.
2 Value in 10 milliseconds.

The default value is seconds.

For timers T3168 and T3192, the timer unit is either seconds or
milliseconds. The values of these timers are decimal values which indicate
the timer values from 0.5 to 4 seconds for timer T3168 and from 0.5 to 1.5
seconds for timer T3192 every half second. In these cases, the parameter
can have the following values:

DN9813203 # Nokia Siemens Networks 13 (18)

Issue 10-0 en
04/03/2008
 EG - GSM Timer and BSC Parameter Handling

1 Value in seconds.
2 Value in milliseconds.

The default value is seconds.

timer value

The parameter, given in decimal format, indicates the new value of the
timer. The guidance text shows the name, current value, and value range
of the timer in the selected time unit.

Parts of seconds can only be given by using the 10 milliseconds time unit
(for timers T3168 and T3192).

The parameter is obligatory.

Examples 1. Modify the value of T4 to 10 seconds.

ZEGT:T4:,10; or ZEGT:T4:1,10;
2. Modify the value of T3107 to 3.50 seconds.
ZEGT:T3107:2,350;
3. Output the guidance text for the timer value of timer T3168 in
seconds.
ZEGT:T3168:1

Additional After completion of semantic checks, the MML writes the value to the
information PAFILE. If this is carried out successfully, the file is updated to the disks.
After updating the file, the file is distributed to other units. If these actions
are not successfully carried out, the previous value is applied and rewritten
to the file.

 EGP MODIFY PARAMETER

EGP MODIFY PARAMETER

Function With the command EGP you modify the value of the parameter.

Parameters parameter number: parameter value;

Syntax EGP: ( <parameter number> ) : ( <parameter value> ) ;

Parameter parameter number

explanations
The parameter indicates the parameter which is to be modified. The
names of the parameters and the corresponding numbers are displayed
on the output device.

The parameter is obligatory.

parameter value

The parameter indicates the new value of the parameter. The name of the
parameter, its current value, and the range of the value are displayed.

The parameter is obligatory.

Examples 1. Modify the value of the first parameter to 1.

ZEGP:1:1;
2. Modify the value of the sixth parameter to 1.
ZEGP:6:1;

Additional After completing semantic checks, the MML writes the value to the
information PAFILE. If this is carried out successfully, the file is updated to the disks.
After updating the file, the file is distributed to other units. If these actions
are not successfully carried out, the previous value is applied and rewritten
