Station <strong>Administration</strong> 455<br />

Station <strong>Administration</strong>, CPND, and List <strong>Manager</strong> use the Synchronize menu to schedule<br />

communications with the system.<br />

Communications considerations<br />

Retrieving data is a two-stage process. The system’s data is first downloaded and stored<br />

in the current working directory (the OTM system subdirectory). Parsing converts the<br />

data into the OTM data format. This new data overwrites (synchronizes) the OTM<br />

database for the system with the data from the system. The system’s data can be parsed<br />

at any time after retrieval.<br />

OTM requests a customer number for all data retrievals in order to enforce the system’s<br />

Limited Access to Overlays (LAPW) restrictions. If the login password associated with<br />

the entered customer number is restricted from the print routines needed for<br />

synchronization, the data will not be retrieved.<br />

Station synchronization vs. list synchronization<br />

List <strong>Manager</strong> synchronization is a separate task from Station synchronization.<br />

Synchronize list data before synchronizing station data.<br />

Some List <strong>Manager</strong> settings make changes in OTM’s Station <strong>Administration</strong> module<br />

(for example, feature key assignment). You must ensure the list data is present on the<br />

system so that station validation does not fail.<br />

Station retrieval—TTY Port configuration<br />

During the synchronization retrieval operation, OTM requests a print of the information<br />

on the system through the SDI port. The port used for OTM data retrieval should be<br />

configured only as a Service Change port. The OTM <strong>System</strong> Terminal application can<br />

be used to access LD 17 to temporarily configure the TTY port as SCH only (not<br />

required for Ethernet connections). If the port is configured for other data such as Traffic<br />

or Maintenance messages, OTM attempts to distinguish this data from relevant station<br />

data. The retrieval log gives errors when data is not recognized as station data.<br />

Data retrieval—Log window<br />

During data retrieval, the amount of activity in other Windows tasks should be limited.<br />

During long data retrievals, or if there is enough activity in other Windows processes,<br />

the capacity of the communications buffer can be exceeded. This condition terminates<br />

the retrieval process to prevent erroneous data from being entered into the OTM<br />

database.<br />
