UPIC connections

WebAdmin objects of the type "UPIC connections" describe the UPIC connections required by WebAdmin to communicate with the UTM applications if they are to be administered using WebAdmin. When an application collection is opened, WebAdmin searches for a 'matching' UPIC connection to each UTM application in the collection. If there is no UPIC connection available for an application, a message is issued and the application does not appear in the application collection (see below).

The boxes on the property page:

• 'UTM Application' text box
  Specifies the name of the UTM application to which the UPIC connection is to be established.

• 'Bcamappl/Appliname' edit box
  Specifies the name of the application via which the UPIC connection is to be established. This will generally be a BCAMAPPL name from the UTM generation.

• 'Pterm' edit box
  If the UPIC connection is to be established via a specific PTERM name belonging to the UTM generation, the name of the respective Pterm must be specified here.
  If the UPIC connection is to be established via a terminal pool (TPOOL) belonging to the UTM generation, either leave this edit box empty or leave the default value "<Tpool-Coupling>".

• 'Listener-Port' edit box
  If you leave this box empty, the standard port specified for the UTM application will be used for communication.
  If you wish to use a port other than the standard one, specify it here.

• 'Selector Format' dropdown box
  You can select the selector format here.
  You can use either the standard selector format specified for the UTM application or another format.

• 'User' edit box
  If you wish to use the UPIC security function, specify here the name of the UTM user with which the UPIC connection signs on to UTM. Otherwise you can leave the box empty. User names are case-sensitive.

• 'User Password' edit box
  Specify here the password of the UTM user with which the UPIC connection signs on to UTM. If the specified user does not have a password or if no UTM user was specified, leave this edit box empty.

• 'Connection Timeout (sec)' dropdown box
  Specify any timeout for the UPIC connection here.
  If you choose "<no timeout>", WebAdmin will wait indefinitely for the UTM application to respond.
  If you choose "<seconds> (WebAdmin default)", the global timeout value set for WebAdmin will be used.
  Otherwise you can also choose a value other than the WebAdmin default here.
  If no response is received from the UTM Application within the specified time, WebAdmin terminates the connection and marks the respective UTM application as not available.

• 'Encryption' dropdown box
  Specify here whether encryption is to be used on the UPIC connection or not. The encryption level to be used for a connection is negotiated with UTM when the connection is established.
  If no encryption is available then the connection is operated without encryption even if "Yes" has been selected here.

• 'Remark' edit box
  A comment relating to the UTM connection can be entered here. Maximum length: 255 characters. The entry is optional.
