							Configure Parallel Links 
Page 1 of 1 
VoiceMemo Release 6.OA and later 
This procedure describes how to configure parallel links on the Centigram server that 
originates the MESA-Net sessions between two nodes. With parallel links enabled, 
MESA-Net establishes a new connection each time the current connection or 
connections have been open for a set number of minutes. The answering node also must 
have the parallel links optional feature installed and have enough answer links to carry all 
of the sessions simultaneously. 
step de: 
You can make these changes to your active configuration with the system 
online and processing calls. 
1. Install the Parallel Links optional feature. 
2. Reach the Network Maintenance Menu, then go to the Network Node Access 
Table Maintenance Menu. 
3. Select to modify a node entry. 
Select: (M) Modify a node entry 
Prompt: Node number 
Response: The number of the remote node for which you want to enable parallel 
links. 
4. Press Enter to move through the succeeding prompts without changing any settings 
until you see the Parallel Link Delay prompt. 
5. Set the length of time that the existing connection or connections must be open 
before a parallel connection is established. 
Prompt: Parallel link delay [151 
Response: The numb& of minutes a link must be open before a new link is 
established. If you enter 0, a new link is crzted as soon as the previous 
link succeeds. 
6. Set the maximum number of parallel links that can be open between the local node 
and the remote node. 
Prompt: Maximum parallel links [l]: 
Response: The number, 1-8, of parallel links that the node can establish with 
another node. Do not exceed the number of physical links that both 
nodes can support. 
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for any other nodes for which you want to enable parallel 
links. Reference

							Configure MESA-Net Async Links 
Page 1 of 4 
VoiceMemo Release 6.OA and later 
This procedure describes how to create MESA-Net Async links on your Centigram 
Series 6 Communication Server and configure each link for the following parameters: 
6 Communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control) 
Failure counts (determines when a communications channel has too many transmission 
errors) 
e Network hardware type (assigns a hardware type to work with the communications device) 
Serial port (assigns a dedicated serial port to each link) 
e Timeout parameters (determines when to stop communications with another Centigram 
server) 
Step You create and configure links one at a time. 
ote: You do not need to configure links for MESA-Net TCP/IP. 
1. Reach the Link Type Menu from the Network Maintenance Menu. 
2. Identify the link that you want to create 
Select: (C) Create a link 
prompt: Module number on which to create link (l-4): 
Response: The number of the module, 1-4, on which you are creating a link. 
prompt: Link number to create (l-16): 
Response: The number of the link, 1-l 6, you are creating. For basic MESA-Net 
Async, you can only choose 
1 or 2. If you have installed a Link Enable 
diskette, you can enter a number up to the maximum allowed by that 
diskette. i 
The system then takes you to the Create Link Menu. Use this menu to set the 
parameters for the link you just created, as described in the following sections of 
this procedure.

3. Reach the Create Link Menu. 
4. Set the network hardware type. 
Select: (H) Network Hardware type . . 
pr~q~t: Enter hardware device number from 1 to 7: 
Response: Enter the number of the device (1 to 7) that is associated with the link. 
You must have already defined the device in the Hardware Type menu 
(see 
CP 5732).

5. Select I? to reach the Serial Port Device Type Menu 
6. Assign a port to the link you have created. 
Prompt: 1/2/3/X: 
Response: 
1 for ports on Serial 16/32 cards and Smartcards 
Prompt: 
Enter cti card port number (l-32): 
Response: The number (l-32) of the port on the Serial 16/32 card or Smartcard. 
If you want to use the default values for communication parameters, timeout 
parameters, and failure counts, you have finished configuring this link. Either 
return to step 2 to configure another link, or exit to the Network Maintenance 
Menu to save your changes. If you want to change the default settings, continue 
with step 7. 
fgg) 
onfigure the Communication Parameters 
7. From the Create Link Menu, reach the Comm Setup Menu to configure the 
communication parameters. 
Note: The communication parameters must match on both ends of a 
MESA-Net connection. Set the link parameters on the local node to 
match the parameters of the links that will connect to that node. 
Response: The 
number (O-S) that represents the desired baud rate for the 
communications equipment connected to the link.

Step 
9. Set the parity required for the link. The default is no parity. 
Select: (P) Parity 
Prompt: 
PARITY 
(N) None 
(0) Odd 
(E) Even 
(M) Mark 
(S) Space 
Response: The letter (IN, 0, E, M, or S) that represents the parity for the link you 
have created. 
10. Configure the data bits for the link. The default is 8. 
Select: (D) Data bits 
prompt: Number of data bits [S]: 
Response: The number of data bits (7 or 8) for the link you have created. 
11. Configure the stop bits for the link. The default is 1. 
Select: (S) Stop bits 
prompt: Number of stop bits [l]: 
Response: The number of stop bits (0, 1, or 2) for the link you have created.

VoiceMemo Release G.OA and later 
This procedure describes how to delete MESA-Net Async links. This is necessary if, for 
example, you are distributing the existing links on your Centigram Series 6 server for 
load share purposes. In that case, you would first delete the appropriate number of links 
in one module and recreate the links on a different module. - - - 
Step 
1. Reach the Delete a Link Menu from the Link Type Menu. 
2. Select to delete one link. 
Select: (0) Delete one link 
.Prompt: Module number on which to delete link (l-4): 
Response: The number of the module in which you are deleting the link. 
Prompt: 
Link number to delete (l-16): 
Response: The number of the link, 1-16, that you are deleting. You then see a 
display of the link’s current parameter settings. 
Prompt: 
OK to delete (y/n)? 
Response: Y to delete the link. 
N if you do not want to delete the link. 
3. Repeat the previous step to delete additional links.

4. Select to delete all link$ on a module. -* 
Select: (A) Delete all links 
Prompt: 
Module number on which to delete link (l-4): 
Response: The number of the module in which you are 
deleting the links. 
Prompt: WARNING: This will delete all network links on 
all hosts! 
Are you sure you want to do this (y/n)? 
Response: To delete all links at this point, type y. 
If you have decided not to delete all links, type n. You are then 
returned to the Delete Link Menu. Reference
