Add new ASVP alarm messages (MDF)
From Zenitel Wiki
- The ASVP board can store a large number of alarm messages. In the MDF file there is mapping information saying which alarm message in the ASVP corresponds to which alarm message id in AMC. As a default 9 alarm messages are mapped in the MDF file.
- When using ASVP board with more than 9 alarm messages the MDF file needs to be modified
- Before you start it is recommended to make a backup of the current mdf file. In the directory AlphaPro > Database > "Your exchange" you will find a file with the extension .mdf. Make a backup copy of the file.
- The different alarm messages are defined in a table in the ASVP.
| AMC | ASVP | |
|---|---|---|
| Directory number | Alarm message id | Group, individ |
| 8191 | 1 | 4, 10 |
| 8192 | 2 | 4, 11 |
| 8193 | 3 | 4, 13 |
| 8194 | 4 | 4, 14 |
| 8195 | 5 | 4, 15 |
| 8196 | 6 | 4, 16 |
| 8197 | 7 | 4, 17 |
| 8198 | 8 | 4, 18 |
| 8199 | 9 | 4, 19 |
| 4, 20 | ||
| 4, 21 | ||
| 4, 22 | ||

Open the MDF file. Default MDF file:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % % New group: ANNOUNCEMENT = 30 (No text) % % % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% #UMSG 30 1 (4,10) #UMSG 30 2 (4,11) #UMSG 30 3 (4,13) #UMSG 30 4 (4,14) #UMSG 30 5 (4,15) #UMSG 30 6 (4,16) #UMSG 30 7 (4,17) #UMSG 30 8 (4,18) #UMSG 30 9 (4,19)
The numbers in brackets indicates the table and line number of the alarm messages being used in the ASVP. If we want to add message individ 20 we should do the following changes in the MDF file:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % % New group: ANNOUNCEMENT = 30 (No text) % % % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% #UMSG 30 1 (4,10) #UMSG 30 2 (4,11) #UMSG 30 3 (4,13) #UMSG 30 4 (4,14) #UMSG 30 5 (4,15) #UMSG 30 6 (4,16) #UMSG 30 7 (4,17) #UMSG 30 8 (4,18) #UMSG 30 9 (4,19) #UMSG 30 10 (4,20)
The new message will have id 10 in the AMC. The message can be activated from RCI or Event Handler by the AMS or AMG command.
Example:
- AMS 1 10 will activate message 10 to station 1
- AMG 4 10 will activate message 10 to group 4
The message 10 can also be assigned a directory number. In the Directory & Features menu of the AlphaPro we need to add a new directory number with feature number 67, Message no = 10:
