Issue
How many events are buffered when contact is lost
Environment
I/NET
Cause
How many events are stored if connection is lost between the different source HostPC, X527, SLI, SCU
Resolution
This differs depending on where the connection is lost:
Xenta 527 lose contact with Host PC
- A Xenta can buffer 1000 event normally, this can be raised with command Eventcap
SLI ex. 7798C lose contact with Xenta 527
SCU lose contact with SLI
The messages are always passed as far up the chain as the communication allows. If the DPUs are talking to a 7798 or 7793 but communication from that device to a Xenta or host PC is broken, then it is the DCU that will buffer the messages using FIFO. The DPUs will not buffer. If any message gets FIFO'd out then there will be a TAP overflow generated when communication is restored.
