To associate a slave protocol instance with a communications link:
In the left pane, click Connection usage.
In the right pane, for each slave protocol instance under Slave Connection Usage, select the
checkbox under the appropriate connection instance.
10.7 Validating and Activating the Configuration
You can now validate the configuration, save it on your computer, send it to the SMP Gateway,
and restart the gateway in order to activate the configuration.
The procedures for doing this were described earlier, in the following sections:
“Validating and Saving the Configuration”, page 38.
“Sending the Configuration to the SMP Gateway”, page 39.
10.8 Testing the Configuration
The SMP Gateway’s configuration now contains a slave component. Slave components are more
difficult to test than master components, since they only process data in response to a request from
a control center. You may find the following guidelines useful in determining whether the slave
component is working properly:
Using SMP Log, check the Startup log, to see whether the slave component was started
correctly.
Using SMP Stats, open the Slave Protocols folder and check whether the slave component is
processing any data.
Using SMP Stats, open the Connections folder, and check whether any data is being
exchanged through the slave’s communications link.
Using SMP Trace, open the Slave Protocols folder, and check whether the component is
receiving requests from the control center.
Using SMP Trace, open the Connections folder, and check whether any data is being
exchanged through the slave’s communications link.
