Keep Alive Operation
Keep Alive Operation
The Keep Alive operation will check that the distant end is available. A dummy message is sent that
the distant end must respond to, and, if no response is received the line will be taken out of service.
Keep Alive operation is effective on ISDN BRI/PRI and IP Networking connections.
Operation
The response to the keep alive message is automatic.
The generation of the keep alive message is set by Program 10-31-01, when the timer is set. If the
timer is set to 0, the keep alive generation is turned off.
The retry count for a keep alive message that is not responded to is also set at the originating
system.
The line will be placed back in service when the line is active and a response has been received to a
keep alive message.
The keep alive operation will only take place if the message is sent and not responded to by the dis-
tant end. If the message is not sent (for example if ISDN layer 1 is not active), then the keep alive
operation will not take place.
When the keep alive operation occurs, the link will be taken out of service:
● Any calls that are in progress will be released.
● Park Hold orbits will be released.
● No further Park Hold information will be sent until the link is active.
