Connecting to a Heartbeat System
To connect to a Heartbeat system, you will require the following ROUTE-FILE entries:
-
A destination entry for each Heartbeat Gateway.
-
An Alternative Host entry that lists these destination entries.
-
A Q-type entry that specifies the name of the Heartbeat entry on each Heartbeat Gateway, and references the Alternative Host entry as the destination system.
For example:
System name : GWAY1 Entry type : destination Device : /dev/rcs/tp4-fnw0 Interface type : TLI Provider type : ONE TSAP : 0203 NSAP : 49000108001122334401 Network info : Comment : Heartbeat Gateway 1
System name : GWAY2 Entry type : destination Device : /dev/rcs/tp4-fnw0 Interface type : TLI Provider type : ONE TSAP : 0203 NSAP : 49000108005566778801 Network info : Comment : Heartbeat Gateway 2
System name : HBGWAYS Entry type : Alternative Host referenced D system: GWAY1 timeout : 300 referenced D system: GWAY2 timeout : 300 Comment : Heartbeat Gateways
System name : OASIS Entry type : Q type Referenced D system: HBGWAYS Referenced system : Comment : Heartbeat Database
When you connect to the Heartbeat system, you will specify the name of the Q-type entry.
