Configure IIM environment parameters

The most common file you can modify is the 
system_private.config
 file. This file is used to configure the operational environment parameters, as well as the TTS parameters, of 
IIM
. To configure the 
system_private.config
 file, complete the following steps:
  1. Open 
    Microsoft Notepad
     as an administrator.
  2. Click 
    File
     > 
    Open
    .
  3. Navigate to 
    C:\Program Files\capnode
     and change the file selection from “Text Documents (*.txt)” to “All Files (*.*)”.
  4. Select the 
    system_private.config
     file.
  5. Click 
    Open
    .
  6. Verify the following items in the 
    system_private.config
     file:
    1. The 
      indexURL
       variable should be formatted similar to the System Private Config XML figure shown below with highlighted 
      indexURL
      . The base URL should be followed by “
      /syndication/
      ”, then the device gateway protocol ID. For example, CAP_SERIALGV for a Generic Serial system, the organization ID number, followed by "
      /capindex
      ". 
    2. The “#” at the beginning of a line in the 
      system_private.config
       file is used to comment out or null out an unused line. The “#” should be removed from a line to use the variable. 
  7. Enter the proxy server and proxy port information you collected earlier in the proxyServer and proxyPort parameters. If the settings on the machine that you tested with are set for “Automatic” in the proxy settings, the settings for those two lines displays as follows:
    • proxyServer=none
    • proxyPort=8080
  8. Update the 
    CapPostingTarget
     variables to reflect the correct URL using the same base URL as in the 
    indexURL
     variable.
    System Private Config XML
  9. The following GenericSerial COM Port settings are default values and should be changed if the com port settings on your 
    IIM
     are different:
    SirenCentralEncoder.RemoteComPort.monitorRelayInputs=no
SirenCentralEncoder.RemoteComPort.BaudRate=9600
SirenCentralEncoder.RemoteComPort.DataBits=8
SirenCentralEncoder.RemoteComPort.StopBits=1
SirenCentralEncoder.RemoteComPort.Parity=n
SirenCentralEncoder.RemoteComPort.Port=COM7
SirenCentralEncoder.RemoteComPort.FlowControl=none
    The SirenCentralEncoder.RemoteComPort.BaudRate must be set to 9600 for communication checks (heartbeats) between 
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     and 
    SiRcom
     to be exchanged successfully.
  10. Configure the GenericSerial 
    SirenCentralDriverGenericSerial.HBFrequency
     parameter to set the frequency, in milliseconds, of heartbeat communication checks between 
    IIM
     and 
    SiRcom
    . The default is 30000 (30 seconds.)
  11. Click  
    File
     > 
    Save
    . Close the  
    system_private.config
     file.
  12. Restart CapCon console service.
