Hi Joachim, I will answer you although it probably doesn't help much! My experience has always been that increasing MAX_ACTIONS works, on both NT and UNIX, in init.user. So, here are some obvious things, maybe you overlooked one.... - Did you reboot? - Did you remove the # in front of MAX_ACTIONS - Did you perhaps add you "own" MAX_ACTIONS and is it overwritten later in the file? - Even more stupid suggestion: Did you perhaps changed init.user.rel in stead of init.user? You say the panels do not work "correctly". Do they work at all? Do they only work for blocks 1-2000? Are there any syntax errors in your AAtab files? As a last resort: You could try to change MAX_ACTIONS in wp51_glbls, however this has never been necessary in my experience, besides its "illegal". (own risk etc) Good Luck, Bram Marsman Invensys Systems Netherlands. -----Original Message----- From: JL Joachim Leuker [mailto:Joachim_Leuker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: donderdag 31 oktober 2002 9:42 To: 'foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: [foxboro] Alarm panel Hello, folks, the discussion about language and time of day is quite interesting, but = for me an answer to my question would even be more helpful. Does this work in all of your I/A systems? No idea? Answer in German or French is no problem! :-) Regards, Joachim Leuker -----Urspr=FCngliche Nachricht----- Von: JL Joachim Leuker [mailto:Joachim_Leuker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet am: Dienstag, 29. Oktober 2002 10:21 An: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: [foxboro] Alarm panel Hi, list, one of our clients reports problems with the operation of Alarm Panels. If the ...AAtab file is longer than about 50kB (about 2000 lines) the = panels do not work correctly. So they changed MAX_ACTIONS in init.user to a = higher value, but without success. It looks like 2000 is the default value. The system is NT based mixed of V.6.3 and V.6.2.1 with 2 panels on each station. 6 stations form a common alarm group. All stations have the = same init.user entry and the same AAtab file. One of the stations has a = software panel (FoxPanels) on the screen. Any hints why the panels are confused by the longer AAtab files?
