6.7 Network Reactions
Using the "Network Reactions" option, you can configure a certain reaction
to be triggered in a target in consequence of one or several alarms
generated by a certain source.
Alarms are considered as the source of a network reaction (Reaction).
Note: The signal available at a signal concentrator input is also
treated as an alarm.
The network reaction configured as target can be a
• Mail Reaction (e-mail transmission)
• Sound Reaction (generation of a signal tone)
• Switch Reaction (switching a transmitter)
• Alarm Printer
• Northbound Interface
As to which alarms trigger a reaction can be adjusted by means of a filter or
observer.
The configuration of network reactions is performed in the "Tree view" under
"Reactions". For this purpose, the "Filter", "Observer" and "Reactions"
options are available.
Filter
Using the filter, you can define an address whose alarms shall trigger a
certain reaction. To do this, the "Address Filter" and "Alarm Type Filter"
boxes must be configured correspondingly.
The "Address Filter" option permits the selection of a complete network,
node, card slot or sub-address. Other elements cannot be used.
Using the "Alarm Type Filter", you can define as to which alarms shall be
taken into consideration.
Observer
Using an observer, you can define a reaction to be triggered for a certain
address on occurrence of an alarm with a certain severity. The address
entered can be a network, node or a sub-address.
For switching signal concentrator outputs, the observer is used in
conjunction with a switch reaction.
The following severities are possible:
•OK
•Minor
•Critical
