Alarms and message setup
Overview The C
OPERNICUS
server reads the messages from the S
TELLAR
.
If you connect a PC locally, the alarm messages are queued and sent to the local PC
as soon as the local PC takes control over the S
TELLAR
.
In order to be able to read the messages, you must make sure that polling is enabled
in ROSA. Do as follows:
1. From the C
OPERNICUS
Explorer, right-click on the COM-port and select
Properties.
2. Select the Settings tab.
3. Check the Poll Units box.
When the S
TELLAR
is not connected to ROSA, the messages from the S
TELLAR
are
queued in the decoder. This may result in some messages being acknowledged with-
out being reported to the ROSA management system. The S
TELLAR
may contain up
to 256 messages. When the message buffer is full the new messages overwrite the
oldest ones.
Message setup window Messages are set up in the messages setup window of the S
TELLAR
explorer.
When you click the Messages tab and reload a message (using the right mouse but-
ton) the Message setup window is updated. The following screen is an example of a
Message setup window. For a list of all the potential messages in the S
TELLAR
,see
ROSA messages, p. 123.
