Enable Policy Entry
This check box enable / disables the selected policy table entry. If disabled, the firmware does
not look at that table entry when attempting to match entries to the event that occurred. This
option is enabled when the box is checked.
Policy Number
This edit box associates a policy number with a policy table entry. If the selected table entry is
already associated with a policy number, that policy number is displayed. If a policy number is
not associated with the selected table entry, 1 is displayed.
If alerts are associated with event filters, a valid policy number is required. Therefore, it is not
possible to select 0 as a policy number.
Policy Type
This drop-down box displays a list of letters that represent the policies that can be associated
with an alert policy table entry. The policy type determines how the firmware processes
multiple entries in the policy table that have the same policy number. For example, the policy
type can be used to indicate whether an alert is to be sent to multiple destinations or to
destinations involving the same channel. The policy choices are listed below:
• A: Always send an alert to the destination referenced in this policy table entry.
• B: If the alert to the previous destination was successful, do not send an alert to the
destination referenced in the current policy table entry. Instead, proceed to the next entry in
the policy table that has the same policy number.
