5.3 CUSTOMIZING OPENVIEW

These options should only be changed under the

5.4 CUSTOMIZING ALARMS
Alarm processing may be customized by select-
ing menu item Options -> Customize Alarms.
5.4.1 ALARMS
Frequency: The default is 0 seconds. OpenView
reports all alarms from E.F. Johnson components (such
as repeaters) to the Alarm Log and updates the color of
the icons. If set to a higher value, identical alarms that
are received within the time frame will not be
reported. After the time frame has expired, notification
of the alarm resumes.
Delete after: The default is 7 days. OpenView will
automatically delete History Alarm Log entries that
are more than 7 days old. The deletion will take place
when OpenView is started or at midnight if Open-
View is running.
Sort by: The default is “Time”. The entries in the
Alarm Log will be displayed in reverse chronological
order (newest at the top of the list). Selecting “Status”
will display the entries according to severity (most
severe or highest status level at the top of the list) and
according to time within each alarm level.
5.4.2 ALARM SOUND
Select Disable Sounds, Sound Once, or Repeat.
Disable Sounds: No sounds will be heard when
alarms are displayed.
Sound Once: The alarm sound will sound once when
an alarm is displayed.
Repeat: The alarm sound will be repeated until the
alarm clears. A time interval (Every __ minutes)
between 0 and 999 can be set to define how often the
sound is repeated. The “For status” entry sets which
level of alarms will receive the repeated sound. For
example if set to “Major”, only major and critical
alarms will have repeated sounds; all other alarms will
sound only once. (See Section 2.5 Color status leg-
end.)
By default the alarm sound will be the system
beep. For a system that is capable of playing sound
files, sound files can be associated with each alarm
through the Sound dialog in the Windows Control
Panel.
