q. Persistent Alarm Report (Y or N): Selects periodically
sending a "User Report" of alarms that still exist on "user
channels".
r. Persistent Alarm Report Period (0-1440 minutes): This
prompt appears if "Y" is selected above for the Persistent
Alarm Report parameter. Specifies how frequently the
unit will attempt a Persistent Alarm Report. The number
is in minutes and can be set to a maximum of 1440 (one
day). Whenever the total number of minutes in a day
(that have elapsed since midnight) is evenly divisible by
this number, a Persistent Alarm Report is made, provided
there is an existing alarm on a User Channel. For
example, if this number is set to 480 and an alarm is
present all day, the system would issue a report at 8 a.m.,
4 p.m. and 12 midnight. Moreover, if the number were
set to 17, then the system would issue a report at 12:17
a.m., 12:34 a.m., 12:51 a.m., 1:08 a.m. etc.
s. Daily Report (Y or N): Selects whether the user will
receive a daily "User Report".
t. Daily Report Command (30 characters maximum): This
prompt appears if "Y" is selected above for the Daily
Report parameter. This is the command (standard or
programmable) used to issue the daily User Report.
u. Daily Report Time (HH:MM): This prompt appears if "Y" is
selected above for the Daily Report parameter. This is
the time the daily "User Report" is performed for the user.
v. User Channels: A method of limiting the channels that
the system will process for the above User Reports. User
channels are also used as a method of limiting the
information displayed by other commands (refer to
"Operating LMS1000" in the User Instructions (Section
5847) for details. Section 5847 can be accessed via the
CD (Electronic Documentation Package) furnished with
your system). Users configured to report via a TL1
network can only specify channels that have been
configured as part of an access identifier.
Groups
Up to eight Groups can be configured in the system. Each one is
programmable for a 30 character name plus any combination of
channels. Channels are specified by entering either a single
Channel Number (e.g. A0001, B0008) or by entering a range of
channels (e.g. A0001-0008, L0001-0012).
Groups are programmed using the command CONFIG.
System Alarm Reporting
To program System Alarm Reporting, the user first decides which
alarms are to be reported as part of the System Alarm Report. This
is done by configuring the appropriate channels for the feature.
Then configure at least one user.
If Email notification was selected, use the command "SET EMAIL" to
enter the following parameters, "Primary DNS Address",
"Secondary DNS Address", "Local SMTP Server Address", and "Email
Return Address". Also set the "IP Network Address", "IP Gateway
Address", and "IP Netmask" using the commands IP ADDRESS, IP
GATEWAY, and IP NETMASK. See your IT Department for these
values. The Local SMTP Server must be capable of relaying Emails
outside of the company's network if any User Email address will be
entered that is outside of the company's network.
Next, use the command "SET REPORT" to configure the System
Alarm Reporting feature. The command allows four parameters to
be specified as described below.
Report Mode: This parameter determines the operating mode of
the System Alarm Report feature and can be set to off ("OFF"),
Single ("S") or Continuous ("C"). The Single Report mode means the
system reports the new alarms once to the first user with which a
data connection is established or an Email is sent. The Continuous
Report mode means the system continues to make reports until a
user acknowledges it using the ACK command.
User Calling Sequence: The attribute specifies which users the
system will call or Email in an attempt to issue the System Alarm
Report. The User Sequence may contain up to 20 digits that
designate the user number. For example, a valid User Sequence
could be "121". In this case, user one is the called or Emailed first.
If the report cannot be made, user two is called or Emailed and if
that report is unsuccessful, user one is called or Emailed again. If
none of the attempts are successful, the system waits the specified
Retry Time (see below) before repeating the process.
Report Retry Time: If all users in the Calling Sequence are called or
Emailed and no System Alarm Report is successfully made, the
system waits the specified Retry Time before repeating the
process. The Retry Time is a numeric value that ranges from 0 up
to 1440 minutes (one day), with 0 representing no report retry.
The default value is 10 minutes.
Auto-Logoff Time: If selected, the system uses its internal modem
to make alarm reports. If the system must make a report and a
user is logged on using the modem, he or she is automatically
logged off after a predetermined amount of time. This is known as
the Auto-Logoff Time and can range between 30 and 600 seconds.
