Configuring Alarm Paging
PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 201
The number of messages shown in each queue is the number of alarms that
are to be paged out, not the number of individual messages sent to
individual pagers. For example, there might be ten messages on the queue
display but these ten messages might be paged to twenty or more pagers.
Main Queue:
The number is incremented when the server issues an alarm that is
configured for paging. The number is decremented when the alarm is
paged out to all its configured pagers.
Escalation Queue:
The number is incremented when an alarm for which one or more
escalation pagers are specified is paged out. The number is
decremented when the alarm is successfully paged out to all its
escalation pagers.
If a communications error (such as no available connection) prevents alarms
from being paged, Alarm Paging continues attempting to send messages.
Messages are not deleted from the queue, and the Queued Messages
number is not decremented, until they have been sent. However, if there are
100 messages on the queue and more alarms are found, the oldest queued
messages are overwritten.
Delays
The time in minutes between the raising of alarms and their paging or
escalation.
Include in Message
Select the types of information you want sent to the pagers.
Multiple Messages
UCP protocol only. Disable or enable sending multiple messages during one
dialup session.
Note To set up Alarm Paging, you must be using a Station with a security level of
ENGR (or higher). Security levels are described in “Configuring Security and
Access” on page 209.
