Nominating Alarms to be Paged
There are two ways to nominate the alarms that will be sent to each pager. One
way is to individually specify every point that is to have its alarms paged. The
other way is to nominate the alarms by areas assigned to operators.
Nominating Individual Point Alarms
You use the Specific Alarms tab on the Alarm Paging display to specify the point
points that are to have alarms paged out. Up to 10 pagers can be specified to
receive the alarm messages for each point. Alarms of the specified priority or
higher are paged.
To nominate individual point alarms:
1 Click the Specific Alarms tab on the Alarm Paging display.
2 In the Point ID field, enter the Point ID.
3 Select the minimum alarm priority.
4 Use the drop-down lists to nominate the pagers you want assigned to this
point.
Nominating Non-Area Alarms
Non-area alarms such as communication and system alarms can be assigned to
pagers.
To nominate non-area alarms:
1 Click the Specific Alarms tab on the Alarm Paging display.
2 Select the Non-Area Alarms checkbox.
3 Use the drop-down list to nominate the pagers you want to assign to the
Non-Area Alarms. Up to 10 pagers can be nominated.
Note You must use the Specific Alarms tab to assign non-area alarms to be sent to a
pager. If you make a non-area alarm a part of an operator’s area profile, the alarm
will not be sent to a pager.
Nominating Alarms by Areas
If you are using Operator-Based security, you can also use areas to control which
alarms are paged. Alarms are only sent to the pager for the areas assigned to the
operator.
