Fault Log System
The fault log system within the SMCS records transmitter status changes (using time and date
coding) and enables detection and identification of faulty sub-assemblies. This event data is
stored in the history log in non-volatile memory.
The parameters in the history log can be sorted and viewed several ways including: view by
general chronological event and view by parameter. This information can be printed and
exported from the SMCS for use with a typical database management system for further
analysis.
Remote Control
The SNMP remote control system of the SMCS requires the use of a third-party element
management system. It can be configured with either a dial-up modem interface or a GSM
connection. All functionality of the local SMCS system is available to a user using the remote
version (including control commands). Access to the SNMP agent for either writing and/or
reading is organized by means of different user profiles defining the individual access rights.
The SNMP TRAP operation is used to asynchronously send event information to the remote
manager. The agent generates a TRAP message when one or more of the predefined
conditions occur. The link between events and traps are configurable. The SNMP agent also
integrates the SMTP protocol, allowing it to send email on events.
External Contact Closure Monitoring
In addition to internal transmitter system monitoring, the SMCS system allows the monitoring of
several external contacts and alarm signals. The SMCS system is provided with a peripheral
input/output system (PIOS) that provides the station the capability to monitor up to twelve
contact closures. The system has three dedicated ports for fire, security, and environment. The
user can name the remaining external contact closures through the GUI. This provides the
flexibility to monitor anything at the transmitter station that can be interfaced to the contact
closures provided in the PIOS (tower lights, generator status, UPS alarm, etc.).
