Ease of Use
Alarms and Events
The Q data radio can be configured to monitor specific diagnostic values and raise alarms or record events (i.e DC volts, Tx Power,
etc). The radio’s active condition can be evaluated by observing the event history and alarm states.
Event History
The events window displays the history of each event that has occurred. Each event contains a time/date stamp, an event ID, the
severity level and a description of the event. Reviewing the event history can also help in fault diagnosis.
Alarm States
Alarms can be displayed in the following states: Disabled, Normal, Recovered, Warning or Critical.
Warning state thresholds for some alarms can be configured to best suit user requirements. This can provide early detection and
notification before an issue becomes critical (i.e. damaged antenna, lost power/battery backup, etc).
Alarm state changes can also be subscribed to by notification services such as SNMP and digital outputs.
