RMS NetLinx Programmer’s Guide
Device Monitoring Framework
RMS provides device monitoring through a user extensible framework. This
framework allows you to customize what devices are monitored, the conditions
that indicate a problem or fault, and what type of problem or fault this condition
represents. RMS generates notifications when a fault condition occurs, as
determined by the notification configuration.
Each room has one or more monitored devices. Each device can be a physical
device, such as a video projector, or a logical device, like the RMS software.
However, each monitored device must be associated with a NetLinx-connected
device. In the case of a video projector, this device would be the IR card, Serial
Card or IP Socket used to communicate with the projector. The RMS software is
associated with the NetLinx master itself.
Each monitored device has one or more device parameters that represent
monitored items. For instance, monitoring lamp hours of a video projector is
accomplished through a "Lamp Hours" parameter that belongs to the "Video
Projector" device. All parameters must be associated with a device.
In order to monitor a device, the NetLinx system must register the device and one
or more parameters with RMS. For instance, monitoring of lamp hours of the
video projector is only available if the NetLinx system has added the appropriate
code. In many cases, this is as simple as adding a RMS support module.
