12.1 Alarm
An alarm is the processed form of an alert message received by PCNC.
Once processed, an alarm is stored in a database and displayed in the
Alarm windows along with the name of the alerting device. It is also
categorised for filtering purposes and marked initially as
unacknowledged. See Chapter 3 -
Alarms and Filters, for more details.
12.2 Audible warning
When a new alarm is received, PCNC can alert you with an audible
warning if required. This warning will sound until you disable it or
acknowledge all the alarms. Its operation is controlled by settings in
PCNC.INI which are described in Sections
7.12.1
and
7.12.2
.
12.3 Device
In this manual, any network component that sends messages to PCNC is
referred to as a device.
12.4 Filter
The Network Alarm Log, Archived Alarm Log and Device Alarm Log
windows can have filters set to control the alarms they display. The
Alarms | Filters... command shows a list of all the alarms that the
window may display, and allows you to hide any that you do not require.
