Perform Action
By default, i-Vu CCN Pro performs an alarm action when the alarm source
generates an alarm
and
when it returns to normal. Under
Perform Action
you can
choose to:
•
Run the alarm action only when the alarm source generates an alarm
or
when
it returns to normal.
•
Wait for the specified amount of time, then run the alarm action if the alarm
has not been acknowledged or has not returned to normal. *
•
Run if the alarm occurs during the occupied hours defined for a schedule
group or run if the alarm occurs during the unoccupied hours defined for a
schedule group. *
EXAMPLE: To have i-Vu CCN Pro perform one alarm action during work hours
and a different alarm action after work hours:
1.
Create a
schedule group
(page 49), but do not assign members to it.
2.
Create a schedule for the group. Set the occupied hours to be the same
as the work hours.
3.
Create the alarm action that you want i-Vu CCN Pro to perform during
work hours. Under
Run Conditions
, select
Run if schedule group <your
new group> is Occupied
.
Create the alarm action that you want i-Vu CCN Pro to perform during after hours.
Under
Run Conditions
, select
Run if schedule group <your new group> is
Unoccupied

NOTES
•
To keep the database table from growing too large, you must delete old entries using a third-party
database application. You cannot view, edit, or delete entries from i-Vu CCN Pro.
•
If your system uses an Access or MSDE database, you cannot open the database in a third-party
application while i-Vu CCN Pro or SiteBuilder is running.
Writing to a custom database
i-Vu CCN Pro can write alarm information to the following types of custom databases. The custom database
does not have to be the same type as the i-Vu CCN Pro database.
•
SQL Server
•
MySQL
•
PostgreSQL
