Live Advisory View Advisories • 65
6 Advisories
Advisories, such as alarms, fails and notices, can
be viewed in an advisory view page depending on
where the advisory was retrieved. There are two types
of advisory view pages: the Live Advisory View and
the Historical Advisory View.
6.1. Live Advisory View
The Live Advisory View page displays the current
advisories (alarms, fails, and notices) retrieved direct-
ly from one or more controllers in real-time. Adviso-
ries can have High, Medium, or Low priorities,
which an authorized user can respond to with an ap-
propriate action.
Live advisories can be viewed at any control sys-
tem level or unit level in the navigation tree. To open
Live Advisory View page, click to select View Live
Advisories from a level menu.
The advisories are immediately received when the
Live Advisory View page is loaded. The controls on
this page will be disabled while advisories are being
retrieved:
Acknowledge, Reset, and Clear buttons are dis-
abled until at least one advisory is selected.
Advisory retrieval should normally take 10 sec-
onds per unit, but could take longer for first-time re-
trieval; retrieval speed could vary depending on
current network traffic conditions.
