7.2 Event Handling
Event handling is the application that allows the administrator to setup pre-defined events, handlers, or
response behavior with individual profiles. With proper configuration, the administrator can easily and
remotely obtain the status and information via the gateway. Moreover, he/she can also handle and manage
some important system related functions, even connected field bus devices and D/O devices.
The supported events are categorized into two groups:
managing events
and
notifying events
.
M
anaging events
are events that are used to manage the gateway or change the setting / status of the specific
functionality of the gateway. On receiving a managing event, the gateway will take action to change the
functionality, collect the required status for administration, and also change the status of a connected field bus
device.
N
otifying events
are events in which some related objects have been triggered and corresponding actions are
taken. It could be an event generated from the connected sensor, or a certain connected field bus device.
Alerts can be sent by SMS message, Email, and SNMP Trap.
For ease of configuration, the administrator can create and edit the common pre-defined managing / notifying
event profiles for taking instant action on a certain event or managing the devices for advanced purposes. For
example, sending/receiving remote managing SMS for the gateway’s routine maintenance, field bus device
status monitoring, digital sensor detection controlling, and so on. All such management and notification
functions can be realized effectively via the Event Handling feature.
