Alarm Notifications
The Watchdog 1000 support two types of alarm notification:
E-Mail:
The unit can be configured to send alarm e-mails to up to five recipients.
SNMP:
The unit can be configured to send SNMP traps to up to two trap servers.
Figure 23: Alarm State Menu
The unit is capable of any combination of the above alarms at once. Alarm type combinations are
selected per alarm via the check boxes which are displayed for each alarm on the Alarms page.
Alarm Types
The Watchdog 1000 provide three types of alarm messages via E-Mail and SNMP:
Trip:
Occurs when a sensor value goes above a high trip threshold or below a low trip threshold.
Clear:
Occurs when a sensor already in the Tripped or Unplugged state goes back into its normal
range.
Unplugged:
Occurs when a sensor with an alarm set loses contact with the main unit due to
the sensor being physically unplugged or another communications error.
Alarms can be added for each internal device or external sensor displayed on the Alarms page. An
alarm is added by pressing the “Add New Alarm Button” and selecting the sensor value to be
monitored from a drop down menu.
Thresholds
The user must set a trip threshold and type for each alarm that is added to the Alarms page. The
threshold type is chosen as either “High Trip” or “Low Trip” from a drop down menu when the alarm
is created. The threshold value is typed into a data window when the alarm is created. Alarms are
triggered based on the selected sensor’s data and the trip threshold type and value. Alarm settings
can be edited or deleted at any time.
