DVXMONITOR PLUG-IN
DVXMonitor is a plug-in that controls the DVXi watchdog option. This option
protects your DVXi system in the event of several types of failures or unautho-
rized actions. If a selected condition or an unauthorized action occurs, the system
is restarted and/or the normally closed alarm output is triggered. You must be
logged on to MasterControl with Administrator or Supervisor permissions to run
DVXMonitor.
The following events automatically cause the system to be restarted if DVXMonitor
is enabled:
•
MasterControl fails
•
RemoteView Server fails
•
Images are not being sent from XMUX to the DVXi system (DVXi XM16
and DVXi XM32 only)
There are several events that can cause the system to trigger the alarm output but
do not cause a system restart. These events must be selected on the DVXMonitor
tab. Two of the events that can cause a restart, MasterControl and RemoteView
failing, are also included among the events that can trigger the alarm output. Im-
ages not being sent from XMUX automatically triggers the alarm output and is not
user-selectable. The location of the normally closed alarm output is shown in Fig-
ure 58.

The watchdog alarm
output is located on
the trigger block on
the DVXi rear panel.
