Events Tab
The Events Tab is where the module alarming and error notifications are configured for
the module.
The GUI has an integrated error log, which is a simple text log file stored in the controller
PC. This will record an event and timestamp it. The log can be seen at the bottom of the
GUI screen and can be scrolled through using the scrolling bar.
Log in GUI Function
Events are selectable, you can chose if you want to record a particular event in the log
(or not) or configure it to only record one side of the event. (
For example you might want
to log when a SDI input was removed but do not want to log when it came back
). The
ON/OFF trigger can be configured for each of the available events shown in the list and is
setup using the checkboxes provided.
Alarm Activation
By default all alarm conditions are activated (checked), by de-selecting a specific alarm
condition I this column you are telling the module to ignore this condition completely. It
will not color the alarm LED, log and event in the GUI or send a SNMP trap. This is useful
if for example you never have anything connected to input 2 and want the card to ignore
this input condition completely you would simply de-
select “SDI Input 2 No Input” and it
will be ignored.
SNMP Support
If the system is using a RCT 5030 Master Controller and the SNMP option is installed
then the “SNMP Trap” columns become available.
Here you can configure what events you would like to transmit a
“SNMP trap” for over the
network (this has no impact or influence over the internally error log maintained by the
LYNX control system).
(Internal LYNX error logging and external SNMP traps can be configured independently).
Note.
The simulated event is part of the GUI simulator and allows us to force a
particular error condition for testing and demonstration purposes.
