5.17.6 XVP Full Upgrade option (XVP-3901-UG-xx2XVP):

This option can be used to upgrade an XVP-3901-UC, -FS, -DC, or -XC model to a full XVP-3901.

•

The option name varies depending on which model you have –

in the upgrade option name is the current

model designation. For example, the option to upgrade an XVP-3901-XC to a full XVP-3901 will appear as

XVP-3901-UG-XC2XVP

•

The tab for this option does not appear in this group when the card is a full XVP-3901 (as shown in the figures

above).

5.18 Alarm Config panel

This panel allows the alarm reporting of the XVP-3901 to be configured. The panel opens in a new window when the
button is clicked, and can be resized if needed.

The panel is organized in columns.

Status/Name

This contains an expandable tree listing all the alarms reported by this XVP-3901 card.

•

Each alarm name includes an icon that shows its current status

•

Some alarms may be text-only and the alarm status is shown in the name and not by a status icon

The

Card LED

Overall alarm

and

GSM contribution

columns contain pulldown lists that allow the level of

contribution of each individual alarm to the alarm named in the column heading to be set.

•

If there is no arrowhead in the box, there is no pulldown and the alarm is not user-configurable
