CHAPTER 5: SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
Configuration of messages, phone groups etc are done using PC via ethernet port.
Alarm Triggering
An alarm event happens when any one or more digital and analog input changes state.
FMGuard continuously monitor the input for these events. When an alarm event occurs, it picks
up information from the configuration memory and performs the necessary SMS actions. In such
event, all mobile phone numbers stored in the memory will receive the SMS notification.
The format of the message is:
[Date][Time]
[Device ID] [Input Terminal Address] : [Input Description] ->
[Alarm Status]
Date and Time
The time of alarm event occurs. The real-time clock within FMGuard provides the time
stamping information.
Device ID
The identity given by the user during the software configuration.
Input Terminal Address
The terminal address is where exactly the alarm is connected to the FMGuard such as
X1, X2 or AI1 and AI2.
Input Description
The user defined input description during the software configuration. Commonly
named after the device connected to the FMGuard.
Alarm Status/Normalized Status
Configurable at the user interface, this depends highly on the state of the input. Each
digital input has a unique input status text unlike analog who has preprogram input
status.
