Alarm Configuration

7.6.  The Power Cycle Alarm

The Power Cycle Alarm can provide notification when all input power to the RSM-8R unit 
is lost and then restored.  When the power supply is lost and then restored, the RSM-8R 
can provide notification via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.

Notes:

•  The Power Cycle alarm can provide notification when all input power to the 

RSM-8R unit is lost and then restored.  This alarm will not function when 
only one power input line is disconnected.  To provide notification when one 
power input line is lost or disconnected, please use the Lost Voltage (Line In) 
Alarm as described in Section 7.9.

•  In order for the RSM-8R to provide alarm notification via Email, 

communication parameters must first be defined as described in 
Section 5.9.11.

•  In order for the RSM-8R to provide alarm notification via Syslog Message, 

Syslog parameters must first be defined and Syslog Messages must be 
enabled as described in Section 5.9.2 and Section 11.

•  In order for the RSM-8R to provide alarm notification via SNMP Trap, SNMP 

parameters must first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be enabled as 
described in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.

To configure the Power Cycle Alarm, you must access the RSM-8R command mode 
using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.  The Power Cycle Alarm 
configuration menu offers the following parameters:

• 

Trigger Enable:

  Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm.  When Disabled, this 

alarm will be suppressed.  (Default = On.)

• 

Email Message:

  Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm.  (Default = On.)

Note:

  The Email Message parameter offers four different options:  On, Off, On 

(Copy to All Triggers) or Off (Copy to All Triggers).  If either of the "Copy to All 
Triggers" options is selected, then email notification for all other alarms will be 
switched On or Off as indicated by this parameter.  For example, If "Off (Copy 
to All Triggers)" is selected, then Email notification will be disabled for all other 
alarms too.

• 

Address 1, 2, and 3:

  These parameters are used to select which of the three email 

addresses defined via the "Email Messages" menu (see Section 5.9.11) will receive 
the email alarm notification messages generated by this alarm.  The Address 
parameters can be used to select one, or any combination of the addresses defined 
via the Email Messages menu.  (Default = All On.)

Note:

  If Email addresses have been previously specified, then the text under 

the parameters will list the current, user defined email addresses.

• 

Subject:

  This parameter is used to define the text that will appear in the "Subject" 

field for all email notification messages generated by this alarm.  (Default = "Alarm: 
Power Cycle")
