5.4.4 Triggers Setup
The Triggers Setup page allows for the
modification of Triggers. Triggers define
event logging parameters, and allow
configuration to automatically control
and protect connected equipment.
Triggers are categorized into three
types, AutoPing, Threshold with
Samples, and Schedule, but all have the
same possible actions. Actions can
either be on the onset (Trigger/Alarm Actions) or offset (Clear Actions) of a trigger.
All Triggers are logged, along with the associated actions.
Trigger Types
Item
Description
Threshold with Samples Uses measurements over an allotted time to take an action. This trigger type is configurable to act very quickly
or very slowly depending on environmental/system needs.
AutoPing
Issues a ping function on a periodic basis to determine if an IP asset is accessible.
Schedule
Uses the device time to issue a one time or periodic command. We suggest ensuring the NTP server is
updating correctly to use the schedule trigger.
Action Types
Item
Description
None
Do not take any action, only log the event. This is useful as a Clear Action when an action should persist, or for
both Alarm and Clear actions when just logging the event is desired.
Power On
Power on a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it.
Power Off
Power off a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it.
Reboot
Reboot a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it. If an outlet is already off when this command is
issued, the outlet will simply turn on after the outlet specific reboot delay time.
Run Sequence
Run a specific sequence.
Enter Shutdown State
Put the device into a shutdown state. This state turns off all outlets (unless they are configured for always
on). The only way to clear a shutdown state, is another trigger, a button on the web interface, or a REST API
command.
Clear Shutdown State
Clear the device’s shutdown state. Clearing the device’s shutdown state will cause the outlets to follow the
logic defined by the
On Shutdown Clear setting.
