5.10 Alarm Config panel
This panel allows the alarm reporting of the MDX-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 MDX-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
Card LED
This column allows configuration of the contribution of
selected individual alarms to the status LED located on
the front card edge. The Card LED status is shown at the
bottom of the alarm tree in the Status/Name column.
Overall Alarm
This column allows configuration of the contribution of
each individual alarm to the Overall Alarm associated with
this card. The Overall Alarm is shown in the upper left
corner of the iControl panel, and also appears at the bottom of the Status/Name column.
GSM Contribution
This column allows configuration of the contribution of each individual alarm to the GSM Alarm Status associated with
this card. GSM is a dynamic register of all iControl system alarms, and is also an alarm provider for external
applications. The possible values for this contribution are related to the Overall alarm contribution:
If the Overall alarm contribution is selected as Disabled, the GSM alarm contribution can be set to any available
value
If the Overall alarm contribution is selected as any level other than disabled, the GSM contribution is forced to
follow the Overall Alarm.
