list you may also send that same person a complete log of
all alarms. Scroll down and check your preference of a
Dail
y,
Weekly
or
Monthly Alarm Log
.
Use the
Send Test Email
utility to ensure that the NOVIA 236
is set up to send mail properly to all recipients.
The Alarm Log
Under
Setup/Alarm Log Settings
you’ll find a
Status:
notation of
how close the log is to its maximum capacity, about 2000
events. Enter the
Email When:
box and set a number for an
alert. A setting of 10% equates to about 200 log entries.
The Alarm Log continues to accumulate entries, but you
may manually clear it at any time. Under
Alarm Log Settings
,
go to
Clear Log
at the bottom of the screen. Bracket and se-
lect the box, and when prompted push the knob again to
delete all alarm history. The NOVIA 236 Web interface pro-
vides means of downloading the alarm log for study and
analysis if desired.
Backup: The Hardware Profile
The entire NOVIA 236 setup, which includes input source
choices, factory and user processing presets, alarm notifica-
tion preferences and SNMP options… all may be saved to
your computer as a small text file. A Hardware Profile is
useful for restoring a previous processor setup or for ‘clon-
ing’ a second unit for backup service.
On the
Admin
Webpage, click:
Download Hardware Profile
to
save the profile to your system.
Your browser and version of Windows may ask whether to
Open
or
Save
the file. Click the
Save
button and the file will
be saved to a Downloads folder, and from there may be
moved to a convenient location. Other browsers may ask
you directly to specify a ‘Save as:’ location. The file carries
a default name of
236settings.ini
.
Upload a Hardware Profile backup file to the NOVIA 236 by
clicking
Select Hardware Profile…
. Navigate to the folder
where you saved the file and double-click it. The filename,
File: 236settings.ini
, should replace
Select Hardware Profile…
on your screen. At that point, simply click
Upload Hardware
Profile
.

NOTE:
Uploading a Hardware Profile reboots the NOVIA
236. After the reboot, an information screen pops up to
remind you of important operating procedures and to guide
you through any rough spots that might have surfaced dur-
ing reboot. Restoring factory default settings is another op-
tion.
Firmware Updates
It’s an easy matter to upload NOVIA 236 firmware updates
to the unit when we issue them.
NOTE:
Make sure that your Hardware Profile is up-to-date.
A firmware update could affect some user settings.
Updates are distributed as small .bin files that may be
downloaded to your computer Desktop or placed in any
convenient folder. From the
Firmware Update
utility at the
bottom of the
Admin
screen, click
Select Firmware File…
and
then navigate to the downloaded file and double-click it.
This will transfer the file name to the updater. Finally, click
Update Firmware
to complete the process.
