Events Tab
This tab is where it’s possible to configure the module alarming and error reporting (only
really applicable to larger permanent system installations using Central Control)
A list of the available monitored fault conditions is listed.
Event Enabled
– Selecting this will enable the event as something which is actively
logged and monitored (sometimes its desirable to disable an event if you expect lots of
triggers, for instance is the module had input detection on a SDI input signal, and you
know this will be frequently disconnected and changed then you might chose to disable
these events)
Log in GUI (on/off)
– there are two columns provided for each event. ON is selected
if you wish to record and log when the event happened, OFF is selected if you wish to
record and log when the error condition corrected itself. This is up the user and the
installation. For example maybe you’re only interested to log when a specific alarm
occurred and not when it recovered.
Note. Both the “Event Enabled” and the “Log in GUI” selections are tools
specifically designed to manage the error log file as to what’s logged. This lets
the user remove any inconsequential “routine” alarm conditions from the log file
to prevent it becoming excessive in size and more relevant to the particular
installation.
SNMP Trap (on/off)
– This is a duplicate of the Log In GUI function and is made
available if the SNMP option is installed in the central control system. A SNMP trap will
be sent to a user configured IP address reporting the error condition if the check boxes
are selected.
Simulate Event
– This mode is provided if the GUI is running in “simulate mode”. We
use this mode for testing / training and demonstration purposes where a large system
comprising off all LYNX modules is simulated. The user can try all the GUI controls for all
modules, experiment with the navigation and simulate fault conditions to see the results
in the GUI. Checking an event will simulate the fault condition and change the status of
the GUI alarm condition and also generate an entry in the Error Log.
