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.
Levels associated with these alarms:
The pulldown lists may contain some or all of the following options:
The alarm makes no contribution (black icon)
The alarm is of minor importance (yellow icon)
The alarm is of major importance (orange icon)
The alarm is of critical importance (red icon)
The alarm exists but has no effect (used for text and composite alarms)
Shortcut:
if you click in one of the columns beside a major heading in the Status/Name column (where there is no
pulldown shown), you will open an “invisible” pulldown that lets you assign a level to all alarms in that section of the
column simultaneously.
Once the alarms are configured, you may accept the changes or discard them:
Log Events
iControl maintains a log of alarm events associated with the card. The log is useful for troubleshooting and identifying
event sequences. Click in the checkbox to enable logging of alarm events for each individual alarm.
At the bottom of the window are several other controls
Overall follow LED
Click in the checkbox to force the Overall alarm to be identical to the Card LED status
•
All Overall alarms for which there is a Card LED alarm will be forced to match the Card LED alarm
•
All Overall Alarms for which there is no Card LED alarm will be forced to Disabled
A warning box will open allowing you to confirm the action, since
it will result in changes to the configuration and there is no
undo
function.
