Using the Web Configuration and Management Interface

Configuring Alarms and Notification

The ES1A can be configured to generate alarms and send notification emails based on the occurrence of specific events. Events include the states of some RS-232 handshake (GPIO) lines and the detection of specified character patterns within the serial data stream. The Alarms Configuration page displays the current alarm settings and allows you to configure them. It contains two sections: Alarm Notification Settings and Alarm Conditions.

Note: In the ES1A GPIO lines are permanently configured as RS-232 hardware handshake lines to support the standard RS-232 interface. Do not attempt to re-configure the settings in the GPIO section of the Web Configuration and Management Interface.

Alarm Notification Settings

The Alarm Notification Settings page provides a checkbox to enable alarm notifications. Text boxes are provided to enter the IP address of your SMTP mail server and the email address that will be placed in the From field of the email.

Alarm Conditions

The Alarm Conditions page is a tabular listing of 32 alarms that can be configured. Table headings include Enable (a checkbox), Alarm name/number, Type of alarm, Trigger conditions, SNMP Trap, Send to address and Email Subject line.

Clicking on the Alarm name opens an Alarm Configuration page for that specific alarm. The page contains two sections: Alarm Conditions and Alarm Destinations.

Alarm Conditions allows you to select GPIO-based or serial data pattern- based events.

GPIO is not supported in the ES1A but it is possible to use the Send alarms based on GPIO pin states feature to generate alarms based on the condition of some RS- 232 hardware handshake lines. For assistance in implementing this feature call B&B Electronics Technical Support or email support@bb-elec.com

To Send alarms based on serial data pattern matching, select that option and type a character string into the text box provided.
