Warnings and Faults

If you see a warning message on the System Control Panel, you will have to acknowledge it and (if necessary) clear it. Acknowledging the warning allows you to continue operating the System Control Panel. Clearing the warning message stops the warning condition from escalating into a fault.

Acknowledging warning messages

Automatic

Acknowledging an automatic warning message removes the message

warnings

from the System Control Panel screen.

 

To acknowledge an automatic warning message, press Enter. After you

 

acknowledge the warning, the System Control Panel displays the menu

 

for the device that caused the warning.

 

The System Control Panel will remove an unacknowledged automatic

 

warning message from the screen after three minutes. However, if the

 

condition that caused the warning still exists, the warning message will

 

reappear.

 

You can view a list of the last 20 warning messages from the System

 

Control Panel on the Warning log. See “Viewing the System Control

 

Panel warning log” on page 5–10.

Manual

A manual warning message requires you to make a choice (usually by

warnings

pressing Enter for “yes” or Exit for “no”) before you can proceed

 

monitoring or configuring the System Control Panel. It will not disappear

 

after three minutes. After you respond to the warning message the System

 

Control Panel will clear the warning message and return to the screen it

 

was displaying before the warning message appeared.

Clearing warning messages

Automatic warning messages clear when the warning condition on the System Control Panel disappears or when the criteria for clearing the warning are met.

You can clear a manual warning message by pressing Enter or Exit in response to the message.

Viewing multiple warning messages

If several warning messages occur before you can acknowledge or clear them, they are displayed together on a warning list. The warning list contains messages from every Xanbus-enabled device, not just the System Control Panel. You can select a message from the warning list and view its details.
