Using the Web Configuration and Management Interface

Advanced Serial Settings

Click the Advanced Serial Settings menu bar to access settings used to fine tune the serial port. Typically these setting will not need to be changed. Consult the web-based tutorial for more information if necessary.

Configuring Alarms and Notification

The PES1A/PESV1A 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 PES1A/PESV1A 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.
