Alarm Message Pop-Ups

While online with one or more RIM-600 units through the ConsoleView Software, you can have an alarm message pop up on your computer screen whenever an alarm occurs. This could be an environmental or IP alarm on any Host or Node. You can configure this feature to display a general message indicating the Unit and Channel names, or you can associate a custom message with each input. The custom message can be displayed as plain text or HTML. The custom messages can be stored either on the local workstation or a drive that is regularly mapped to the workstation.

Activating Alarm Pop-Ups

Click on File, then Options from the main menu in the ConsoleView Software. The following screen will appear.

Within the section titled “Alarm Notification” click in the box to Enable Alarm Pop-Up Notifications. This will activate the Alarm Message Pop-Up feature. When an alarm occurs, a message will appear that simply displays the Unit and Channel names. If the user has permission to acknowledge the alarm, an Alarm Acknowledgment box will also appear. A sample message is shown below.
