Figure 4-2. The Station Alarm Limits Window
Setting Station-Level Alarm Limits
To set an alarm for an individual station on the ring:
1.Place the text cursor into the desired alarm event field, and type in the threshold value.
2.To enable an alarm, click on the checkbox next to the desired alarm event field. An X in the checkbox indicates that the alarm is enabled.
3.Click on the clock icon next to the Within: field. A New Alarm Timebase text box will appear. In this text box, you enter the time interval for the specified number of events to occur before the alarm is activated.
NOTE |
The time interval set using the New Alarm Timebase textbox will apply to all alarms set in the Station Alarm Limits window. The timebase needs only to be set once to apply to all alarms for the station. You do not need to set the timebase for each separate alarm.
4.Highlight the hour, minute, or second field, and type the desired interval in each (or click the cursor in the desired field, and click on the appropriate arrow to scroll the interval up or down). Note that the minimum possible time interval is 10 seconds. Any lower time interval entered will default back to the last acceptable time entered. Click on OK to return to the Alarm Limits window.
5.Click on OK to enable all selected alarms for the station.
Click on Reset Defaults to restore the default alarm thresholds.
