System Tab in a Maintenance Session

Road map

Each part of the System tab is discussed in turn. Default System data is listed in table 8–2,on p. 137.

Multi-Media unit registration

During the first Multi-Media unit’s Maintenance Session, the Serial Number (the site name in the site definition) and Software are obtained from the Multi-Media unit and displayed in the upper-left corner of the System tab, under Site Info.

The version of a Multi-Media unit’s software may differ from the version number of Admin and View. See also Making a Site Operational, on p. 55.

Logging System Messages

Log System Messages. The system message log is useful mostly to Multi technical support personnel. A checkmark in the Log System Messages box sets the Multi-Media unit to log all commands received in a system.log file, stored on the unit. The system.log file stores the 10,000 most recent entries. It does not get any larger over time; the older entries are replaced by the newer.

How to obtain a copy of the system.log file is explained at System Files, p. 132.

Other Multi logs

Take care not to confuse System.log messages of commands with the logs of alarms or events. For the alarm log see Alarm Log on p. 227; for the events log, see Events Defined on p. 187.

System Monitor

Enable status pulse. Enables the FAULT RELAY to trigger. Power outages and other causes can lead to a unit’s failure to record video or failure to function. Failure to do either, for more than 19 minutes, triggers the FAULT RELAY located on a unit’s back-panel. See the Unit Installation Instructions, K14390.

Monitor alarm reporting. Enables delays greater than 19 minutes in the reporting of alarms to trigger the fault relay. The monitoring is designed to report alarms that have not reached their designated alarm station, because of that alarm station being unavailable.
