Working with Action Tables

To send messages based on alarms generated by a HP Server or other serial device, an Action Table must be created in the terminal server. The terminal server compares all alarm messages against the alarm list in the Action Table. If a match is found, the associated action is taken.

When building an Action Table, you should first consider the following things:

1.The alarms to be monitored.

2.The actions to be taken when an alarm is received.

Structure of an Action Table

The Action Table consists of a list of alarms, the requested action (Action Routine), parameters associated with the action, and comments.

A typical Action Table is shown below.
