8.ACTION AND EVENT ROUTINES

What This Chapter Contains

The Terminal server can be programmed to respond to a particular event or trigger. There are two types of events: Internal and External. An internal event is generated by the Terminal server automatically in response to a particular condition, such as a failed authentication attempt or a low battery. An external event is an alarm received from a device connected to the Terminal server. Internal events are listed in this chapter. The user defines all external events and the format must be as for internal events.

The action that the Terminal server initiates in response to an event is specified by the Action Routine associated with that event in the Action Table. A set of Action Routines is included with the Terminal server. A description and an example of each Action Routine are included in this chapter.

NOTE: To see alarms whenever they occur (even if there is not match in the Action Table), type LOGE ON to select LOG Events ON. To revert to normal operation in which alarms are not logged unless they match an entry in the Action Table, type LOGE OFF.
