Alarm Management

Alarms and events originate from a number of sources: data received on a serial port, Timer events, as well as other activities internal to the terminal server.

When the terminal server processes an alarm or event, it checks the Action Table to determine if it is listed. If the alarm matches one listed in the Action Table, the event is placed in the Event Table for processing and listed in the System Log for reference. To process the event, the terminal server performs the associated Action Routine, which performs a task associated with the alarm.

Usually the event is processed right away, and the appropriate action is taken (for example, delivering the alarm through a dial-up connection). If the event can not be acted upon immediately, it remains in the Event Table until the required time has elapsed, or the necessary resources become available (for example, the modem becomes free).

Action Routines are scripted functions that can perform a wide range of tasks associated with particular or general alarms. Certain Action Routines are included with the system, while others can be created and loaded into the terminal server in order to customize the alarm processing mechanisms and interface. Action Routines can be used to deliver alarms, take action on a host port, provide additional alarm filtering, or collect information on which subsequent alarms will be based. Action Routines can also create new alarms (called Pseudo Alarms) which allow the process to feed back on it.
