4: Using Setup Mode for Configuration

Trigger Setup

A trigger event can occur when the unit receives two bytes of a specified sequence on the serial port, or because of a specified combination of conditions on the configurable pins.

If the serial sequence is set to 00,00, the trigger is disabled. At the Serial Sequence prompt, enter the ASCII Hex value. Example: A two byte sequence of 12 would be 0x31, 0x32.

If the configurable pins are all set to X (Don’t Care), then they are disabled. If both the serial sequence and the configurable pins are disabled, the trigger is disabled.

Note: You can set the configurable pins to A = Active, I = Inactive, or X = Don’t Care. Active can mean Active Low or Active High. To change the configurable pins’ settings, you must use DeviceInstaller or send setup records to Port 77FE.

Message

The subject line of the e-mail.

Priority

L is for normal priority; H is for high priority.

Min. notification

The minimum time allowed between individual triggers. If

interval

a trigger event occurs faster than the minimum interval,

 

the unit ignores the trigger.

Re-notification interval

If a single trigger event stays asserted, then the unit

 

sends an e-mail message at this time interval.

Each trigger is independent of the others. Each condition within an individual trigger must be met before the unit will send the e-mail.

Expert Settings

Note: You can change these settings via Telnet or serial connections only, not on the Web-Manager.

Only an expert should change these parameters. You must definitely know the consequences the changes might have.
