Alarm Settings

Analog and Temperature input models support an Alarm mechanism in which you can specify up to five severity levels of alarm triggers and clear levels; the alarm triggers/clear levels can activate in either increasing or decreasing severity levels.

Each time an alarm is triggered or cleared, you can specify any combination of the following to be initiated:

zAn SNMP trap

zA message to syslog

Basic Analog Alarm Settings

The basic Analog Alarm Settings window allows you to configure one severity alarm, whereas the advanced window allows you to configure up to five severity alarm levels.

Configure the following parameters:

Trigger alarm Specify the value that will trigger an alarm, the measurement is based on the when input value is Type and Range that you specify. This value must not fall within the scope of

the value used to clear an alarm.

Clear alarm when Specify that value that will clear an alarm, the measurement is based on the

input value is Type and Range that you specify. This value must not fall within the scope of the value used to trigger an alarm.

Send Syslog Alert When enabled, sends a message to syslog when an alarm is triggered or cleared. The syslog entry includes the severity level and the value that caused the alarm to trigger or clear. The syslog message is associated with Level Critical.

Default: Disabled

Send SNMP Alert When enabled, sends an SNMP trap when an alarm is triggered or cleared. The trap consists of the severity level and whether the alarm was triggered or cleared.

Default: Disabled
