Western Telematic AFS-16-1 manual Alarm Configuration

7. Alarm Configuration

The AFS-16 can generate alarms when temperature readings exceed user-defined trigger levels, when input voltage is lost and then restored to the unit, when a Ping-No- Answer condition is detected and when the Invalid Access Lockout feature is triggered. In addition, the AFS-16 can also generate an alarm when the Monitor/Alarm Input feature detects a signal change at the Control Module AUX connector. When any of these conditions are detected, the AFS-16 can send an "Alarm" to the proper personnel via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP trap.

Notes:

•In order to send alarm notification via email or text message, email addresses and parameters must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.11.

Email alarm notification will then be sent for all alarms that are enabled as described in this Section.

•In order to send alarm notification via Syslog Message, a Syslog address must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.2. Once the Syslog address has been defined, Syslog Messages will be sent for every alarm discussed in this Section, providing that the Trigger Enable parameter for the alarm has been set to "On."

•In order to send alarm notification via SNMP Trap, SNMP Trap parameters must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.7. Once SNMP Trap Parameters have been defined, SNMP Traps will be sent for every alarm discussed in this Section, providing that the Trigger Enable parameter for the alarm has been set to "On."

•After defining parameters via the Text Interface, make certain to press the [Esc] key several times to completely exit from the configuration menu and save newly defined parameters. When parameters are defined via the Text Interface, newly defined parameters will not be saved until the "Saving Configuration" message is displayed.

To configure the AFS-16's Alarm functions, first access command mode using a password that allows Administrator level commands. If you are communicating with the unit via the Text Interface, type /AC and then press [Enter]. If you are communicating via the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Alarm Configuration" link on the left hand side of the screen. The Alarm Configuration Menu will be displayed.
