Western Telematic MPC-20VS20-1, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VD20-1 manual Default = Alarm: Ping-No-Answer

Alarm Configuration

The Ping-No-Answer alarm configuration menu offers the following parameters:

•Trigger Enable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When Disabled, this alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On.)

Note: To cancel an alarm without correcting the condition that caused the alarm, simply toggle the Trigger Enable parameter to Off and then back On again.

•Resend Delay: Determines how long the MPC will wait to resend an email message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to send the notification was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes.)

•Notify Upon Clear: When this item is enabled, the MPC will send additional notification when the situation that caused the alarm has been corrected. For example, when Notify Upon Clear is enabled, the MPC will send initial notification when it detects that a Ping command has failed, and then send a second notification when it determines that the IP address is again responding to the Ping command. (Default = On.)

•Email Message: Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm. (Default = On.)

Note: The Email Message parameter offers four different options: On, Off, On (Copy to All Triggers) or Off (Copy to All Triggers). If either of the "Copy to All Triggers" options is selected, then email notification for all other alarms will be switched On or Off as indicated by this parameter. For example, If "Off (Copy to All Triggers)" is selected, then Email notification will be disabled for all other alarms too.

•Address 1, 2, and 3: These parameters are used to select which of the three email addresses defined via the "Email Messages" menu (see Section 5.9.11) will receive the email alarm notification messages generated by this alarm. The Address parameters can be used to select one, or any combination of the addresses defined via the Email Messages menu. (Default = All On.)

Note: If Email addresses have been previously specified, then the text under the parameters will list the current, user defined email addresses.

•Subject: This parameter is used to define the text that will appear in the "Subject" field for all email notification messages that are generated by this alarm.
