Alarm Configuration
7.8. The Power Cycle Alarm
The Power Cycle Alarm can provide notification when all input power to the MPC unit is
lost and then restored. When one of the power supplies is lost, the MPC can provide
notification via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.
Notes:
• The Power Cycle alarm can provide notification when all input power to the
MPC unit is lost and then restored. This alarm will not function when only
one power input line is disconnected. To provide notification when one
power input line is lost or disconnected, please use the Lost Voltage (Line In)
Alarm as described in Section 7.5.
• In order for the MPC to provide alarm notification via Email, communication
parameters must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.11.
• In order for the MPC to provide alarm notification via Syslog Message, Syslog
parameters must first be defined and Syslog Messages must be enabled as
described in Section 5.9.2 and Section 11.
• In order for the MPC to provide alarm notification via SNMP Trap, SNMP
parameters must first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be enabled as
described in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.
To configure the Power Cycle Alarm, access the MPC command mode using a
password that permits Administrator Level commands, and then proceed as follows:
• Text Interface: Type /AC and then press [Enter] to display the Alarm Configuration
Menu. From the Alarm Configuration Menu, type 10 and press [Enter] to access
the configuration menu for the Power Cycle Alarm.
• Web Browser Interface: Click the "Alarm Configuration" link, located on the left
hand side of the screen to display the Alarm Configuration Menu. From the Alarm
Configuration Menu, click on the "Power Cycle" link to access the configuration
menu.
The Power Cycle 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.)
• 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.
