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.
(Default = "Alarm: Ping-No-Answer")
