What is an Archive?
An archive is a recorded event that has previously occurred. Each archive is time stamped and
stored along with pertinent information to tell what caused the event. All channel events contain
the channel’s current status to show what the current monitored condition was when the archive
event took place.
The following picture shows the current settings of how a particular channel will archive its data.
Max Archives
This is the total number of archives that this channel has been setup to archive. This number will
be between 0 to 2050. The total number of stored archiving records on the dialer is 2050. These
records can be divided in any way among the 41 channels on the dialer. To change the number of
archives, just click on the button for the desired channel.
Then, either type in the number of archives that will be used for this channel or drag the scroll bar
to the desired amount. The High amount will be the number of archive records that are left to be
distributed to this channel. Once done, click OK to approve the change or click Cancel to cancel
the change.
At the bottom of the Max Archives column, there is a current count of the Total Archives
Assigned and Unassigned. The Max total number of archives is 2050.
Types of Archiving
There are two types of archiving: Status and Time Based Archiving. The Enabling/Disabling
of each type will give the user a different set of archives.
Status Archiving
When Enabled, each time a channel status event occurs, a time stamped archive event will be
recorded into the dialer’s memory. These events include a state change (open to closed), an
alarm status change (from out of alarm to into alarm), and an acknowledgement of an alarm.
