ACTION DEFINITIONS
TIME ACTIONS
Time Delay Action gives the user the ability to delay the turn on and/or turn
off of a GPO by up to 24 hours. The user can assign a delay or no delay to
each GPO. Additionally, the user can assign a unique delay time for each
delay. The delayed turn on, or turn off, can be cancelled at any time before
the delay expires. Time Delay supports NTSC (DF and NDF) as well as PAL
and 24P. A GTP web page displays the current state and countdown of all
delayed actions.
The Time Delay Action requires a connection from the GTP to the facility’s LTC
time source. Combinatorial Logic option is included with the Time Delay
Action software.
To configure Time Delay Actions:
Using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, or other), from the GTP’s
home page―
1) Configure LTC Mode
1) Click on the Action Definitions link near the top of the page.
2) Click on the Time Actions link.
3) Click on the pull-down menu for Saved Delay Time Mode. The
default setting is NTSC.
4) Select the desired LTC mode from the pull-down menu. DF/NDF is
detected automatically when NTSC is selected.
5) Click on Save Mode to save the current selection.
2) Creating Time Delay Actions
1) Click on the Action Definitions link near the top of the page.
2) Click on the Time Actions link.
3) Click on the Add link just below the header.
4) Under the Add Delay Action Definitions section, enter a Delay
Action Label. Each time delay action must have a unique name
within the unit. This label can be no longer than 15 characters.
5) Enter an amount of time to delay the action by. Times must be
entered using the format “HH:MM:SS:FF.” If the time is not
entered in this format or is entered using invalid characters, the
time delay action will not be saved and an error message will be
returned.
6) Select a desired action from the Predefined System Action pull-
down menu. The actions available include GPO ON, GPO OFF,
TOGGLE GPO, and any available Switcher or Router control actions.
7) Click on Save Delay Action. If successful, a message will be
displayed under Result of Last Operation confirming its success. If
