1. As in the previous scenario, the alarm is acknowledged and the acknowledgment state
reverts to green.
2. If the problem is not fixed before the acknowledgment period expires, the acknowledgment
state reverts to red, which triggers a second alarm (that gets logged) with a note that the
issue has now escalated once.
3. A scripted action might, at this point, send an SMS message to a supervisor.
Alarm Component Appearance
For any given alarm, it is possible to have an on-screen representation of the components as
separate icons/buttons, or in one combined icon.
Figure 7-7
When an icon is configured to show the combined alarm components, it is divided into parts
as shown in the diagram below.
Figure 7-8
The entire left half of the icon changes color to indicate the current alarm status. The upper
right quadrant represents the latched status, while the lower right quadrant represents the
acknowledged status.
