The Global Menu is displayed any time you right-click an empty area of the iControl Edge Web page:
Operational mode Choose In Maintenance to set an alarm to In Maintenance status, which is generally employed in
the execution of a manual task.
In a typical scenario, a technician might want to effect repairs on a device in the path of a signal
being monitored by iControl Edge. Before beginning, the technician would manually set the
corresponding alarms to In Maintenance status, to avoid having iControl Edge report a sudden
flood of alarms. Once the repairs are done, the operator would then manually put the alarms back
in Online status.
Choosing Offline to set an alarm to Offline status has a similar effect, except that each latch is
also reset when an Offline alarm is restored to Online status.
Note: Changing an alarm status to either Offline or In Maintenance does not interrupt
monitoring. All alarm events are still logged and can be viewed using the Log Viewer.
Snooze Turns off an alarm temporarily. When dealing with unscheduled events, operators
sometimes need the ability to quickly suppress alarms for a certain period.
Desnooze Restores a snoozed alarm’s actual status.
Create schedule Sets an alarm-suppression schedule. For instance, if your organization performs a
sign-off at the end of the broadcast day, many signals monitored by
iControl Edge
therefore switch to an invalid format. Because sign-off is a normal, and predictable,
event, it is useful for
iControl Edge operators to configure their system for alarms to be
automatically suppressed during specified periods, and revert to their normal
behavior outside of those periods.
