Configuring the alarm levels
Administrators can change the default alarm levels to meet custom requirements. In
particular, you may want to adjust the alarm levels for Security Settings if you changed the
defaults for any of the Device Access Settings in Card Configuration > Security. The alarm
indications are displayed in the Alarms page, the top of the web interface, and on the SSP-
3801 card LEDs. The error levels are broadcast via the General Status Manager (GSM) to
iControl and GV STRATUS Playout.
To configure the alarm levels:
1 From the menu, select Alarms. The Alarms page opens.
2 Click the plus (+) or minus (-) icons to show or hide the alarms. Navigate to the alarm
that you want to configure.
3 Set the GSM Error Level for the alarm as desired:
• Normal: No alarm (green). Setting the level to Normal means that the alarm is not
triggered regardless of the alarm condition’s status. It indicates that no action is
required.
• Minor: Minor alarm (yellow). Setting the level to Minor means that when the alarm
condition is met, the indicators for a minor alarm are triggered. It indicates that a
low priority alarm is occurring and action may be needed to resolve the situation.
• Major: Major alarm (red). Setting the level to Major means that when the alarm
condition is met, the indicators for a major alarm are triggered. It indicates that a
high priority alarm is occurring and action is required to resolve the situation.
• Critical: Critical alarm (blinking red). Setting the level to Critical means that when
the alarm condition is met, the indicators for a critical alarm are triggered. It
indicates that a high priority alarm is occurring and immediate action is required to
resolve the situation.
4 For the Type Mismatch alarms, select the type of Expected Value. Choose:
• Audio: if the alarm relates to quality of the audio output only.
• Data: if the alarm relates to the digital transmission of data only.
