Device Monitoring Framework

The RMS application provides device monitoring through a user extensible framework. This framework
allows you to customize what devices are monitored, the conditions that indicate a problem or fault, and what
type of problem or fault this condition represents. The RMS application generates notifications when a fault
condition occurs, as determined by the notification configuration.
Each room has one or more monitored devices. Each device can be a physical device, such as a video projector,
or a logical device, like the RMS application software. However, each monitored device must be associated
with a NetLinx-connected device. In the case of a video projector, this device would be the IR card, Serial
Card or IP Socket used to communicate with the projector. The RMS application software is associated with
the NetLinx master itself.
Each monitored device has one or more device parameters that represent monitored items. For instance,
monitoring lamp hours of a video projector is accomplished through a "Lamp Hours" parameter that belongs
to the "Video Projector" device. All parameters must be associated with a device.
In order to monitor a device, the NetLinx system must register the device and one or more parameters with the
RMS application. For instance, monitoring of Lamp Hours of the Video Projector is only available if the
NetLinx system has added the appropriate code. In many cases, this is as simple as adding an RMS application
support module.
