    Section 2.4: Advanced Features 2.4.1 Monitoring and Control Profiles Monitoring and control profiles allow the operator to select what devices will be monitored and controlled by the workstation. Each predefined setting, called a profile, is defined by the system administrator for the specific site and application.

  • Page 54: Figure 2-23: Control Profile Select Dialog

    Control Profiles Control profiles determine which devices the workstation is currently supervising. This is very important because when a message is sent to a device, or an event for a device is acknowledged, that message or acknowledgment is only local unless the workstation has control of that device. Because of the need to be able to respond to problems that may occur in areas that a specific operator does not always monitor, the operator can change control of specific devices.

  • Page 55: Function Keys

    2.4.2 Function Keys Function Keys F2 through F12 are all configurable within the UniNet Software. This allows commonly used functions to be assigned to the function keys for easy access. Configuration of the function keys is an assignable security privilege, but generally the system administrator will define their function. The workstation has a toolbar for function keys which displays the 12 keys and a description of what the key has been assigned to do.

Two basic areas of protection are covered: • Hardware Security. • Software Security. Hardware Security Workstation power connections are secured with special hardware, and the computer power switch is disabled. With proper line current surge protection and UPS power supply installed, the workstation is well protected from system failures.

  • Page 68: Security Profiles

    Security Profiles Operator functionality and activity are controlled by the assignment of security profiles. Each operator and admin- istrator is assigned a security profile with their system member record. Security profiles contain a list of all worksta- tion functions where anyone assigned to that profile is allowed access. Security profiles are defined and maintained by a system administrator using the Security Profile Maintenance dialog box.

  • Page 70: Defining Monitor And Control Profiles

    3.1.4 Defining Monitor and Control Profiles Monitoring and control profiles allow the operator to select what devices will be monitored and controlled by the workstation. Each profile is defined for the specific site and application. Monitoring profiles determine what events are seen by the workstation and control profiles select what devices are controlled by the workstation.
  • Page 71 Event types are filtered by the device status. The device status represents every alarm type recognized by the system. Each profile can be defined to filter alarms system-wide by their status. Both of these methods can be used in a profile to allow alarms to be filtered for selected types and all alarms to be filtered for a selected location.

  • Page 72: Figure 3-8: The Control Profiles Configuration Dialog

    Control Profiles Control profiles define which nodes a workstation currently supervises. If a workstation does not have control of a node, all actions taken at a workstation in regard to that node are local only. For example, an acknowledge command at the workstation tallies on the workstation, but the node doesn't receive it. In addition, only one workstation can have control of any node at any time.

  • Page 73: Section 3.2: Screen And Site Management

    Section 3.2: Screen and Site Management 3.2.1 Screen Structure Graphical displays in the workstation are arranged as screens associated with a particular site.
