3.6.6.2 Utilizing Notifications
SecureSync events (such as going into or out of Time Sync, into or out of Holdover mode, an
antenna problem when a short or open occurs in the GNSS antenna cable, etc.) can cause a trigger
to notify users that a specific event has occurred.
In some situations, two events are generated. One event occurs in the transition to a specified
state and then another event occurs when transitioning back to the original state. Examples of
these are losing sync and then regaining sync, or going into Holdover mode and then going out of
Holdover mode. Other situations may only consist of one event. An example of this situation is
switching from one input reference to another.
Notifications of each event that may occur can be via alarms, via SNMP Traps being sent to one or
more SNMP Managers, via an email being sent to a specified email recipient, or a combination of
the three. The Notifications page allows a user to configure whether the occurrence of each event
automatically triggers an alarm to be generated, an SNMP trap to be sent out, an email to be sent
out, or a combination of the three.
Also, this page allows the desired email recipient's address for that particular event to be specified.
Each event can be configured with the desired email address that is specific to just that one event
only. Note that only one email address can be specified in each Email Address field. If desired, the
same email address can be used in all of the fields, or different addresses can be used for different
events.
All available SecureSync events that can generate a notification to be sent are located in different
tabs in the Notification Setup table: Timing, GPS, and System. The SecureSync Events that can
automatically trigger a notification are listed in the Event column. If applicable for each specific
event, the user can mask alarm generation (prevent the alarm), enable "SNMP" (to send out an
SNMP trap) and/or "Email" to send an email to the address specified in the corresponding "Email
Address" column.
