Configuring Alarms and Notification
The ES1AWB can be configured to generate alarms and send notification
emails based on the occurrence of specific events. Events include the states
of some RS-232 handshake (GPIO) lines and the detection of specified
character patterns within the serial data stream. The Alarms Configuration
page displays the current alarm settings and allows you to configure them. It
contains two sections: Alarm Notification Settings and Alarm Conditions.
Note: In the ES1AWB GPIO lines are permanently configured as RS-232
hardware handshake lines to support the standard RS-232 interface. Do not
attempt to re-configure the settings in the GPIO section of the Web
Configuration and Management Interface.
Alarm Notification Settings
The Alarm Notification Settings page provides a checkbox to enable alarm
notifications. Text boxes are provided to enter the IP address of your SMTP
mail server and the email address that will be placed in the From field of the
email.
Alarm Conditions
The Alarm Conditions page is a tabular listing of 32 alarms that can be
configured. Table headings include Enable (a checkbox), Alarm
name/number, Type of alarm, Trigger conditions, SNMP Trap, Send to
address and Email Subject line.
Clicking on the Alarm name opens an Alarm Configuration page for that
specific alarm. The page contains two sections: Alarm Conditions and
Alarm Destinations.
Alarm Conditions allows you to select GPIO-based or serial data pattern-
based events.
GPIO is not supported in the ES1AWB but it is possible to use the Send alarms
based on GPIO pin states feature to generate alarms based on the condition
of some RS-232 hardware handshake lines. For assistance in implementing this
feature contact B&B Electronics Technical Support.
To Send alarms based on serial data pattern matching, select that option
and type a character string into the text box provided.
