Setting Up Snmp Notifications - Spectracom VersaSync User Manual

4.3 Notifications
To determine how many satellites your VersaSync unit is currently receiving, navigate to
INTERFACES > REFERENCES: GNSS 0 . See also "Reviewing the GNSS Reference Status" on
page 148.
To set the GPS Alarm Thresholds:
1.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > OTHER: Notifications , and choose the GPS tab.
2.
At the bottom of the window, locate the ALARM THRESHOLD panel:
3.
In the Minimum Satellites fields enter the minimum number of satellites that must be avail-
able before the alarm is triggered. The alarm will be triggered when the number of satel-
lites available is BELOW this number.
4.
In the Duration Below Threshold (s) fields, enter the time in seconds that the system must be
below the threshold set in the Minimum Satellites field before an alarm is triggered. The
alarm will be triggered when this time is reached.
By default, this timeout value is set to 0 seconds: As soon as the receiver drops below the
minimum number of satellites, the associated alarm is triggered. A delay of e.g., 5
seconds, however, would not trigger an alarm if the number of received satellites drops
below the specified number for only 3 seconds.
You can configure this event to cause either a Minor alarm, or a Major alarm, or both.
To learn more about Minor and Major alarms, see "Minor and Major Alarms" on page 234.
Note that the GNSS receiver must initially be tracking more than the configured number of satel-
lites in order for this alarm to be triggered (the alarm is triggered when the receiver falls below
the number of Minimum Satellites you specified above).
