Description
The NetGuardian Event Log has been enhanced to support new NetGuardian G5 features:
• You can filter Event Log entries by Alarm Point Group, to see only the alarms you want.
• You can reset the Event Log, to clear old alarms from the display.
• You can reset the Event Log by Alarm Point Group; for example, clear power alarms while retaining
intruder alarms.
Note: To manage Event Logs by group, select Summary from the left menu then select the Group
you wish to manage. From here you can view events unique to each group or reset the alarm events
within that group.
Click on the Monitor menu > Event Log link to view the event log. The NetGuardian's Event Log allows
the NetGuardian to post and monitor up to 100 events including power up, base and system alarms,
ping alarms, analog alarms, and controls. Posted events for the various alarms include both alarm and
clear status. See Table 3.A for Event Alarm field descriptions. All information in the event log will be
erased upon reboot or a power failure.
* DCPx versions of the NetGuardian automatically timestamp events before sending them to the event
logs. The time is based on the real-time clock (if installed). If there is no real-time clock installed, the
time is based on the NetGuardian's software clock (requires resetting after power failure or power
cycle).
