2.5 The Network Inspector Window
The Network Database can be viewed and modified using the Network
Inspector window. Each line in this window displays information about a
particular device, such as its location and type. It can also display a
description of the device entered by the user, allowing each device to be
identified easily.
The window also shows clear information about the present status of
each device, allowing you to tell at a glance the current state of the
network. For example, each device has a grey alarm symbol next to it,
which flashes pink if the device has any unacknowledged alarms.
The information stored about the Device's location allows you to connect
automatically to each device, as described in Section
Network Devices .
2.6 The Alarm Database
When an alert message is received by PCNC, it is decoded and
converted into an Alarm which is stored in the Alarm Database. Exactly
how this is done is described in Chapter 3 - Alarms and Filters .
2.7 Alarm windows
Information stored in the Alarm Database can be viewed through the
various Alarm windows. Each alarm is shown as an entry in the window,
with information regarding its time of arrival, source and nature. If the
alarm has been acknowledged, its alarm symbol (on the left) is grey, and
if not it flashes pink.
You can choose to hide certain types of alarm from most of these
windows by means of the Alarm Filters (see Section
The Network Alarm Log window displays the complete contents of the
current Alarm Database. The Device Alarm Log window shows all the
alarms generated by a particular device. Both these windows can be
filtered to hide unwanted information. All unacknowledged alarms are
displayed in the Unacknowledged Alarms window, which cannot be
filtered.
