Enable: check box indicates whether the alarm is currently enabled or disabled.
•
Alarm: The number of the alarm.
•
Status: The current status of the alarm, which is either enabled or disabled.
•
Type: The basis for the alarm. whether it is based on GPIO pin state changes or serial data pattern matching.
•
Trigger: The conditions that trigger the alarm.
•
SNMP Trap: Indicates whether the alarm is sent as an SNMP trap.
If the SNMP Trap field is disabled, and the Send To field has a value, the alarm is sent as an email message

only.
If the SNMP Trap field is enabled and the Send To field is blank, the alarm is sent as an SNMP trap only.

If the SNMP Trap field is enabled, and a value is specified in the Send To field, that means the alarm is sent

both as an email and as an SNMP trap.

Send To: The email address to which the alarm is sent.
•
Email Subject: Text to include in the Subject line of alarms sent as email messages.
Alarm configuration
To configure an alarm, click it. The configuration page for individual alarms has two sections.
Alarm conditions
For specifying the conditions on which the alarm is based, such as GPIO pin state changes, serial data pattern
matching, signal strength (RSSI), or data usage. Alarm conditions include:
•
Send alarms based on GPIO pin states: Click this radio button to specify that this alarm is sent when the
specified GPIO pin states are detected. Then specify the following:
Pins: An alarm is sent when the specified combination of pin states is detected.

High - pin is asserted.
Low - pin is not asserted.
Ignore - pin state is ignored.
Alarm recurrence time: Defines how often to send a new alarm. For example, if the alarm recurrence time is

10 seconds then even if the pin states are detected 5 times within a 10 second period only one alarm will be
sent.
Send reminders while GPIO pins remain in this state: If enabled, reminders will be sent if the pins remain in

the defined state for an extended period of time.
Every: The number of seconds the pins must remain in the defined state for a reminder to be sent.

•
Send alarms based on serial data pattern matching: Click this radio button to specify that this alarm is sent
when the specified serial data pattern is detected. Then specify the following:
Serial Port: The serial port to monitor for the data pattern. This field appears for devices where more than one

serial port is available.
Pattern: When the serial port receives this data pattern it sends an alarm. You can include special characters

such as carriage return carriage return (\r) and new line (\n) in the data pattern.
