ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955 Admin Console as an alarm is added, in order to identify
the alarm to the system.
MPU955 Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon
adding alarms, the system will automatically assign the next available number.
Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one
component or sequence from another in row and column style. Since logical and local numbers
are not necessarily unique or consecutive, and the permission grids must be displayed as
consecutive, unique numbers, MPU955 Admin Console generates these ID numbers. 1 to 1,024.
Logical Unique number assigned by an NSS administrator. An operator will view alarms by this logical
number. 1 to 99,999.
Priority Level that determines an order of precedence between alarms. Alarm priorities work in
conjunction with the operator priority and determine the order of precedence between alarms and
operators. (Smaller number has higher priority) 0 to 65,534.
Enable Defines whether or not an alarm is enabled. Check the box to enable the specific alarm.
Auto Arm If checked, the specified alarm will automatically re-arm itself after being acknowledged
Allow Disarm If checked, operator will be allowed to disarm the specified alarm.
One State If checked, the specified alarm, once triggered, will not be monitored for its return from the
triggered state.
This is useful when you are only concerned that the alarm was triggered, but do not need to know
the duration of the triggered state.
An alarm set for One State can be reset even if the alarm condition still exists. Without this
option checked, if an alarm is triggered and you attempt to reset it, it will continuously trigger
again until the triggered state has ended.

Active If checked, the indicated output port will be turned ON when this alarm is active.
If not checked, the indicated output port will be turned OFF when the alarm is active.

active.
If no output port action is required when the alarm is active, uncheck and leave the output port
number blank.
Ack If checked, the indicated output port will be turned ON when this alarm is acknowledged.
If not checked, the indicated output port will be turned OFF when the alarm is acknowledged.
Enter an output port number to specify which port will be enabled when the alarm is
acknowledged.
If no output port action is required when the alarm is acknowledged, uncheck and leave the
output port number blank.
Reset If checked, the indicated output port will be turned ON when this alarm is reset.
If not checked, the indicated output port will be turned OFF when the alarm is reset.
Enter an output port number to specify which port will be enabled when the alarm is reset.

connected to an alarm input card), RS232 (external source connected to an RS232 port), Vid Loss
