Summary Monitoring
The Strata CIX system has a buffer that stores alarms as they are generated. The contents of the
alarm buffer can be automatically sent to the eMonitor as a Summary report, at 10 minute intervals,
by enabling the Alarm Buffer Status parameter in the CIX.
To enable sending alarm buffer data to eMonitor use eManager. Connect to the Strata CIX system
using eManager, go to the System Alarm Control screen and enable Alarm Buffer Status (Program
919, FB 02). The eMonitor must then be configured to monitor the summary alarms from that Strata
CIX system.
When the CIX Alarm Buffer Status is enabled and the eMonitor is configured to perform summary
alarm monitoring (per email address), summary alarms from the CIX will be sent to eMonitor every
10 minutes.
If the eMonitor does not receive a Summary report within two cycles (approximately

20 minutes) a notification alarm is sent to the configured email address. This
notification indicates that the CIX system or some part or the IP network connecting
the CIX system to the eMonitor is down. This notification will be sent once. The
format of the email is as follows:
