• GSM Contribution
This column allows configuration of the
contribution of each individual alarm to
the GSM Alarm Status associated with
this card. GSM is a dynamic register of
all iControl system alarms, and is also
an alarm provider for external
applications. The possible values for
this contribution are related to the
Overall alarm contribution:
• If the Overall alarm contribution is
selected as Disabled, the GSM
alarm contribution can be set to any
available value
• If the Overall alarm contribution is
selected as any level other than disabled, the GSM contribution is forced to follow the Overall Alarm.
Levels associated with these alarms:
The pulldown lists may contain some or all of the following options:
The alarm makes no contribution (black icon)
The alarm is of minor importance (yellow icon)
The alarm is of major importance (orange icon)
The alarm is of critical importance (red icon)
The alarm exists but has no effect (used for text and composite alarms)
Shortcut: if you click on “Set All” beside a major heading in the Status/Name column, you will open a
pulldown that lets you assign a level to all alarms in that section of the column simultaneously.
Log Events
iControl maintains a log of alarm events associated with the card. The log is useful for troubleshooting and
identifying event sequences. Click in the checkbox to enable logging of alarm events for each individual
alarm.
