Report name: It is possible to define the service name that should be used for
alarm traps and for alarm reporting to the VideoBridge Controller.
This can be convenient to be able to track a service that changes
name (as signalled in PSI/SI) in the signal chain. Note that this
functionality will only work for services specified by service ID or
by name (specified in the Selection column).
Scrambling: If a value different from 'Ignore' is selected an alarm will be raised
if the service scrambling status differs from the requirement. A
service is considered scrambled if one of its components is
scrambled.
Service type: If a value different from 'Ignore' is selected it should match the
service type detected by analysing the received SDT. An alarm will
be raised if the service types differ.
Schedule: The Schedule drop-down menu allows the user to associate a
scheduling scheme to a service or service type, in effect masking
alarms during selected intervals. Scheduling templates are
defined in the Setup - Scheduling view. The predefined
scheduling templates 'Never' and 'Always' will always be
selectable, and these will result in service alarms never and
always being masked, respectively. Note that if a PID is shared
between several services and alarm masking is defined for one of
the services, no alarms will be raised due to errors affecting this
PID.
Note that it is possible to create a service threshold template that allows probe
alarming if a new service appears in a stream. This is done by creating a threshold
template listing the service IDs that are allowed to be present in a stream, and
associating it to the stream. A complementary ETR threshold template should be
created, that has the 'Only allow services listed in service template' check enabled.
This ETR threshold template should also be associated with the stream.
