13. DONE. Your Channels are now set up and ready for use. When an event is
generated by the system or a zone it can now be sent to a Channel for
reporting.
Example
In this example we have multi-path, prioritised/selective event reporting via three
reporting paths – two control rooms and an email address. These are grouped
into “Channel Group 1”.
All alarms are reported to Control Room 1 and 2. Control room 1 has a backup
receiver. This requires setting up 3 channels. These channels are labelled on the
diagram.
When Channel 1/4/2 receives an alarm message, xGen checks that the
channel’s Event List includes alarm messages and then attempts to deliver the
message via that channel.
When Channel 1/4/2 receives a low battery report, it is not actioned because
Event List 1 does not include the “low battery” event.
Low priority alerts such as opening and closings, low batteries, and autotest
reports, are sent via Channel 3 as an email to a building manager.
When Channel 3 receives the alarm event it takes no further action because
Event List 2 does not include the “alarm” event.
