Escalation Tab
The alarm escalation function constantly monitors all generated alarms that have
their escalation options enabled. Escalation level value range is from 0 to 10,
where
0 indicates a non-escalated alarm.
The alarm escalation feature provides for two different conditions when an alarm
may be escalated:
 If an alarm is generated for a specific alarm category and there are currently
no operators logged into the P2000 that have privileges to receive alarms for
that category.
 If an alarm is generated and remains pending for the configured escalation
timeout period.
If either of these conditions occurs, that alarm will be regenerated with an elevated
escalation level. The escalation level will be incremented by the configured
escalation increment value. This process may be repeated multiple times until a high
enough escalation level is reached that matches the privileges of a currently logged
in operator. If no operators are logged into the P2000, the alarm will be regenerated
until the maximum escalation level is reached, and then no further action will be
taken.
After an escalated alarm has been completed, the next occurrence of that alarm is
created with no escalation level.
Enable – Select this check box to enable alarm escalation.
Escalation Repeat – Select this check box to allow for escalation to occur more than
once for the alarm. For example, if the Escalation Timeout is set to 30 minutes, and
the Escalation Increment is set to 2, every half an hour the escalation value for
alarms remaining in pending state will go up by 2 until it reaches the maximum
value. If this check box is not selected, escalation can occur only once for this alarm.
Escalation based upon visibility – When this check box is selected, the alarm will be
immediately escalated by a defined increment if, at the time of occurrence, no
operator able to receive alarms from this Alarm Category is logged in.
