External Alarm Provider
Once you have declared a device (e.g. an iControl application server, an EdgeVision quality
of experience monitoring system, another multiviewer) as an external alarm provider to
your multiviewer system, any alarms registered with this device’s GSM, in addition to the
alarms generated by the current multiviewer system, can contribute to your monitoring
and control purposes.
See Managing Alarm Providers on page 144.
Lookup Service
Miranda’s monitoring and control products implement a lookup service for discovery and
information sharing over a network. A program on one device can use a lookup service to
obtain information from remote applications or devices, including alarm-related
information from a device’s GSM. By default, every multiviewer has a lookup service and can
therefore be considered a lookup server. For example, before you can use an RCP-200
control panel to operate your monitor wall, the multiviewer must be specified as a lookup
server in the RCP-200’s configuration (see
Specifying Lookup Servers for the RCP-200, on
page 403).
Alarm Debouncing
Alarm debouncing allows the filtering of false alarms. Two parameters can be calibrated:
the time required for an alarm event to be present before the system considers it to be valid
(to avoid false triggering of alarms), and the time required for an alarm state to be normal
before the system actually clears the alarm (to avoid false releasing of alarms).
An alarm is triggered when a probe is in a continuous error state for the number of seconds
specified in the Set duration debouncing parameter. By default, the alarm status will revert
to normal as soon as the probe returns a normal state. To delay the releasing of an alarm,
Nonexistent Blue Alarm that has been removed (or was never added): It can
happen if the alarm reference in XEdit does not exist on the
multiviewer
— for example, if an input card is removed from a
Kaleido-X multiviewer. All associated alarms will disappear from
the GSM and become disabled on the multiviewer.
Disabled Black No alarm assigned to the status indicator: Alarm exists but is
disabled at the source by the user. The Kaleido-X software has the
ability to deactivate some alarms on the multiviewer hardware
itself.

IMPORTANT
iControl application server requirement
In the case of an iControl system involving multiple application
servers, there will typically be only one or two of the servers with a
lookup service enabled. To qualify as an external alarm provider, an
iControl application server must have its lookup service enabled (i.e. it
must be a lookup server). Refer to the iControl User Guide for more
information.
