Virtual alarm status is critical if selected alarms differ (XOR) — Choose this option to
have the contribution of the sub-alarms calculated using the XOR version of the alarm
logic tables. This causes the virtual alarm to reflect whether or not all of its sub-alarms
have the same status. If all sub-alarms are the same, the virtual alarm will be green.
Otherwise, it will be red.
For a more detailed description of the difference between these options, refer to
“Understanding the Alarm Logic Tables” in the iControl User Guide.
4In the Text logic section, determine what to include in this virtual alarm’s text attribute
by selecting one of the following three options:
Ignore texts — No text logic (default).
Concatenate texts — Concatenate the text attributes from all sub-alarms.
List errors — List the text attributes from the sub-alarms that are in error.
5 Select the alarm provider you wish to use from the list in the left-hand part of the GSM
alarm browser pane.
6 In the right-hand part of the alarm browser, select the alarms that are to be sub-alarms
of the new virtual alarm, and then click the large down arrow button to transfer them
to the table in the bottom half of the window.
7 The table displays various details about the sub-alarms you have selected, including
their contribution, which defines how a sub-alarm will pass its status on to the virtual
alarm. The default contribution value is Passthrough, which means the sub-alarm will
pass its status unaltered to the overall calculation of the virtual alarm.
It is possible to override the error status of sub-alarms when they are triggered. This is
useful when, for example, a device is only able to report a status of either normal
