Alarm Configuration

To configure the Ping-No-Answer Alarm, you must access the RSM-8R8 command

mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. Up to 54 Ping-No-

Answer IP Addresses can be defined. The Add Ping-No-Answer menu is used to define

the following parameters for each new Ping-No-Answer IP Address:

• TriggerEnable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When Disabled, this

alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On)

Notes:

• ResendDelay: Determines how long the RSM-8R8 Series unit will wait to resend

an email message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to send the

notification was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes)

• NotifyUponClear: When this item is enabled, the RSM-8R8 Series unit will send

additional notification when the situation that caused the alarm has been corrected.

For example, when Notify Upon Clear is enabled, the RSM-8R8 Series unit will send

initial notification when it detects that a Ping command has failed, and then send a

second notification when it determines that the IP address is again responding to

the Ping command. (Default = On)

• EmailMessage: Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm. (Default = On)

• Address1,2,and3: These parameters are used to select which of the three email

addresses defined via the "Email Messages" menu (see Section 5.9.11) will receive

the email alarm notification messages generated by this alarm. The Address

parameters can be used to select one, or any combination of the addresses defined

via the Email Messages menu. (Default = All On)

• Subject: This parameter is used to define the text that will appear in the "Subject"

field for all email notification messages that are generated by this alarm.
