8.2 Overview
The ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus can monitor and report alarm conditions sent by a PBX or other
device connected to a host port of the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus. Alarm conditions monitored
by the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus and the actions to be taken are listed in a database called
the Action Table. When the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus receives the alarm condition, or event, it
compares the alarm with the alarms listed in the Action Table. If a match is found, the associated
actions are automatically executed.
Actions taken can include paging, delivery to an alarm catcher and canceling alarms. If the
requested action cannot be taken at that time or is scheduled for another time, the event and
requested action are listed in the Event Table. The Event Table lists all pending actions. When
the action is processed, it is removed from the Event Table.
8.3 Working with Action Tables
To send messages based on alarms generated by a PBX, the Environmental Manager, etc., an
Action Table must be created in the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus. The ASG Guard/ASG Guard
Plus compares all alarm messages against the alarm list in the Action Table. If a match is found,
the associated action is taken.
When building an Action Table, you should first consider the following things:
1.
The alarms to be monitored.
2.
The actions to be taken when an alarm is received.
