Action and Event Tables
91
Parameters
Action routines typically have parameters associated with them. A parameter may be a phone
number, a pager number, or other information used by the Action Routine.
Comments
The comment may give more information about the alarm. With some Action Routines, when the
ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus processes an alarm, the comment is sent along with it.
8.4.1 Alarm Matching Criteria
When the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus receives an alarm, it follows a specific procedure when it
searches the Action Table for a match to an alarm (event). Three passes are made.
1.
In the first pass, the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus attempts to match the alarm from the first
character to the first space. That is, if it received an alarm ERR000 Reset, it would try to find
ERR000 in the Action Table and then take whatever action is specified.
2.
If the first search fails to turn up a match, it searches for a record describing a range of
alarms that includes the alarm it received. For example, if it received an alarm ERR004, it
might match this to ERR000 - 005, as it appears in the Action Table. Such ranges can be
entered into the Action Table to cover a multiple of alarm types.
3.
Finally, if there is no match using the first two criteria, it searches for a match to the
mnemonic up to the first digit. That is, it drops the digits and just tries to match the mnemonic
by itself. For example, if it received the alarm ERR006, but only ERR000, ERR010 - 020,
and ERR appear in the Action Table, it matches the ERR in ERR006 to ERR in the Action
Table.
In summary, there is a three pass lookup on Action Table:
•
Pass 1 - Exact Match (up to first space)
•
Pass 2 - Range Match
•
Pass 3 - Exact Match (up to first non-alpha)
Following are some examples of the alarm matching procedure.
