• User-Configurable Event or Graph: The User-Configurable Event or Graph provides a graphical representation of the type, location, and devices of the session.The graph is modified by selecting the possible options from the Type, Filter, and Duration lists.
  • The Type list consists of following options.
    • Events
    • System
    • Alarms
  • Based on the option selected in the Type selected, the Filter list changes. If the type is Events, the Filter list contains the following options:
    • Type (sorts all events based on the type of event)
    • Location (sorts all events based on the location of the event)
    • Device (sorts all events based on the device name)

    If the type is System, the Filter list contains the following options:

    • P1 (Blocker-level event count)
    • P2 (Critical-level event count)
    • P3 (High-level event count)
    • P4 (Medium-level event count)
    • P5 (Trivial-level event count)
    • P* (All Events P1-P5 Separated and Sorted counts)

    If the type is Alarms, the Filter list contains the following options:

    • Battery (Total number of Battery alarms per hour sorted by device name)
    • LOS (Total number of Loss of Signal alarms per hour sorted by device name)
    • RSSI (Total number of Network RR Signal alarms sorted by device name)
    • LQI (Total number of Network Quality alarms sorted by device name)
    • Alarm (Total number of Network Quality alarms sorted by device name)

  • The Duration list contains the number of days for which the data is recalled for sorting and illustration.
• Even Table: The Event Table provides a live view of the current status of all devices in the system. For each device, the table lists the location within the building or site, and the condition that triggered the event. Additionally, it provides the time stamp of the occurrence of the event (with events of interest identified in red). Specific high-level incidents, such as battery, LOS, RSSI, LQI, and alarm events are flagged for user or operator information and interaction.

Search Field

The operator can filter the contents of the Event field using the Search field. By entering a value in the Search field any entry in the table containing the value is shown and the remaining table entries are not shown.

Additionally, the Search field can be used to filter table contents based on color. For example, entering "red" in the Search field results in a list of all entries marked in red.

The Search field function also allows the user to find specific types of events quickly and easily if there are lots of entries in the table.
