obixDriver-ObixAlarmManager
This view discovers, adds, and manages alarm feeds from a selected ObixClient or R2ObixClient. It is the default view of the Alarms device extension (ObixAlarmDeviceExt, R2AlarmDeviceExt) under these devices.
Figure 19. Obix Alarm Manager view
To view, double-click the Alarms extension under the node in the Nav tree, or right-click and select .
Although not a standard view in the driver architecture, this view is similar to typical point and history manager views. As in those views, it provides a Discovered pane (if in Learn mode) and a Database pane. In the Discovered pane, objects with a value in the Feed column are valid alarm sources, and can be added as alarm imports (ObixAlarmImport, depending on parent device type).
Discovered pane
By default, these columns appear in the Discovered and Database panes of the Obix Alarm Manager view.
Discovered pane columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Obix Name | Reports the name of the object on the oBIX server. |
| Href | Reports the URI of the object on the oBIX server. |
| Feed | Reports the lobby URI of the object on the oBIX server, with .alarm suffix to denote a valid alarm feed.
|
NOTE: Discovery caches results. If the server database is modified after a discovery has occurred (or while a discovery is in progress),
the discovery pane may be inaccurate. Click the Discover button again to clear the cache.
Database pane
Database pane columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Reports the name of the alarm import descriptor, often left the same as its oBIX Name. |
| Href | Reports the URI of the object on the oBIX server. |
| Alarm Class | Reports the local station’s AlarmClass used to process native alarms received via this alarm feed. |
| Subscription | Reflects whether the alarm import is Subscribed, Unsubscribed, or Pending subscription. |
