Combining different types of alarms
Alarm class mapping allows you to set up the system so that you can import alarms from a variety of alarm classes and have
them display, link, and sound in a common manner. You do this by creating alarm class definitions and associating (mapping)
existing alarm classes to the definitions.
Prerequisites: You are viewing the alarm console.
- Click .You can also access this window from the Alarm Console window inside the Options window.The system displays the Alarm Class Mapper window.
- To create an alarm mapper definition, click New in the upper pane.The system displays the New window.
- Fill in the definition properties and click OK.
- In the upper pane, select a definition.
- In the lower pane, select the alarm class to associate with the definition and click Add Mapping.The system displays the Map Alarm Class window.
- For the selected
Alarm Class, select theDefinitionand click OK.
NOTE: The icons, hyperlinks, and sounds in the alarm mapper definition do not override those that are assigned in the alarm extension
itself. If these parameters are assigned in both the alarm extension and in the alarm class mapper definition, the alarm class
mapper definition parameters are ignored.
