Customizing the Alarm Page
Using the alarm page toolbar you can create a variety of log listings. Listings can be limited by
priority, status, type, time, and area.
Alarms can be sorted by Priority. Alarms are color coded to provide easy recognition of higher
priority alarms. Priority color coding applies to all of the logged alarm items as follows:
RED High Priority Very important alarm, Should be serviced immediately.
YELLOW Medium Priority Important alarm, Should be given attention soon.
GREEN Pop-up Alarm Simple notification of alarm condition.
WHITE Event Non critical events such as logons
To sort Alarms by priority select the check box that corresponds to that priority. To display all
alarms regardless of priority press the All button.
List Options
The buttons in the List Options box changes the types of alarms displayed:
Pressing the Log button lists the sequential log of all the alarms and system events that have
occurred since the log was last cleared. It gives their current state (active or acknowledged), the
type of event, and when it occurred. The alarm area and the message are noted too. Active
alarms are highlighted. Other events (logons, control transfers, initializations, etc.) are also
included in this listing.
Pressing the Active button lists all the alarms that are current alarms which have not been
acknowledged (i.e. they are in the active state). The size of this list will vary as alarms are
activated and cleared.
Pressing the Unack button lists all the alarms that have not yet been acknowledged whether they
are current alarms or not.
Pressing the Current button lists the alarms that have occurred and the alarm condition still
exists. These alarms may or may not have been acknowledged by a user. For an alarm to be
removed from this list it must be both acknowledged by a user and the alarm condition must no
longer be present in the system.
Pressing the Disabled button displays a list of the alarm conditions that are available in POS but
are currently not set up to log alarm data.
Pressing the List All button lists all the possible alarms on the POS system that are configured to
cause alarm data to be logged, their current status and their priority.
As noted above, you can sort the alarm listings by Event or by Time. These can be used with
any List Option with the exception of the Log itself, which is by definition ordered sequentially by
time. By default the alarms in all list options are sorted by time. Press the Sort button in the
Event box to sort alarms by the alarm event. Press the Sort button in the Time box to display
alarms sorted sequentially by time.
Alarms can also be organized by Type or Event. Use the dropdown list and select a specific
Type or Area to display the alarms sorted by type of alarm or by area where the alarm originated.
