RMS Administrator’s Guide
All parameters must be registered by the NetLinx system. The administrator
cannot add parameters from the RMS application console. The administrator can
modify Threshold Value, Comparison Operator, and Status Type for any
parameter. This provides the administrator with the ability to set their own
threshold and re-classify messages based on their facility. For instance, an
administrator can set the Video projector's "Lamp Hours" threshold to the
expected lamp life of a newly replaced lamp or change the "Device
Communicating" parameter from a "Control System Error" to a "Security" status
if the projector is in danger of being stolen.
Parameter Values
Status Type The status represents the type of problem a faulted
condition represents. Status Types include "Help
Request", "Maintenance Request",
"Room Communication Error", "Control System Error",
"Network Error", "Security", and "Equipment Usage."
For example, when "Lamp Hours" changes from an
un-faulted (not greater than 1000) to a faulted (greater
than 1000), this change represents a "Maintenance
Request" status that requires an AV technician to repair
the equipment. If the "Device Online" parameter changes
from "Online" to "Offline", this change could represent a
"Security" or "Control System Error" status.
These values are supplied during registration, but can be
modified by the administrator from the RMS application
console.
Reset Flag and Reset Value These values determine if and how the parameter can be
reset from the RMS application console. If the Reset Flag
is set, then the administrator can reset the value remotely.
When the administrator selects "Reset" from the console,
the Reset Value is copied to the Value and the faulted
condition is cleared. These values are useful for
parameters such as VCR "Run Time" which would be
manually reset when the VCR is cleaned.
Minimum and Maximum
Values
These values are used to restrict the range of the
threshold and reset values that the administrator can enter
on the RMS application console. These values would be
used when the parameter represents a value with a
bounded range, such as a Volume Level.
Enumeration List This value is used to restrict the range of the threshold and
reset values that the administrator can enter on the
RMS application console. This value would be used when
the parameter represents a value with a bounded list,
Power On and Power Off.
