OBSERVER CENTRAL MANAGEMENT CONSOLE
 The
CMC is a central software console for one or more Observer Monitoring
Systems. The software resides on a dedicated PC (workstation) and
monitors the state of any number of remote Observer systems via
direct connection, modem or TCP/IP network.
Each remote Observer (or group of Observers) is represented by
an on-screen icon. The state of the remote Observer is depicted
by the colour and state of the icon.
Red - Indicating an Alarm has been received
Blue - Indicating a possible dead system (deadman
timer)
Green - Indicating that it has recovered after
previously being dead.
When an alarm message is received by the CMC, the attached site
name is used to determine which icon is responsible for reporting.
The icon or PC screen is then made to flash (red), the alarm is
logged, an audible alarm is generated (beep or individual .wav file)
and any other specified action is taken (e.g. centralised paging,
send a text message or email, execute a program etc.)
Double clicking any of the icons will connect directly to the Observer
specified.
CMC Features
- Multiple CMC's can be cross-linked to update alarm status (Each
CMC can be a master or a slave and each reflects the status of
the others).
- Each Observer is monitored for correct operation by the CMC
- generating a local and/or pager alarm if any individual unit
fails.
- In the event of an alert being received various actions can
take place.
i.e.
- Send message to pager or mobile phone
- Play a .wav file
- Execute a program
- Place the message in a Windows NT event log.
- Send message as email
