Defining State Thresholds

To define a threshold:

1. Double-click the Camera Pods, Sensor Pods, or Scanned Devices icon.

2. Click Sensors... to open the Sensor Configuration window.

3. To define a threshold, select a sensor from the Sensors list. Defined thresholds for the sensor, if

any, appear in the Thresholds list.

4. Click Add... to open the Select Threshold Type window.

5. Select the threshold to define and click OK. The Add Threshold window opens.

6. Type a name for the threshold in Threshold name.

7. Specify threshold settings in the Basic tab:

a. For an Alert State For Time Threshold, select an Alert State. In Time Allowed in Alert

State, enter the number of seconds that the reported value can be in the Alert State before

an alert condition is generated.

b. For Alert State Threshold, select an Alert State that causes an alert condition.

c. For a State Mismatch For Time Threshold, select a Normal State for the device. In Time

Allowed in Alert State, enter the number of seconds that the reported value can be in a

state other than the Normal State before an alert condition is generated.

d. For a State Mismatch Threshold, select the normal operational state for the device from

Normal State.

8. Check Enabled to enable the threshold. If this checkbox is not checked, the alert threshold is

saved but is not active.

9. In Threshold-Specific Addresses, click Add... to enter the e-mail addresses of personnel to

whom e-mail alert notifications should be sent if this threshold generates an alert condition. Click

OK.

If you installed an SMS-capable modem you can deliver alert notification to SMS-enabled

devices by entering threshold-specific addresses for them in the following format:

sms:sms_device_address

where sms_device_address is the telephone number or e-mail address associated with the SMS-

enabled device (for example, “sms:5123334444” or “sms:[email protected]”).

Threshold-specific notifications are sent only if your appliance has one or more Alert

Actions defined that use the Send E-Mail Message alert notification method and

Include Addresses from Thresholds is checked. For more information, see “Alert

Action” on page 29 and “Advanced View: Creating Alert Actions” on page 100.
