Alarm Panel Subscriptions: Managing

You can set up subscriptions in Tracer Ensemble so that the system receives alarms according to selected notification classes from specified equipment. A single subscription can contain multiple panels and a number or range of notification classes.

Note:  Many devices do not support all of the alarm notification classes, or they may already be at the maximum number subscriptions for a particular class.  There is no way in Tracer Ensemble to know in advance that a class is unavailable, but you will see an error message if you attempt to subscribe to unavailable classes. The alarm subscriptions table accurately reflects which alarm notification classes are successfully subscribed. If you have completed the steps below, and an alarm notification class is absent from the table, it was unavailable for subscription.

 

To set up a subscription:

  1. In the header, select Actions and Settings |Panel Alarm Subscriptions.
  2. Select panel names from the list and click Subscribe. The Subscribe to Panel Alarm page appears.
  3. Specify which notification classes you would like to subscribe to in the Classes field. You can specify each class individually, separated by commas (1, 3, 9), indicate a range using a hyphen (11-13, which includes 11, 12, and 13), or use a combination (1, 3, 9, 11-13).
  4. Click Save. You will be returned to the updated Manage Tracer Ensemble Alarm Subscriptions page.

 

To edit a subscription:

  1. In the header, select Actions and Settings |Panel Alarm Subscriptions.
  2. Select panel names from the list and click Edit. The Subscribe to Panel Alarm page appears.
  3. In the Classes field, edit the numbers so that they represent the notification classes you want to subscribe to.
  4. Click Save. On the Manage Tracer Ensemble Alarm Subscriptions page, the notification classes that were successfully subscribed to will appear in the Subscriptions column for the selected panels.

 

To delete subscriptions:

  1. In the header, select Actions and Settings | Panel Alarm Subscriptions.
  2. From the list, select panel names and click UnSubscribe. A confirmation window appears.
  3. Read and respond to the confirmation window. "None" will appear in the Subscriptions column for the selected panels on the Manage Tracer Ensemble Alarm Subscriptions page.
