DialOnClear

Controls whether acknowledged alarms, whose condition has returned to normal on site, should be dialed out to operators, notifying them when the alarm has been cleared.

  • If set to 0 (default), then the VTScada Alarm Notification System will not alert designated operators when an alarm has returned to normal.
  • If set to 1, then the VTScada Alarm Notification System will call out to designated operators when an alarm has returned to normal.

Default: DialOnClear = 1

 

  • If DialCancelOnNormal is set and the alarm goes normal, records are removed from the notify list. Otherwise they are left on.
  • If DialCancelOnAck is set and the alarm is acknowledged, records are removed from the notify list.
  • If DialOnActive is set, and an alarm goes active, or becomes unacknowledged, it is added to the notify list.
  • If DialOnClear is set and the alarm goes normal, records are added to the notify list.
  • Active alarm records on the notify list are not resent to contacts who have already been notified once.
  • Normal alarm records on the notify list are only sent to contacts who have received an active notification.
  • After a single pass through the roster contact list, all records that are not on the Unacknowledged list (including any "Normal" records) are removed from the Notify list, unless the EnableRosterListRepeat setting is TRUE.
  • "Being notified" means that an email or SMS text message has been successfully sent to you, unless "Continue Roster Sequence" is checked. It does not guarantee that you have received it, because we have no control over the external network. For voice calls, if the contact logs in, a call is considered as having been notified.
