| − | ==== VSOP Icons ====
| |
| − | Create two icon sets (the icons used in this example is created in PowerPoint):
| |
| − | 1 - The GPD Icons used for the ICX statuses:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example3.png|thumb|left|200px]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | Navigate to the Iconsets menu and click Add, then choose GPD:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example2.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Click Icon Sets <br> 2: Click Add <br> 3: Select GPD]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | Add your four custom icons as GPD state 0-3:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example4.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Give the Icon Set a name <br> 2: Click Add and select GPD state (0-3) <br> 3: Open image definition window <br> 4: Upload custom image <br> 5: Uncheck image stretching (if needed)]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2 - The Node Icon used to show if the Operator is online with the Operational IP address or not:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example5.png|thumb|left|200px]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | Navigate to the Iconsets menu and click Add, then choose Node:

| − | [[File:IPHA example6.png|thumb|left|500px|Adding Node Icon Set]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | Add your two custom icons as Node state 0-1:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example7.png|thumb|left|500px|Adding custom icons]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== VSOP Map ====
| |
| − | Navgigate to the Map pages menu and add a custom background:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example8.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Click Map pages <br> 2: Click Add <br> 3: Give the Map a name <br> 4: Load the image to be used as a background <br> 5: Adjust aspect ratio]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== VSOP Startup script ====
| |
| − | If the VSOP is started after the IPHA monitor scripts have already run in the ICX-AlphaCom Event Handler, the status is unknown for the VSOP, so a startup script is needed the force the Event Handler to resend the status:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example9.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Click Menu <br> 2: Click Global Settings <br> 3: Enable Startup script <br> 4: Click the three dots to open the editor <br> 5: Add a script to start a 10 second timer]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | App.STE ("$ST L101 W100 L991");
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== VSOP Filter ====
| |
| − | In order to catch the custom parameters sent from the Event Handler we need a filter, and this filter must be tied to an Intercom station.
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example10.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Click Filter sets <br> 2: Click Add <br> 3: Select Station]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | Create a custom filter:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example11.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Give the filter a name <br> 2: Select '''On Custom params''' <br> 3: Enter a text to be shown in the VSOP Journal <br> 4: Enter the script]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | int n1 = App.Params.Get("cp1", 0);
| |
| − | int n2 = App.Params.Get("cp2", 0);
| |
| − | App.SetGPDState("Primary", n1, true, true);
| |
| − | App.SetGPDState("Secondary", n2, true, true);
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ''Primary'' and ''Secondary'' refers to the name of the GPD's as set here:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example12.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Select the GPD <br> 2: Click Selected Object in the menu <br> 3: Enter ''Primary'' as Source name. <br> Repeat for the ''Secondary'' GPD, but with ''Secondary'' as Source name.]]
| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Adding devices to VSOP ====
| |
| − | Add two GPD devices, one Node device and one Station device.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Right click the Node device and select the custom NodeStatus Icon Set.
| |
| − | *Right click the GPD devices and select the GPD custom Icon Set.
| |
| − | *Right click the station (''dir no 9600'') and select the custom station filter made for redundant server monitoring.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Place the icons on the map by drag and drop.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Monitoring Redundant Power supplies ===
| |
| − | The Power Supplies can be monitored, and faults and warnings can be logged.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here is a description on how to set up monitoring so the redundant power supply statuses can be viewed in VSOP.

| |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== AlphaPro Event ====
| |
| − | In AlphaPro configure the two TKIS-2 kits which receive the inputs from the Redundancy module as ''9901 Primary'' and ''9902 Secondary''. Put them both in a UDP group (UDP2 is used in this example), and create this event:
| |
| − | [[File:IPHA example14.png|thumb|left|500px|Redundant power supply monitoring event]] | |
| − | <br style="clear:both;" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | Action commands:
| |
| − | ''@*d1 M7F03 L(1)9901 U0 W%chg(1,0) W%sev(1) W0 W0 W0 "PSU%1.nam\t %1.nam\t"''
| |
| − | ''IF %chg(1,0)''
| |
| − | ''IF %op(%sev(1),=,1)''
| |
