Events and Alarms

Events and alarms are a basic concept of any Monitoring System. They are used to inform operators about the thinks happens in their environment. Our built-in Event handling consist of different parts:

  • Event are create from devices, users or from the backend processes
  • All events are stored in the event database, by default for 1 year
  • Access to the actual or historical events via Webclient or API
  • Event notification Add-Ons sending selected events to external entities (e.g. via E-Mail)

Events have different levels of severity, ranging from informative to warning, error, and critical alarms. They are propagated through the system from the lowest level to the overall system state.The following drawing shows this information flow:

At the end operators will be informed live on different ways:

  • visually and/or acoustic
  • by sending notifications to external systems

But of course, the events can also be evaluated afterwards with the Event Report window:

Standalone M&C

standalone M&C system
  • all-in-one server runs all services
  • monitors and controls all equipment
  • serves web client to users
  • in a ground station or on vehicles

Teleport M&C

M&C systems for teleport
  • one MNC server per uplink
  • load sharing between MNC servers to handle hundreds devices
  • easy maintenance and update of each uplink
  • one Central server for database and web access
  • for medium to big size teleports with high demands on availability

Network Management

Network Management System
  • worldwide distributed MNC servers
  • MNC servers are on the edge, near to the controlled equipment
  • one Central server at the headquarter for databases and operator access
  • but local control at each site also possible
  • remote connection via any kind of TCP/IP network (VPN or Leased Line)
