7. ACTION AND EVENT
TABLES
What this Chapter Contains
The terminal server can monitor and report alarm conditions sent by a HP
server or other device connected to a host port of the terminal server.
Alarm conditions monitored by the terminal server and the actions to be
taken are listed in a database called the Action Table. When the terminal
server receives the alarm condition, or
event
, it compares the alarm with
the alarms listed in the Action Table. If a match is found, the associated
actions are automatically executed.
Actions taken can include paging, delivery to an alarm catcher and
canceling alarms. If the requested action cannot be taken at that time or
is scheduled for another time, the event and requested action are listed in
the
Event Table
. The Event Table lists all pending actions. When the
action is processed, it is removed from the Event Table.
