5 Configuration

The imported senders (recording systems, encoders, decoders) are listed on the configu-ration tab Sender. On the following configuration tabs messages can be individually con-figured, organized into message profiles and assigned to receivers. In addition, general settings for the server database can be made.

5.1 Message SettingsThe Message settings tab includes the standard message profile. It is assigned as the Default processing to the receivers which are not configured with an own receiver type.The settings of the individual messages can be changed directly in the standard over-view. However, it is advisable to create own Processing types (message profiles) which are assigned via Receiver types to the different receivers (workstations) in a SeMSy® III system. Messages can be edited directly in the default list in the tab Messages settings if no different message profiles (Processing types) are needed. If different message profiles for different receivers are required first a new processing type must be created on the tab Processing types. The messages can then be configured there according to the requirements.

5.1.1 Create A Processing TypeThe behavior of messages can be configured individually on a processing type (message profile).In order to create a new processing type proceed as follows:

Select the tab Processing types. Click Add in order to open the dialog Add new processing type.

Fig. 5-1

Enter a Name for the processing type. Confirm with OK.

The newly created processing type is selected automatically:

In order to switch between different processing types, these can be selected from the drop down menu.



Drop down menu

Fig. 5-2

The messages can now be configured as described below.

Delete A Processing TypeProcessing types can be removed.

5.2.3 Apply FiltersThe Filter tab allows to filter messages of the selected receiver type in number and time. Thus, a maximum upper limit (default: 50) of message entries can be set and the time range (default: Today) can be accurate defined for incoming messages.In addition, the various message states can enabled (default: all inactive) and the refresh interval (default: 10 seconds) can be adapted to the requirements.

Select the tab Filter.

Fig. 5-15



Number Of Message Entries Change the Max. number of entries with the arrow buttons which should be displayed in the module PGuard on a workstation (=receiver) at the same time as the top list if required.

In this way, a clear message list (top list) can be achieved with this limitation of message entries in the module “PGuard” on a workstation. If the maximum number of entries is reached to displayed messages in the top list, the new messages automatically replace the last (oldest) message entries. However, in the PGuard7 database all messages are stored permanently and can be re-displayed for evaluation by the operator with a database query at any time.

Set Time Range Select in the Time range area the required option and make the appropriate settings:

The messages of the current day will be displayed in the receiver type with the default setting “Today”. The “Time period” option allows to define a very precise period of time and, for example, only to activate a receiver-type for a specific time length and also automatically switch it off again. The messages of the last n-days (including the current day) will be displayed with the option “Last days” for the receiver type.

Message States Activate the required message states for the receiver type in the section Message state filter which should be displayed on the corresponding receivers (workstations).

Messages in inactive message states are not displayed on this receiver type. In this way, messages can be filtered using this option by their state for the display on receivers. In addition to the three predefined message states (“New”, “Confirmed”, “Auto Confirmed”), own states can be created (see section “Message States” on page 26).

Refresh Interval Modify the Refresh interval (in seconds) for the receive of message list updates on the relevant receivers with the arrow buttons if required.

Depending on the network and the number of receivers can be a very short update inter-val (for example, one second) lead to a high system load.



5.2.4 Activate MessagesMessages that should be received in general with the receiver type can be enabled or disabled on the tab Message filter.
