• Card LED
This column allows configuration of the contribution of selected individual alarms to the status LED located
on the front card edge. The Card LED status is shown at the bottom of the alarm tree in the Status.Name
column.
• Overall Alarm
This column allows configuration of the contribution of each individual alarm to the Overall Alarm
associated with this card. The Overall Alarm is shown in the upper left corner of the iControl panel, and
also appears at the bottom of the Status/Name column..
• GSM Contribution
This column allows configuration of the contribution of each individual alarm to the GSM Alarm Status
associated with this card. GSM is a dynamic register of all iControl system alarms, and is also an alarm
provider for external applications. The possible values for this contribution are related to the Overall alarm
contribution:
• If the Overall alarm contribution is selected as Disabled, the GSM alarm contribution can be set to any
available value
• If the Overall alarm contribution is selected as any level other than disabled, the GSM contribution is
forced to follow the Overall Alarm.
Levels associated with these alarms:
The pulldown lists may contain some or all of the following options:
The alarm makes no contribution (black icon)
The alarm is of minor importance (yellow icon)
The alarm is of major importance (orange icon)
The alarm is of critical importance (red icon)
The alarm exists but has no effect (used for text and composite alarms)
Shortcut: if you click in one of the columns beside a major heading in the Status/Name column (where
there is no pulldown shown), you will open an “invisible” pulldown that lets you assign a level to all alarms
in that section of the column simultaneously.
Log Events
iControl maintains a log of alarm events associated with the card. The log is useful for troubleshooting and
identifying event sequences. Click in the checkbox to enable logging of alarm events for each individual
alarm.
At the bottom of the window are several other controls
Overall follow LED
Click in the checkbox to force the Overall alarm to be
identical to the Card LED status
• All Overall alarms for which there is a Card LED
alarm will be forced to match the Card LED alarm
• All Overall Alarms for which there is no Card LED

A warning box will open allowing you to confirm the
action, since it will result in changes to the configuration
and there is no undo function.
