By placing the mouse over the magnifying glass icon, a window appears which will display where a
device falls in the hierarchy of the ADVANCE system. It shows all of the device’s ancestors, similar to
the way the icons and fault indicators work while navigating using the hierarchal approach. In the
example above, the mouse is hovering over the icon for a Smart Station. In the list that is displayed, we
can see which PPI Group, Zone, Card, System, and Card Rack to which the station is operating.
The next column contains buttons that provide much more detail about a specific device or broadcast in
progress. If the status event is a fault, I/O Event, or EPL status event, pressing the button takes you to the
source device’s screen, where the most detailed status information about the device can be viewed.
The only exception to this navigation is when a Communication Fault is displayed. A Communication
Fault means that the device (or system) is not providing any status information. When a Communication
Fault occurs, the detailed information about a device is unavailable, so you will be prevented from
navigating to the device (or system) screen.
For broadcast events, the button displays either A LARM D ETAILS or P AGE D ETAILS . Pressing either of these
two buttons will display the Broadcast Details window, which is explained in further detail in the
following section.
For faults, the last column contains a button to acknowledge the fault. It works in the same way as the
ADVANCE Access Panel. If a fault is reported, but not acknowledged, the
MONITOR button at the top of
the screen will continue to blink as an alert.
You may also click the A CKNOWLEDGE A LL F AULTS to acknowledge all the faults in the list.
