Alarm Monitor

Introduction

The Alarm Monitor is a component of the decoder software. Although it is a separate application, it is only
useful when used in conjunction with the WAVECOM software. The Alarm Monitor can monitor all data out-
put from text modes of the WAVECOM decoder, and produce alarms for user configured messages. An
alarm produces an alert (with optional audio alert), and logs the message to a file.

The Alarm Monitor can be started directly from the decoder using the View/WAVECOM Alarm Monitor
menu item.

The Alarm Monitor performs three basic functions:

 Save text data: All received text data will be saved in a text file (*.txt) located anywhere on the

network.

 Save alarm data: It is possible to set so-called Alarm strings. The received text data will be

scanned for those strings line by line. When a match is found, the text lines that include at least
one alarm string will immediately be saved in a separate text file (*.alm) located anywhere on the
network.

The detected text line will also be presented on the Alarm Monitor display.

If selected an audible alert will be generated.

 Forwarding of the alarm text: If enabled each message raising an alarm will be saved in another

text file (*.sms) anywhere on the network. This function allows the message to be forwarded via
SMS (Short Message Service). The alarm monitor can not perform the sending of the SMS mes-
sage - a third party product is required for this.

The Configuration menu is used to configure the hardware, and to customize the Alarm Monitor display
to any font size and color.

Connect to any decoder on your network.

All settings are automatically saved. The Alarm Monitor will automatically use these settings the next time
it is started.
