Chapter 2 Sentry Alarm Control Terminal

This chapter describes the databases and configuration parameters for the Sentry Alarm Cont rol Termina l software. F or information about us ing the Sentry Alarm Control Te rminal, see the Sentry Alarm Control Terminal User Guide.

Overview

The Sentry Alarm Control Termin al is a versa tile UAP operator interface application that communic ates with on e or more Sentry OAI Monitor applicat ions (such as the Emergency Conference Monitor or the Annoyance Trap Monitor) using message protocols defined by these applications. Data received from the monitors is displayed in real time.
Multiple instances of the Sentry Alarm Control Terminal may be executed simultaneously from the system console and/or from one or more d u mb te rmi nal s connected to the UAP via RS-232. The content and format of displayed data is controlled through configuration files, allowing a high degree of customization. Each terminal can use a separate configuration, or configurations can be shared.
The Sentry Alarm Control Termina l uses text windows to display i nformatio n and allows the user to manipul ate window te xt from a keyb oard. Specia l functi on keys are defined to permit the user to quickly perform needed tasks. System messages are used to inform the user of er rors and othe r status chan ges. Dialog windo ws are displayed to show current configuration settings or when the program requires information from the user.
The following features are controlled through the configuration file set:
Window and Dialog Attributes
• Screen position
• Size in rows and columns
• Text colors and attributes (bold, blinking, etc.)
• Static text fields
• Dynamic text field formats
Real Time Message Display Attributes

Window Configuration Files

To create window configuration files:
1. Log in as apmadm to access the APM Administration Main Menu.
2. At the APM Administration Main Menu, type U to exit to UNIX.
3. At the UNIX prompt, type the following to change to the Sentry Alarm Control Terminal default configuration directory:
cd /oai/app/sentry/cfg/terminals/default
4. Make a feature configuration file for each Sentry Feature by copying the
“feature.def” file us ing the following command:
cp feature.def <name.cfg>
where <name.cfg> is a unique name assigned by you. For example,
cp feature.def fire.cfg
5. Use a UNIX editor (such as vi) to edit each feature configuration file, following the instructions contained in the file’s head er. For example,
vi fire.cfg
6. After the feature configuration files have been created and edited, use the following command to change to the Sentry Alarm Control Terminal configuration directory:
cd /oai/app/sentry/cfg/terminals
7. Use a UNIX editor (such as vi) to edit the Default Master Configuration file (Mdefault.cfg). Add the full path of each feature configuration file to the list within the Master Configuration file. For example,
vi Mdefault.cfg

Refer to the next section, Configuration Parameters on page 16 and Feature
Window Configuration on page 29 for more information about configuration
param eters .
NDA-30080 Revision 1.0 Page 15
Sentry Alarm Control Terminal Sentry Installation Guide

Configuration Parameters

The Sentry Alarm Control Terminal application uses configuration parameters defined in configuration files found in the “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/terminals” directory. The following sections describe the formats and functionality of these files.

Master Configuration File

When a Sentry Alarm Control Terminal is started it will determine which UNIX tty device it is using (t ty01, tty02, etc.). It will then look f or a master config uration file in the “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/terminals” directory that is associated with the tty device (“/oai/app/sentry/cfg/terminals/Mtty01.cfg”, “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/ terminals/Mtty02.cfg”, etc.).
If a master configuration file has not been created for this tty then the file “Mdefault.cfg” is used by default. Ea ch ma ster confi gurati on fi le co nta ins a list of configuration file paths. A subdirectory is normally created to hold the configuration fil es associat ed with th e default c onfiguration a nd each tt y (“oai/app/ sentry/cfg/terminals/default/”, “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/terminals/tty01/”, etc.).
The master configuration file can lis t files that are lo cated in different directories, allowing different tty devices to share configuration files. Each master configuration file contains a complete path for the following configuration files:
db.cfg
The data buffer configuration file (
See, Data Buffer Configuration File on page 17
).
init.cfg
The initialization configuration file (
See, Initialization Configuration File on page 21
