Configuration 127 Log Manager Four types of system logs are stored on the Main CPU. They are the Switching, Operator, Alarm, and Video Loss logs. In the case of a redundant CPU, it may be necessary to view logs from each CPU, since these logs are not synchronized. The logs must be downloaded from each CPU in order to view their content. The logs, which are stored on each CPU separate ly, may be using the same filenames. It may be necessary to rename the files to reflect the appropriate CPU within Windows Explorer. Currently these files cannot be renamed within MPU955A Admin Console. These logs are useful for troubl eshooting and security purposes. 1. Select the Logs command from the T ools menu, and then select System
Configuration 128 2. From the drop-down box, select the log type you wish to view: Switching, Operator, Alarm, or Video Loss Information given in each log type is as follows. OPERATOR LOG DATE: YYYY MMM DD format DAY: Day of the week TIME: AM or PM (12 hour format) SCTL: System controller ID on which the specified operator established an event OPER: ID of the operator that performed an event EVENT: Operator’s action performed toward a system controller: logon or logoff performed by an operator; timeout; logoffnop - automatic logoff due to lack of operation; logoffsys - automatic logoff due to an error, system reboot, etc. ALARM LOG DATE: YYYY MMM DD format DAY: Day of the week TIME: AM or PM (12 hour format) ALMID: The ID of the alarm that established the event. TRIGGER: The alarm source that generated the alarm.

CPU section
4. Click the Explore CPU button
Configuration 130 The right side of the window will display all logs that pertain to the selected type that exist on the selected CPU. Remember, for a redundant CPU system, since these logs are not synchronized, it may be necessary to view and retrieve logs from each of the two CPUs. 5. Highlight the desired log file from the list and click the “GET from CPU” button This acts in the same manner as the database manager, as it will copy the log from the specified CPU onto the MPU955A Admin Console computer’s hard drive, displaying the selected file on the left side of the window. Double-click on a highlighted log in the CPU directory section of the window to retrieve the selected log from the specified CPU. 6. Click the Select button to open a text window to view the selected log Double-click on a highlighted log file to open and view the log file contents.
Configuration 131 7. Use the drop-down boxes in the filter section to customize the view If more than one filter is applied, an “AND” and “OR” option button appear to allow you to focus your search. Filters are case sensitive and “LIKE” filters allow use of wildcard characters such as ? (which represents any single character) and * (which represents a string of any characters). 8. Click the Query button The system log report will filter the records according to the filter selections. 9. Click the print button to print the report as filtered 10. To delete logs from the MPU955A Admin Console computer’s hard drive, exit back to the Log Manager window, highlight the desired log, and click the Delete button 11. Click EXIT to return to the main menu
Configuration 132 AC Log The AC Log captures information for actions performed within MPU955A Admin Console. Only administrators with access levels 1 and 2 may view this log. An administrator may view the information presented, or use the filters provided to customize a report. 1. Select the Logs command from the Tools menu, and then select MPU955A Admin Console An administrator may view the report as shown and print it, or use the filter drop-down boxes to customize the report. The AC Log report consists of the following: Date: YYYY MMM DD format Day: Day of the week Time: HH:MM:SS AM or PM (12 hour format) AC_User: MPU955A Admin Console user logon name of user who performed displayed action
Configuration 133 Adm_File: Configuration (.adm) file in which the specified action was performed. Category: Section in which the action was performed. (Alarms, alarm targets, cameras, camera positions, controllers, controller sequences, group presets, group sequences, I/O ports, GX devices, monitors, operators, operator classes, and tour sequences) Action: Specific task that was performed. (ADM configuration file: get, put, new, copy, rename, delete, backup, restore. Rec ord: add/edit, delete. PERMission: edit. ACCT (account): add/edit, delete. SYS tem file: get, pull, backup, restore. Login. Logout.) 2. Use the drop-down boxes in the filter section to customize the view If more than one filter is applied, an “AND” and “OR” option button appear to allow you to focus your search. Filters are case sensitive and “LIKE” filters allow use of wildcard characters such as ? (which represents any single character) and * (which represents a string of any characters). 3. Click the Query button The AC Log report will filter the records according to the filter selections. 4. Click the print button to print the log
Configuration 134 Areas An area is a grouping of monitors defined by an administrator when monitors are added to the system. See Monitors – Definition on page 90. Selecting the Area View command from the Tools menu brings up the area viewer. This viewer is available to all users. No modifications to components, tour sequences, group presets, or group sequences can be made from the Areas window. 1. Click on the down arrow to the right of the “Select an Area to View” drop- down menu
Configuration 135 2. Highlight the desired area This is an informational window only. An administrator or operator may view all components associated within a single area. Since at least one monitor must be assigned in each defined area, if any areas exist without at least one monitor assigned, an error message will appear. Defining at least one monitor in that area will eliminate this error. See Monitors – Definition on page 90.
Configuration 136 Account Manager The Account Manager categorizes MPU955A Admin Console users into four specific user levels. This section configures users (administrators) for MPU955A Admin Console, not to be confused with system operators (system controller operators). Initially only the default user account (admin) will be configured with no restrictions. This account cannot be deleted (for safety purposes) nor can the level be changed, but it is recommended that the user name be changed and a password be defined upon initial setup. 1. Select the Accounts… command from the Tools menu 2. Click the Add Record button 3. Fill in the MPU955A Admin Console new user’s name and password, and assign an access level
