CSX7000 Guide42 CyberSWITCHIf installations need unusual amounts of time (more than one second), use the Set Poll Intervalfrom the Functions Menu to extend the poll interval use by IES. The new poll interval is assignedto all marked sensors. (See page 38). If no IES is marked when this menu item is invoked, the newpoll interval is set for the currently highlighted IES only. The interval may range from 1 to 60seconds.Set Reboot TimeoutIf a processor module fails to respond to a request by the IES, the IES assumes that the processorhas been reset. The IES waits the amount of time specified by the “reboot timeout” for the processorto reboot and load the appropriate software. After this time period, if the device is still notresponding, the IES resets the processor. The default reboot timeout is 60 seconds.The observed reboot timeout is dependent upon the poll interval. After resetting a processor, theIES checks once per poll to determine if the time specified by the reboot timeout has elapsed, atwhich time the IES resumes monitoring the processor module activity. Therefore, the reboottimeout specified should be greater than the poll interval.To modify the reboot timeout, select Set Reboot Timeout from the Functions Menu. The new reboottimeout will be assigned to all marked sensors. (See page 38). If no IES is marked when this menuitem is invoked, the new reboot timeout is set for the currently highlighted IES only. Specify atimeout value in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds.Set Temperature ThresholdEach IES constantly monitors the temperature of the subsystem in which it resides. The currenttemperature is displayed on the IES Status Screen. If the temperature exceeds a maximumthreshold, an alarm is generated. The default temperature threshold is 50 degrees Celsius; werecommend a setting of 50 degrees if no air conditioning, and 40 degrees with air conditioning.To modify the maximum temperature threshold, select Set Temperature Threshold from theFunctions Menu. The new threshold is assigned to all marked sensors. (See page 38). If no IES ismarked when this menu item is invoked, the new threshold is set for the currently highlighted IESonly. Specify a temperature threshold from 1 to 70 degrees Celsius.Note: Temperature is monitored in degrees Celsius only. A conversion chart (from degreesCelsius to degrees Fahrenheit) is available through the Help Menu.Set Date and TimeThe date and time of the clock imbedded in the IES may be set to the date and time of the EMSmodule. Mark the IES, and then select the Set Date and Time option from the Functions Menu. TheIES clock is used to time-stamp alarms.To determine the current setting of the date and time in a subsystem, refer to the IES Detail display(from the View IES Detail function).
