Appendix I: Additional EMX Information532"To Assert" and Assertion TimeoutIf multiple sensor states are available for a specific sensor, the EMXasserts a state for it whenever a bad state change occurs.To assert a state:To assert a state is to announce a "worse" new state. Below are badstate changes that cause the EMX to assert.1. above upper warning --> above upper critical2. normal --> above upper warning3. normal --> below lower warning4. below lower warning --> below lower criticalAssertion Timeout:In the threshold setup dialog, the Assertion Timeout field impacts the"assertion" action. It determines how long a sensor must be in the"worse" new state before the EMX turns on the "assertion" action. If thatsensor changes its state again within the specified wait time, the EMXdoes NOT assert the worse state.To disable the assertion timeout, set it to 0 (zero).
