State alert thresholds
State thresholds are thresholds defined for sensors that report state values.State threshold options
| Threshold | Description |
|---|---|
| Door | Settings for sensors that determine whether a door is open or closed. |
| Door (Handle) | Settings for sensors that determine whether a door handle is up or down. |
| Door (Lock) | Settings for sensors that determine whether a door lock is locked or unlocked. |
| Dry Contact | Settings for sensors that determine the fault status of dry contacts. |
| Motion Sensor | Settings for sensors that detect motion. |
| Other State Sensors | Settings for sensors that measure state settings not reported for other Alert Thresholds options. |
State threshold types
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Alert State Threshold | An alarm occurs when the sensor's state matches the Alert State setting. |
| State Mismatch Threshold | An alarm occurs when the sensor's state does not match the Normal State setting.
Note This threshold setting is useful for sensors that can report more than two states. |
| Alert State for Time Threshold | An alarm occurs when the sensor's state matches the Alert State setting for longer than the Time Allowed in Alert State setting's delay. |
| State Mismatch for Time Threshold | An alarm occurs when the sensor's state does not match the Normal State setting for longer than the time defined by the Time Allowed in Abnormal State setting.
Note This threshold setting is useful for sensors that can report more than two states. |
State threshold types for rack access
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Door Forced Entry Threshold | An alert occurs when the door is open while the handle is down and the lock is locked, enabled by default.
Note When the “Allow handle down while door open” option is selected, returning the handle to the down position while the door is open will not generate an alert. |
| Handle Forced Entry Threshold | An alert occurs when the handle is up while the lock is locked, enabled by default. |
| Unscheduled Access Threshold | An alert occurs when unscheduled rack access is attempted using a card, key, or remote command, enabled by default.
Note If any of the other “Unscheduled” access thresholds are used (Card, Key, or Remote), this threshold should be removed from the lock sensor. |
| Unscheduled Remote Access Threshold | An alert occurs when unscheduled rack access is attempted using a remote command issued from the NetBotz Appliance Advanced View or Basic View, or the Data Center Expert console.
Note To allow remote access without generating an alert, you must modify the threshold schedule, disable the threshold for the desired time frame, and disable the default “Unscheduled Access Threshold”. An unlock event will still be generated in the NetBotz Appliance event log. |
| Unscheduled Card Access Threshold | An alert occurs when unscheduled rack access is attempted using a card, or a door is opened with a card, and left open past that card’s access schedule. |
| Unscheduled Key Access Threshold | An alert occurs when unscheduled rack access is attempted using a key.
Note To allow key access without generating an alert (for example, during normal work hours), you must modify the threshold schedule, disable the threshold for the desired time frame, and disable the default “Unscheduled Access Threshold”. A key unlock event will still be generated in the NetBotz Appliance event log. |
