Configuring the Operator protocol object

To configure the Operator protocol object, do the following on the settings panel of the object:

1. Configure displaying of the Operator protocol interface box.
   
   1. Set the X (horizontally indented from screen’s left border) and Y (vertically indented from screen’s upper border) coordinates of the upper left corner of the Operator protocol interface box. Coordinates are set as a percentage of the corresponding screen dimensions horizontally and vertically as follows (1).  
   2. Set the dimensions of the Operator protocol interface box: window’s width «W» and window’s height «H». Dimensions are set as a percentage of the corresponding screen dimensions horizontally and vertically as follows (2).
   3. Set the Allow moving checkbox if the layout and size of the Operator protocol interface box are to be changed manually (3).
   4. In the Monitor drop-down list select the the system ID of a monitor for which the coordinates are set and on which the Operator protocol  interface box is to be displayed (4)
2. If there is to be auto switch to the Current events tab in the Operator protocol window when a new event occurs, then set the Autoswitch checkbox checked (5).
3. In the Chief’s interface drop-down list, select the Operator protocol object to which events are to be transmitted at the end of a set time period (6).
4. In the Map drop-down list, select the pre-created Map object for event monitoring (7).
5. In the Wait for the operator’s response field specify the time period at the end of which an event will have the Non-processed event type or it will be escalated (8). Time period is set in minutes – non-integer values can be set (use the decimal point to separate integer and fractional parts). For instance, specify 0.5 to set the waiting period for response equal to 30 seconds.
6. If it is necessary to allow the operator postponing the decision to classify an event once, then in the Postpone the decision for field specify time period (in minutes) for which processing of the event will be postponed (9).
7. If new events are to be added to the end of the current events list, set the New events at the end checkbox (10).

8. In the Keep ___ events field, set the maximum of events displayed in the Operator protocol interface box (11).

   Attention!

    The number of events displayed in the Operator protocol interface box influences the main memory capacity. If 100 non-processed events are displayed in the interface box, then the Operator protocol module can use up to 200 Mb of main memory. When the value of the Keep ___ events parameter is increased, the main memory capacity is also increased.  

     

9. If after processing an event in one of operator protocols it is to be removed from other operator protocols, set the Close elsewhere checkbox (12).
10. If the processing of all events is to be confirmed with a password, set the Password for closing checkbox (13).
11. In the Objects table, specify the objects the events from which are to be received and processed (14).
    

    1. In the list of the Type column, select the object type.

       Note.

       Only objects for which the "INFORMATION" or "ALARM" value is selected in the Messages processing column on the Events tab in the ddi.exe utility are available for selection (see The Events tab section).

    2.  In the list of the Number column, select the object id. The object name will be set automatically. If the object number is not specified, then events from all objects of selected type will be transmitted to the protocol.

    3.  In the list of the Event type column, select events that are to be displayed in the protocol box. If the event type is not specified, then all events registered by the selected object will be transmitted to the protocol. Only alarm and informative events are in this drop-down list.

    4. If the processing of an event is to be confirmed with a password, select the Yes value in the Request password drop-down list. If there is no need to confirm the processing with a password, select the No value in this drop-down list.

       Note.

       If the processing of all events is to be confirmed with a password, set the Password for closing checkbox (13).
    5.  In the Region drop-down list, select the Section object corresponding to the object. 

12. Repeat actions described in step 9 for all required objects. To add a line, go to the last line of the table and click the ↓ key.

    Note.

    To remove the lines from the table, use the Ctrl + Del key combination.
13. In the Parameters table, specify additional settings for an object event. These settings are to be displayed in the Operator protocol interface box (15).
    
    1. In the Parameter field, set the parameter name. To specify the parameters, use a debug box or a ddi file.
    2. In the Description field, set a short description of the parameter.

14. In the DB tab, configure the connection to the database server (5).
    

    Note.

     Parameters, set at INTELLECT ™ software installation, are used by default to connect to the database server.

     

    
    

    1. In the Server field, set the name of the database server to connect to (1).

       Note.

       Working in the distributed configuration it is needed to enter the name of computer without the (local) value where the database is stored. For example, "WS1\SQLEXPRESS", where WS1 – the name of computer on which the database is stored.

    2. In the Folder field, set the name of the database to store events (2).
    3. In the User field, set the username for the authorization on the database server (3).
    4. In the Password field, set the password for the authorization on the database server (4).
15. To save the settings, click the Apply button.

The Operator protocol object is now configured.
