7210 SAS hardware supports alarm contact inputs that allow the operator to monitor and report changes in external environmental conditions. In a remote or outdoor deployment, alarm contact inputs allow the operator to detect conditions, for example, air conditioner fault, open door.
You can configure generation of events when alarm contact inputs transition between the open and close states. For each generated event, you can specify the following:
action associated with each state transition
severity associated with each state transition
log message associated with each state transition
