ASCOM AMC User manual

An alarm sounds and
things begin to happen
on the screen.
All the information
necessary to take action
appears immediately.
The alarm can be
acknowledged, its posi-
tion on a map can be
zoomed in on and
details, such as the
alarm type and location,
can be viewed. A paging
can be sent out, per-
sonal notes can be saved
with the alarm history
and the alarm can be
reset.
All this and more can be done using
the Alarm Management Client (AMC),
the presentation and management
software for the Alarm Management
Server (AMS).
Take control
The Alarm Management Server (AMS)
is designed to ensure maximum secu-
rity and control. Alarms are sent to
the AMS, which starts a defined chain
of events that guarantees that the sit-
uation is resolved quickly and effi-
ciently. The payoff is minimal response
time and complete control.
You decide
The AMS is extremely flexible. It can
be configured so that when an alarm
is received different action chains can
be initiated depending on variables
such as time, location, alarm type,
etc.
AMS/AMC
Alarm Management made easy.
ascom
This means that the AMS can be as
complicated or simple as you need it
to be.
Stable and reliable
Reliability is essential in all alarm sys-
tems. For this reason, we have
designed the AMS with dedicated
hardware and software, that is to say
they are made for each other. With
the AMS, you no longer need to rely
on PC based systems for your critical
alarms.
AMS provides a reliable and cost effi-
cient solution regardless of the sys-
tem size or requirements.
