APPENDIX K:
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PRINTER DISPLAYS
I created the table below from text segments extracted from different stations. It seems each station will show different CLASS names in System Management's EQUIP INFO, for each Port/Device Type/Code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
51 : From AW51's /usr/fox/exten/cs_alarm
70 : From AW70's /opt/fox/OS7AW1/install/preinstall.ksh
COMM10: From COMM10's /usr/fox/sp/files/OS1CS
PW : From PW's /vrtx

10 DSKJET DSKJET HP1600 HP1600 HP DeskJet 1600 CM parallel port
11 DSKJET DSKJET HP660C HP660C HP DeskJet 870 Cxi parallel port
(Description column comes from AW70's preinstall.ksh)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't checked all combinations but so far the table seems to be valid. A device "3" appears as "OKI80" when hosted by a 51 or 70, and "PTR80" if hosted by COMM10 or PW.
Note that "DSKJET" will be reported by a 51/70 station for both: a PostScript printer or a PCL3 printer. However, a COMM10 or PW will report it more precisely: HP1600 or HP660C.
Only a Postscript Serial printer connected directly to an AW50 or AP50 will have a device/port type = 9. This could be the only case where you might see "DSKJETS".
The equipment information fields contain information specific to the selected AW peripheral. These fields may display when a status update occurs or when the display is recalled. NOTE: Only black/white alarm printers show up in this display. Color inkjet printers do not appear in this display. These fields are updated when a status change occurs: (All the other fields are static, not used, or update when the display is recalled)STATUS FIELDS
The following fields represent the information available for printers: NAME The logical name given to the peripheral during configuration. RUN MODE On-Line or Off-Line. This field is initially set to Off-Line until it is reported as being On-Line by the Station Manager subsystem. If station reporting is disabled, the last known peripheral state appears in this field. View RUN MODE and FAIL STATE as separate, but related fields. A failed device results in the RUN MODE status changing to Off-Line. FAIL ACK STATE Acknowledged or Not Acknowledged. This field is initially set to Acknowledged. If the FAIL STATE changes from Not Failed to Failed, the FAIL ACK STATE field changes to Not Acknowledged. Use the ACK key in the top menu bar of the Equipment Information display to acknowledge the selected faulted device, or use the ACK ALL key in the top menu bar of the initial System Management display to acknowledge all the unacknowledged devices for which the workstation has responsibility. ¨ RUN MODE ¨ FAIL STATE ¨ FAIL ACK STATE ¨ ALARMING STATE READY STATE The state of the printer. BACKUP NAME 1 and 2 Logical Device Name (for local or remote devices). The backup device is used if the primary printer to which alarm messages are sent is failed or off-line. It is also used if the primary printer has the LOCKABLE field set to Yes. Backup names are determined at configuration. AUTO RECOVERY No or Yes. This field indicates whether switching back to the original operational printer takes place automatically after printer failure and backup printer take over. Currently not available. PORT NUMBER 1, 2, 3, or 4. Indicates the port number of the configured device. The port number is deter-mined during system configuration. TYPE Printer or Terminal. This information comes from the configuration files. FAIL STATE Failed or Not Failed. This field is initially set to Not Failed. The field changes to Failed if any of the following occur: ¨ The device is powered down. ¨ The device, if attached to an AW, is deselected by means of the Select button. ¨ The cable between the station and the attached device is physically broken. The peripheral connection is disengaged on the station to which the device is attached. If the device is placed off-line using the equipment change option, the device does not appear as failed. ALARMING STATE Indicates whether alarming is Enabled or Inhibited for the device. When alarming is Inhibited, the System Monitor continues to indicate overall system health while equipment is failed or off-line. System alarm messages are not logged to the system printer or the Historian. LOCKABLE No or Yes. This field indicates whether a printer is lockable. If lockable, a message that requests the port to be locked until information is output in its entirety. This is helpful when printing out reports; it eliminates any spontaneous alarm messages printing in the middle of the report. Currently not available.
