Logger Contact Alert

A much requested feature is to be alerted when a logger hasn't been successfully contacted by Centrix for a given period of time (loss of comms). This feature is now available in the Alerts section of the system.

• Access the Alerts section of the system
• Click the Add button in the bottom left
• Select Logger Contact (Comms) and click Create Alert
• Enter a name for the alert (e.g. "24H No Comms")
• It is recommended the suppression period is set fairly high to avoid being notified constantly for the same site (e.g. 24 Hours)
• Set the maximum contact interval (this is the maximum amount of time you want to allow between logger contact before you are sent an alert)
• Click OK

The site name, logger name and the name you specify on the alert will be provided in the e-mail alert. This should allow you to investigate the issue further.

Improved Asset Generation Algorithms

The algorithms used to generate assets on maps have been improved to consider a wider selection of channel name candidates. This should reduce the amount of manual asset creation required when producing a new map. The new candidates are highlighted in red below:

• Track Circuits will be generated from channels containing: TK, TR, TPR, T?PR,TP?R
• Points will be generated from channels containing: NWK, NWKR, NWKPR, NWK?PR, NKR, NKPR, NK?PR, NKP?R, RWK, RWKR, RWKPR, RWK?PR, RKR, RKPR, RK?PR, RKP?R, AUK, BUK

A test on one site resulted in 60% more assets being generated automatically compared to the previous algorithms.

Other Features / Bug Fixes

• Dialled logger state timeouts can now be configured per logger (system admin function)
