10 Alerts
10.1 Overview
The optional Alerts Module of N2KView contains a comprehensive alerts
capability allowing an alert to be issued when a parameter value crosses the
threshold that you choose. You may set alerts for almost any parameter that you
can view with N2KView.
N2KView alerts work with multiple instances of N2KView Stations and DSM150
Displays ( http://www.maretron.com/products/dsm150.php ) / DSM250 Displays (
http://www.maretron.com/products/dsm250.php ). You can define alerts as being
either local (appearing only on the N2KView Station on which you defined them)
of global (appearing on all N2KView Stations on the network that are equipped
with a Alerts Module). A global alert can be accepted or cancelled by any
N2KView Station having a Alerts Module or DSM150/DSM250 on the network.
When an alert occurs, it is displayed on the Alert Status Bar, which is always
visible in a reserved area at the bottom of the N2KView window. You may click
on the alert in the Alert Status Bar to take action on it, or you may switch to the
Alerts tab to view more detailed information about the cause of the alert.
N2KView can also perform the following actions when an alert becomes active:
• Send Alert Messages to other N2KView programs or DSM150/DSM250 Displays
connected on the same bus, or to remote N2KView programs connected over
Ethernet.
• Sound a remote annunciator, such as Maretron’s ALM100 Alarm Module, on the
NMEA 2000 bus. (http://www.maretron.com/products/alm100.php
) One or more
channels of Maretron’s DCR100 Direct Current Module
(http://www.maretron.com/products/dcr100.php) may also be triggered to drive
an external alarm,
• Sound the speaker on the PC.
• Send an e-mail message
• Send a SMS (Text Message) to a cell phone. (requires a SMS100 Module)
• If the optional N2KView Control Module is licensed, N2KView can activate and
deactivate breakers/switches such as the Maretron DCR100. This feature has
been removed for safety reasons.
