How To Configure Light And Relay Actions In Room Alert Manager

In order to toggle a Light Tower or Relay action on your Room Alert ‘S’ model, Room Alert Manager needs the device credentials. Please see our FAQ, How To Save Device Credentials In Room Alert Manager.

Follow these instructions to configure your Light and Relay Action:

  1. Open Room Alert Manager in your web browser.
  2. Navigate to Actions –> Light/Relay Profiles in the navigation bar to the left.
  3. Then select Create a New Profile.
  4. The Light and Relay Action Form will appear, where you may name your action and select the device that your light tower or relay is connected to.
    • In our example, we’ve named our action “Toggle DC light Tower – Critical.” In the Select a device drop-down menu, we’re choosing the Room Alert 32E in our Data Center.

Only one Room Alert Monitor is allowed per each Light and Relay Action. If you wish to toggle multiple Room Alert Monitors, you must create a separate Light and Relay Action for each. You may then associate multiple actions with your alert.

  1. Once you select a device, you’ll see any internal or external relays or light towers connected to that device.
    • In our example, our Room Alert 32E has 1 external light tower (named “DC Light Tower”), 1 external relay (named “DC Relay”), and 2 internal relays.
  2. You may configure alert & clear behaviors for any or all of the device’s light tower and relays.
    • In our example, we are only configuring settings for the device’s external Light Tower:
    • When our action is executed On Alert, the red LED & Audio 1 will turn on. When our action is executed On Clear, the red LED and Audio 1 will turn off, and the green LED will turn on.
    • Any elements in our list with the drop-down option set to “None” will not get toggled on or off by this action.

Light tower LEDs/audio and relay toggles that are set to “None” in Room Alert Manager can still be toggled elsewhere. You may have settings in your device’s local web interface, in our legacy Device ManageR software, or in a third-party SNMP program that toggles these elements.

  1. Select Save Changes to save your action.
  2. You’ll return to the main Actions list, where you can view your action details.
  3. Once your action is configured, you may associate it with any alert. Please see our FAQ, How To Create Alerts In Room Alert Manager.
