Enabling Objects

As we've mentioned many times, a behavior model does not become functional until all of the polls, masks, and alarms in the model are enabled. This section explains how you can quickly enable, or disable, any poll, trap mask, OpC mask, or alarm.

 
  To enable one of these objects:

1. Open the appropriate list window: the Poll List, Mask List, OpC Mask List, or Alarm Definition List window.

   The figure below shows the Poll List window.

   

2. Select the object whose enabled status you want to change.
3. With your cursor positioned over the selected object, click the right mouse button to display a pop-up menu listing actions you can perform against the object.

   

   If the object is disabled, the Off entry will be grayed out, and if the object is enabled, the On entry will be grayed out.

4. Select On from the menu to enable the object, or Off to disable it.

The object is now enabled. It's not necessary to save this change in order for it to take effect.
