Can you trust your critical text message notifications to be delivered by your wireless carrier?

August 24, 2015 / 0 comments / in Support  / by Jacob Allred

Here is a scenario that I’ve seen crop up several times in the last few months:

A point enters the alarm state and an SMS notification has been sent, but several hours later no one has acknowledged it yet. Investigation begins into this issue and I notice that the notification service (GNS) has logged a successful send to my field techs’ wireless carrier’s email address, there are no errors reported, but no one has responded to the callout. I call the tech and he says he never received the notification.

Tired of Attending the Same Old Events? Try Throwing Your Own Custom Event

In my previous post How to change a tab strip selection, I discussed the use of HyperLinkSys as a means of passing data from a nested view screen to its parent screen. In that technique, the data passed from the nested view was used to change the selection of a tab strip on the parent screen. In keeping with the theme of initiating an action from a nested view, I will present a different technique using custom events for more complex interactions.

Using references to display a packed word value

Have you ever run into a situation where a single value on a device could represent multiple values at the same time? How would you display a nice string representation for all the potential values? I recently saw this problem solved on an Emerson device where a TLP contained multiple values packed into a single byte. The solution used a combination of multiple reference DEIDs and a few associated enumerations.
