IRM supports an integration with Fiber SenSys devices, via the Fiber SenSys Integration Service (FSIS).
Note: For more information about the specifics of IRM Add-on Data feature, please refer to the Add-on Data subtopic below.
The scenario supported by this integration is as follows:
The user creates an IRM Equipment object that represents a Fiber SenSys sensor in IRM. This object is given a name that matches the name of the sensor in step 2.
A physical Fiber SenSys sensor is installed. Something triggers the sensor, which generates a Fiber SenSys Alarm, Fault, or Tamper event.
Alternatively, the Fiber SenSys SDK sensor simulator is used to create a simulated sensor (with a name matching the IRM sensor object in step 1) and then generate an Alarm/Fault/Tamper on that sensor.
The Alarm/Fault/Tamper is received by the FSIS.
The FSIS uses the name of the alarmed device to find the sensor Equipment object and set its addon data to match the sensor's current state (with the alarm activated)
The FSIS creates an IRM Alert object. The Alert contains a reference to the IRM Equipment object for the sensor and has the appropriate priority set.
The FSIS had earlier (at startup time) created an AlertSource object with some default OutputAction(s). An Admin user may modify the list of OutputActions, but in any case there is some list of them in the AlertSource
IRM runs the appropriate Actions for the Alert. The exact list depends on the AlertSource and Alert priority.
