You must connect the SiPass plugin role to the
SiPass server. You can also assign recipients to
newly imported SiPass alarms.
What you should know
The recipients on the
SiPass
Properties page are only applied the first time an alarm is added
to Security Center. If you need to change the recipients of existing SiPass alarms, go
to the
Alarms task, and make the changes for each alarm entity, as
described in
Changing assigned recipients of Siemens SiPass alarms.
CAUTION:
Changes made in the Alarms task to
Alarm recipients or Alarm
partitions are overwritten by the plugin if you modify the
plugin alarm recipients or partitions.
Procedure
-
From the homepage in Config Tool, open the Plugins task.
-
In the entity browser pane, select the SiPass plugin, and then click the
Properties tab.
-
In the Host field, enter the hostname or IP address of
the SiPass server.
-
In the Port field, enter the port number used to
communicate with the SiPass server.
The default port number is 5645. It must be unblocked on your network.
-
In Alarm recipients, select the users or user groups to
notify when a SiPass alarm occurs.
NOTE: If this list is empty, alarms will still
be triggered in Security Center, but
no user will be notified.
-
In Alarm partitions, select the partitions to which the
alarm entities will be added when created by the plugin.
Alarms created by the plugin will always be members of the those partitions.
Partitions added through the Alarms task will be removed
by the plugin if you modify Alarm partitions
again.
-
Click Apply.
Results
The SiPass entities are synchronized in Security Center and are added under the SiPass plugin in the entity browser. Alarm entities and custom events are also created to map those reported by SiPass.
NOTE: The time required for synchronization varies depending on how many entities must be synchronized.
Example
This shows the basic configuration in the
Properties tab that
allows the plugin role to connect to the SiPass
server and have alarms sent to specific users.
