2. 
   Dashboard: The Client GUI will provide a dashboard interface, which will enable the user to define gadgets that provide a quick summary of the status of the system, device types or specific devices managed by the system. The dashboard will have the following capabilities:
   

• 
  Equipment Status: The dashboard will enable the user to centrally view the distributed status of all critical infrastructure providing a summary of devices in an alarm state, not responding or returned to normal.
  
• 
  Alarm Gadget: The Alarm gadget will allow the user to display a 2D/3D pie chart that dynamically shows the total number of alarms in various states: unacknowledged, user-acknowledged or system-acknowledged. The gadget can be configured to filter this data by device category, device type and/or manufacturer.
  
• 
  Communication Gadget: The Communication gadget will allow the user to display a 2D/3D pie chart that dynamically shows the total number of devices in various states of communication: normal, alarms present or not responding. The gadget can be configured to filter this data by device category, device type and/or manufacturer.
  

20. 
    Navigation: The Client GUI will provide a navigational interface, which will enable the user to logically define the layout of the critical equipment by area, floor plan and/or rack location. This Navigation interface will allow the user to connect to equipment directly and view status, summary reports and alarm event conditions.

  E-Mail: The system will be capable of sending e-mail notifications to users. These e-mails can be configured to contain the details of the alarm event, links to online documentation and a URL link to the equipment with the alarm condition.
  
• 
  SMS: The system will be capable of sending SMS notifications to users’ mobile devices. These messages can be configured to contain the details of the alarm condition.
  
• 
  SNMP Trap Forwarding: The system will be capable of sending specific SNMP traps to a Network Management System (NMS). These SNMP traps can be filtered to each NMS allowing the system to receive notifications of the most critical alarm events. Systems that support only all-or-nothing SNMP trap forwarding will not be acceptable.
  

8. AUTOMATED ACTIONS

• 
  Run Command: The system will be capable of running external executable programs or scripts. This allows the user to customize the system to perform tasks that are not supported by the system, such as file batch process or integration to other IT-based systems.
  
• 
  Write File: The system will be capable of writing to a file when an alarm is received. These files may contain specific alarms or a set of work directions that can be used by an operator to manage the system.
  
• 
  Read Data: The system will be capable of recording parametric data from equipment at a minimum interval of 10 seconds for a maximum duration of 99 minutes. This parametric data can be viewed in a graph from the specific alarm event. This action can be triggered by multiple alarms in the system.
  
• 
  Write Data: The system will be capable of sending control commands or setpoint changes to equipment being managed. This action can be set up to be performed automatically when a new alarm is received by the system.
