1.1.2. About DVB

DVB is the name for the European project associating more than 180 structures (industrials, broadcasters and
regulating bodies) from more than 20 countries in Europe, which has defined standards in digital Satellite (DVB-S),
Cable (DVB-C), DVB-H and terrestrial Hertzian (DVB-T) broadcasting.

It has also defined an encryption system for controlling access. Other DVB standards have also been defined, such
as the DVB-TXT (teletext), DVB-ISC (interactive services) and DVB-MHP (interactivity engine).

The DVB-T was approved by ETSI in February 1997. Like the DVB-S and the DVB-C, information is encoded,
according to MPEG2 and H.264 (MPEG4) standards, DVB defining the transport mode and error protection
systems.

1.3.1. Operating recommendations


So as to guarantee acquisition performance, stability of supplied information and reliability, we recommend you
follow the conditions below:
 The unit must be installed in a location with steady air flow, either forced or natural. If several units are
stacked up, they should be spaced by at least 1 U to allow air flow and prevent overheating.
 It is strongly recommended that the location is not subject to a high humidity level (>70%), and to avoid
high salinity or chlorinated environments.
 It is strongly recommended that the location is not exposed to a high volume of dust.
 Connection to the mains should be done according to applicable installation codes:
outlets in good working conditions to insure a reliable contact,
correct voltage, without fluctuation and stable over time (power conditioner recommended),
sufficient power.
 The quality of the communication network (modem, ADSL, WIFI, WIMAX) is very important. Modem
correctly installed, proper antenna installation in case of WiFi and WiMax,
 Specific attention must be given to the connection with the signal to be monitored (antenna or in case of
installation on the transmitter site, connection to the transmitter’s probe).
Selectivity must warrant that out-of-band or parasite signals are not present. Otherwise, it is mandatory to use an
adequate rejection filter.
The C/N level must greater than 15 dB,
The average and nominal level must be greater than -50 dBm, otherwise it is recommended to use a professional
and specific amplifier,

Note: the auto-configuration scan is described in section 7.5; this function makes it possible to view all carriers
present in the band.

These prerequisites should be taken into account so as to give the essential components (CPU and receiver) the
best operating conditions. These components are sensitive, and extreme conditions greatly decrease their
reliability and the consistency of their performance over the operational lifetime of the AUDEMAT DVB-T
MONITOR.

3.2. Connecting to the network


Connect the Ethernet cable (A) from the unit’s primary
interface to your PC *, or to a router or a switch.

* With a direct connection, you will need to set an IP address


on your PC in the same range as the IP address you just set using the front panel application, so both are
compatible. Example: if the AUDEMAT DVB-T Monitor’s IP address is 192.168.0.7, the PC IP address must be in the
192.168.0.xx range. The procedure varies depending on your operating system.
For units without front display, the default IP address is: 192.168.12.22. The PC address must therefore be in the
192.16.12.xx range.
 With Windows 2000 or Windows XP, go to:
 Control panel / Network connection.
 Local Area Connection / Properties
 Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the list then
on Properties.
 Add the IP address and the sub-net mask. (for
example 192.168.0.56 / Netmask 255.255.0.0).
 With Windows Vista or Windows 7, go to:
 Control panel / Network and Internet / Network
and Sharing Center.
 Click on “View Status” for your local area
connection, and on Properties
 Click on Internet Protocol 4, then on Properties.
 Add the IP address and the sub-net mask (for
example 192.168.0.56 / Netmask 255.255.0.0).

3.3. Installing the AUDEMAT DVB-T Monitor applications


You will now be able to access the embedded web site via Ethernet or Internet to download the remote

AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR 4.3.x User Manual – 03/2016

6. PRESENTATION OF THE REMOTE APPLICATION

6.1. Introduction

6.1.1. Working principle


The unit is designed to automatically monitor a programmed list (multiplex) by comparing measurements from an
internal tuner to user-defined reference settings. In case of failure, alarms are generated and sent by SNMP Traps
or mail. The unit communicates with the outside world via IP network (Ethernet or modem). It comes with a client-
server application serving as graphic user interface that makes it possible to remotely configure the unit, view
measurements and event logs as well as view real time measurements and listen to the audio.

6.1.2. Multiplex monitoring


Monitoring is done by setting the tuner successively on each set multiplex for acquisition of measurements and by
then comparing the programmed reference values with the newly acquired data. Each monitoring element is
successively tested according to the hierarchical test order. With this order; lower level tests will stop when a
higher level error has been detected. As an example, it is pointless to test the BER level if no DVB-T presence has
been detected. This method also prevents useless alarms from being sent.
 The higher the number of monitored multiplex is, the longer the monitoring cycle will be: measurements for
each multiplex become therefore less frequent.

6.1.3. Monitoring hierarchy detail

* PER is not available in the current version.

6.1.4. Triggering alarms:


As monitoring starts, each test is set to ‘NO_ERROR’ status.
This status is then reevaluated with each monitoring cycle as the tests are performed again. When a measured
value is out-of-tolerance, the state switches to ‘ERROR’, but the alarm is not triggered immediately. For each
parameter, the “timeout before alarm” parameter can be configured: it represents a delay during which an error
state is tolerated before the alarm is triggered. Once this length of time has been reached, the state switches to
‘ALARM’, and corresponding actions are then taken (notification, placement of the event in the event log…)
Switching from ‘ERROR’ to ‘NO_ERROR’ is immediate; however, it takes 2 confirmations to go from ‘ALARM’ to
‘NO_ERROR’, the test must be error free for 2 consecutive cycles.
The hysteresis is an additional factor to be taken into account before the unit returns to normal state after a ‘level’
type threshold violation. This value adjusts the triggering threshold after an alarm begins so that fluctuations near
the threshold level will not continuously trigger alarms. For instance, if we set the lower level threshold at 40, and
the hysteresis at 5, the alarm activates at a level lower than 40 and stays on until the level rises above 45.

monitoring time
error before the alarm is triggered
alarm
no issue on the channel
When dealing with a series of channels, each channel is monitored for a set time (5 seconds on the example above,
with a 2 second delay before alarm).
Recorded start and end times depend in part on the monitoring cycle.
Channel 1: the error starts second 2 while the channel is monitored and ends second 16 while the channel is also
monitored. Alarm start and end times match actual times.
Channel 2: the error starts second 6 while the channel is monitored and ends second 11 when the channel is no
longer monitored. An error starts again second 18 and ends second 23. The monitoring unit cannot detect the
absence of error between second 11 and second 18. It is seen as a single error. Alarm start time: second 8; alarm
end time second 23.
Channel 3: the error starts second 12 while the channel is monitored and ends second 20 when the channel is no
longer monitored. The monitoring unit detects the absence of error when starting to monitor the channel again.
Alarm start time: second 14; alarm end time: second 25.
It is also important to note that when a channel is not monitored, no measurements can be compiled on that
specific channel, leaving ‘blanks’ in the recorded measurement curves.
As a rule, be aware that the higher the number of monitored channels, the lesser monitoring time is spent on
each.
 The monitoring time depends for each channel on the number and type of monitored parameters. The
estimated cycle time is calculated by the application and displayed on the ‘Basic configuration’ page.

Case of alarms ‘closed by hierarchy’


When an alarm with a high hierarchical level is triggered, the state for each lower hierarchical level alarm changes
to ‘CLOSED’ and a notification for ‘closed by hierarchy’ is sent. As an example, if a Cell ID alarm is active and the
DVB-T presence alarm gets triggered, the Cell ID trap is sent with an alarmStatus value of 3 (closed by hierarchy).
Inversely, when the high level alarm ends, the lower level tests that were ‘CLOSED’ return to ‘ALARM’ status and
traps are sent with alarmStatus values of 4 (alarm reopened).

6.2. Installing the AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR application


A remote application called “AUDEMAT DVB-T Monitor" is included in the unit and is available for downloading on
the embedded web site in the “Download" tab.
To use this application, you must previously have established TCP/IP communication with the AUDEMAT DVB-T
MONITOR.

7.5. Network

IP Configuration:
 Ethernet configuration mode
Both interfaces (primary and secondary) can be configured with a static or dynamic IP address (DHCP).
 DHCP mode is only recommended if the IP address given by the server is known (for instance if the server gives
an IP address to the MAC address).

 Static Ethernet configuration


Enter the static IP parameters. IP address and mask are essential, gateway is important if the unit is to
communicate outside its own subnet. The secondary interface can be used as a backup interface if the
Ethernet fail-over function is enabled.

 Both gateways cannot be enabled at once!

 DNS Servers:
DNS configuration, to be able to use domain names rather than numerical IP addresses. Mandatory if
before using DNS addresses on other configuration pages.

 Current network status: summary of current network parameters.

 Ethernet fail-over:
The Ethernet fail-over function enables the unit to send alarms using the back-up Ethernet interface in
case of issues with the primary interface. The unit pings the reference address (Always-on IP) at regular
intervals (Time between pings). If there is no answer, the switch takes place. The unit keeps pinging the
reference address and switches back to the primary interface when there is an answer.

 When changing the “Time between ping”, the previous time will be applied a last time after update.

! The Ethernet fail-over function and PPP Dialout are mutually exclusive.
 When updating network parameters, the application automatically shuts down and restarts. This process may
take up to 1 minute.

 IP configuration is also available on the “Network” page of the embedded web site.

7.6. PPP Dialout

The AUDEMAT DVB-T Monitor has the capability to make a network connection over a standard dial-up telephone
line. This protocol is known as PPP. The unit can make the connection autonomously to send alerts via e-mail, or it
can accept incoming PPP connections as well.

 To configure outgoing calls: activation of outgoing calls

 PPP as Ethernet backup:

AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR 4.3.x User Manual – 03/2016
This function makes it possible for the unit to switch to the PPP interface to send alarms if the
primary Ethernet interface (eth0) doesn’t function anymore (i.e. if a reference address doesn’t
answer to a ping).
This verification is done regularly and can be changed by the user. It may happen that the network
cable is unplugged or damaged, or that the equipment associated with the reference IP address is off
or not on the network.
To activate the PPP backup, in the "Dial out enabled" section, select "yes only if Ethernet goes
down".
 Enter a reference IP address in the field "Ping this address to test Ethernet connection"
 Configure a PPP account to dial when alarms are issued.

 Calling quotas: number of calls


 The user can limit the number of daily outgoing calls. He/she should put 0 if this
limitation is not required.
 The user can limit the number of hourly outgoing calls. He/she should put 0 if this
limitation is not required.
 The user can click Reset to put the call counter back to zero.

 Dialout accounts: the user can create a new customer account. Enter settings for the new customer
account (name, number, login, password…) and click on “New account”. The unit can manage
multiple accounts.

7.7. PPP Dial-in

To configure incoming calls from a PPP server:


 Dial-in configuration: activation of “incoming calls" function.
 Account: account and access settings.
 Modem configuration: the user selects the modem (if necessary) and its features.
 For a GSM modem, the initialization string is ATQ0V1H0.

AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR 4.3.x User Manual – 03/2016
 Dial-in accounts:
The “filtering enabled" function enables incoming calls to be filtered using Caller ID (the incoming
telephone line must have this service activated).
To add a new account, enter the relevant information and click on “New Account”. This enables
authorized and non authorized incoming calls to be managed.
Select ‘Customer’ in the “Callback” pull-down menu to activate an automatic PPP call back feature.
When an incoming call displays a ‘Callback Customer’ number, the modem does not answer; instead,
it waits for the ringing to end and then generates an outgoing call to that number. This allows PPP
connection from the unit without phone charges to the user.

7.8. IP Router and Port translation

 Local port redirection:


The port redirection allows the user to set specific, non-standard IP Ports to be used by various functions of the
AUDEMAT DVB-T Monitor. This is useful when the default ports are not desirable or available (for example:
forbidden by the ISP, blocked by a firewall...).
For each port used in the AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR, select the interface of the port (for example PPP in the case
of a modem connection) and the new port to use in the “duplicate to” field.
Each redirection line can be activated or disabled independently.
Once the configuration is done, lock it in by clicking on “update”. Then click the “Activate new configuration”
button at the top of the page.

 The redirection does not deactivate or turn off the default ports. It only ‘clones’ or duplicates their functions
on the ports designated. External methods must be used to block any undesired ports from the network.

 To configure the unit as a router on a local network:


This function allows a user to communicate with all of the equipment on the local network shared by the
AUDEMAT DVB-T Monitor (Ethernet) from a PC connected to the AUDEMAT DVB-T Monitor by modem (PPP).
To configure this function, select “Enabled” on the “Router mode” line.

7.11. SNMP Agent

 SNMP configuration
 The equipment supports multiple destination addresses for notifications. However, only the Main
Manager has the authority to acknowledge notifications. With “INFORM” type messages, automatic
answers from secondary managers are ignored by the unit.
 The user can download the MIB. Simply click on the button to save the .mib file locally or on the network.
In the MIB, you will find specific and unique tables such as the ScriptEasy alarm table, the Notifications
pending acknowledgement table and the I/O table.
 SNMP Traps configuration
 SNMP Notification Type / Trap Community / System Description: trap settings, ask your network
administrator.
 Life Sign Trap / Minutes between Life Signs: sends life signs every X minutes to check the unit works
correctly even when no traps are sent.

Trap sending test: sends a ‘Warm start’ trap to the destination(s) according to the trap settings.

7.11.1. Supported SNMP versions


The Unit SNMP agent is compatible with SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c versions. GET and SET commands are
supported, as well as GETBULK in SNMPv2c. Notifications can be transmitted in TRAP V1 or V2c form or
with an INFORM V2c type.

7.11.2. Notification mode


To make sure traps reach their target via the protocol, the AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR offers 2 methods, with both
methods, traps are sent until acknowledgment is received by the manager.
 Automatic acknowledgement for sending with INFORM. These notifications are only available with the
version 2c of the protocol. This protocol checks that the manager responds to the notification sent by the

Page 46

AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR 4.3.x User Manual – 03/2016
SNMP transmitter. This process is simple and reliable, no specific configuration is required for the
manager.
 Manual acknowledgement for Traps V1 and Traps V2c. A specific OID (“alarmPendingAlarmsalarmAck”) is
extracted and its variables are sent with the trap. The manager must then execute a SET command. This
method is more complex but is the only one that can work with the version 1 of the protocol.
The acknowledgment mode (Trap V1, Trap V2c or Inform) is identical for all alarms. See the next section
“Notifications” for additional settings.
 With “SNMPv2c traps” notifications, it not possible to acknowledge traps.
In the same way, traps which do not require acknowledgment cannot be sent with the “Inform SNMPv2c”
format, even when this format is selected. This is the case with the ‘test’ trap as well as with equipment
information traps such as the ‘Equipment On’ trap.

7.12. Notifications

 SNMP Actions
The user may replay traps that have not been acknowledged yet.
The user may also delete pending traps that have not been acknowledged yet.

 Configuration depending on notification type


In the "Mode" column:
 “Do not send”: used for temporarily suspending sending certain types of alerts
 “Send and Forget”: standard SNMP mode, no acknowledgement awaited, notifications are
deleted immediately after sending.
 “Resend until acknowledged”: standard alarm mode. Notifications are re-transmitted until
acknowledgement is received. The acknowledgement mode depends on the sending mode:

AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR 4.3.x User Manual – 03/2016
 automatic acknowledgement for sending with INFORM
 manual acknowledgement for Traps V1 and Traps V2c

 Principles of Re-transmission / Acknowledgment


In the “Resend until acknowledged” mode, it is possible to set the maximum number of tries and the
acknowledgment timeout.
As long as an acknowledgement has not been received, the notification is re-transmitted at the rate of once every
<d> seconds, for a maximum of <n> times; where <d> and <n> are the <Ack Timeout> and <Max Retries> fields
respectively.
If acknowledgement does not arrive after <n> attempts, the notification will be “frozen”, that is to say, it is put on
standby until a new notification of the same type is generated. It can also be manually unblocked by using the
“Replay Traps" button.
It is important to note that untransmitted notifications are not lost. They are kept to be retransmitted as soon as
the right conditions are met. When a new notification appears, the “frozen" notification is reactivated and a cycle
of sending attempts begins again.
The alarm severity level can also be set: a specific manager action is associated with each severity level.
See Appendix B for the list of traps.

 It is possible to create a custom configuration file and add it via FTP.


The file name must be: freqrange.xxx, where xxx is a number whose value is the last freqrange file’s number + 1.
The first line in the text file is the name of the configuration as it will be displayed in the ‘Channel Zone selection’
pull-down menu. This file must be then placed in the directory: /var/gt/etc. Access this directory via an FTP
connection (with an FTP client such as Filezilla for instance) using the FTP administrator account as described in
section 6.4. The root directory is ‘var’. Open ‘gt/etc’ and copy the newly created file there.

 Streaming time-out:
Give the maximum time in minutes for streaming.

 Receiver configuration:
Enter a positive or negative value to compensate external attenuation or gain if needed.

 RF data record configuration:


By default, the AUDEMAT DVB-T continuously and successively reads each channel (see section 6.1.2). Readings
thus obtained are averaged over one minute. These averaged readings (both RF and MPEG) will be kept for one
month.
When the box is checked, all raw RF data is kept, no average is computed. Depending on the number of
configured channels and monitored parameters, there could be one reading per second. In this case, readings are
only kept for sever days.
This option is not applicable to MPEG readings.

In an MFN or SFN network, impulse response monitoring will allow: detection of echo or another transmitter
appearance or disappearance, or echo or another transmitter shunt that could disturb the main signal.
When monitoring in multiplex, AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR records one per minute and constantly analyses the
impulse response so as to detect potential peaks
 Graph (2):
A graph displays detected peaks and curves, giving min, max and current values so as to evaluate level and time
ranges within which echoes evolve and/or if a detected peak is significant.
Out-of-bound peaks appear in red.

You may zoom by clicking and dragging with your mouse over the area on which to zoom. Unzoom with a right
mouse click.
 The graph will only be visible if the Monitor SFN box is checked (3).
 Alarms (3):
Monitoring compares the current measure with the reference, and sends three types of alarm:
 A peak out of zone alarm: a peak is detected out of the monitoring zone.

AUDEMAT DVB-T MONITOR 4.3.x User Manual – 03/2016
 A peak appearance alarm: the number of actual peaks is higher than the number of referenced
peaks.
 A peak disappearance alarm: the number of actual peaks is lower than the number of referenced
peaks.
For each alarm, the user can configure the delay before triggering the alarm.
Note: a peak disappearing from a deactivated monitoring zone will nonetheless send a peak appearance alarm.
 Monitoring settings (4):
In order to compensate for measurement fluctuations, the application allows for parameter configuration. The
level of peak threshold can be set as well.
A pink rectangle around each peak represents the acceptable values according to SFN level and time thresholds.
 List of out of guard interval peaks, with their reference position (5):
The list is created from the reference curve. In order to list the peaks, first set your SFN capture
threshold, save, refresh the curve until black lines appear which identify the peaks, then set “set
current as reference” (buttons in section 6).
The identified peaks and their recorded reference positions are listed. A specific peak monitoring
can be deactivated if no longer of interest.
 Controls (6):
Three buttons make it possible to manage the SFN monitoring graphically.

To sum it up, if you wish to monitor SFN, you should:


 Check the Monitor SFN box (3),
 Wait for a few minutes,
 Click "Set current as reference » (6),
 Select the peaks you wish to monitor (5),
 If needed, adjust SFN thresholds (4)
 Save (icon in the tool bar).

MIP error description:


MIP Timing Error:
The Synchronization Time Stamp (STS) values inserted in the Mega-frame Initialization Packet (MIP)
must be correct. This test checks that successive STS values are self-consistent.
MIP Structure Error:
This test verifies that the syntax of the MIP complies with the specification.
MIP Presence Error:
This test verifies that the MIP is inserted into the transport stream only once per megaframe.
MIP Pointer Error:
The MIP insertion can be at any location in the mega-frame. If the insertion is periodic as defined in the
MIP, the MIP location in the mega-frame is constant over time. The MIP can be used to determine the
mega-frame size and where each mega-frame starts and ends in the transport stream thanks to the
pointer field verified by this test.
MIP Periodicity Error:
In the case of a periodic MIP insertion, the pointer value shall remain constant, as well as the number of
packets between each MIP.
MIP TS Rate Error:
In a SFN network the modulator settings are transmitted by the tps mip. These settings determine the
transmission mode and in this way the bit rate of the Transport Stream. This test verifies that the actual
Transport Stream data rate is consistent with the DVB-T mode defined by the tps mip. The maximum
rate deviation can be set in the MPEG settings page (see section 7.5).

Definition of expressions used hereafter:
 TS: transport parameters
 service: TS service parameters identified by a service ID
 component: data stream parameters making up the service identified by a PID
 element: either TS, service or component

Notion of alternative services:


The system makes it possible to set alternative reference services so as not to trigger alarms when the service
structure is modified on purpose (switch to/from national from/to local program, from/to encrypted format…)
When monitoring, the system compares the current structure with the alternative reference structures. There is
no error if the current structure matches at least one of the reference structures.
If no structure matches, the closest match is used as a reference. When 2 reference structures are equivalent, the
system will take into account the position in the creation hierarchy to determine the structure used as a reference.

The system will not generate an error in the following alternative cases:

TS TS TS TS

 Launch a "New current Scan".
 Launch a new scan so it becomes the "New reference Scan".
 Export LCN information (Logical Channel Number) for all channels in .xls format.

Managing the scan (4)


Monitoring compares the reference scan with the current one and sends four types of alarms, each can be
activated individually:
 Send alarm on channel appearance: an appearing channel alarm with the new channel’s number
and possibly the list of associated programs (the software will carry out a TS analysis for any
newly detected channel).
 Send alarm on channel disappearance: a disappearing channel alarm with the missing channel’s
number
 Send alarm on DVB parameters modified: a changing feature alarm for an existing channel. It
does not include the details of the modification.
 Send alarm on Triggering difference x dB: an alarm should the current level be outside a
configurable range (reference level +/- an offset in dB and set by the user).
The alarms are delivered as information for each difference encountered during the scan. There is, therefore, no
alarm beginning or end, but information is sent again each time difference is encountered during a scan.
The scanning range (1st and last channel) and the scanning interval or launching time are also set here.

List of monitored channels (2):
The color of the multiplex and ASI input buttons indicates the status:

Channel not monitored.

Channel monitored and OK.

Channel monitored with alarm.

When monitoring several channels, a symblol indicates which channe lis being
monitored.

Parameter list and error status (3):


When a multiplex or the ASI input is selected, a list of parameters with their status is available. The status is
represented by the following color indicators:

Parameter not monitored


Parameter monitored and OK
Parameter onitored with error but without alarm *
Parameter monitored with alarm

* A parameter is never in error for long: either the error disappears quickly, or it lasts and the status turns into an
alarm.

Note that 2 cases can lead to a value not being monitored :


 Monitoring is not enabled for this parameter in the configuration pages.
 Monitoring is enabled, but a parameter of higher level is in alarm, therefore this parameter is
temporarily not monitored (see hierarchy section 6.1.3).

 For the ASI channel:

Status of the ETR 290101 First priority, Second


priority and Third priority parameters

MPEG Services status

MPEG bit rate status

RF Measurement export

In the .xls file, you will find one sheet per multiplex and type of report:

 If the selected number of measurements is “One measurement for one second”, the number of reading may be
too large for the .xls format. RF data is therefore saved in a .csv file. If MPEG data is saved at the same time, it
will be in a .xls file.

15.2. Commands module - Relay outputs


 Please refer to the ScriptEasy manual for more information on I/O management.
This module provides 8 SPDT relays. Each relay has one com input (common) and two outputs: NC (normally
closed) and NO (normally opened).

Schematic diagram:

RELAY (x8)

NC (Normaly open)
COM
NO (Normaly closed)
 When the relay is not in use, com is linked to the NC output.
 When the relay is activated, com is linked to the NO output.

 If your unit reboots, com is then linked to the NC output.

Practical examples:

1. The relay can be used like an on-off switch to make a contact between the common and one of the
outputs (NC or NO).
2. It is also possible to connect a power supply to the common (for example the +12 V power supply
available on pin 13) and to switch this power supply between the NC and the NO output.

Alarm value Description
0 No current alarm
1 Current alarm

For instance, to read the status of the “RF low error” alarm on channel 5, use a GET SNMP command on the OID:
1.3.6.1.4.1.5299.15.4.1.10.7.6.2.2.1.3.4.0

Where .4 is the identifier of the 5th channel and 0 is the identifier of the RF low Error.
 The value of an alarm “closed by hierarchy” will be 1 until the alarm with a greater level is closed and the
current alarm is actually over as well.
