obixDriver- ObixAlarmDeviceExt

This frozen device extension of the ObixClient component integrates its native alarms into the Framework alarming subsystem. Its default view is the Obix Alarm Manager.

This component does not configure alarms. An oBIX server can have many alarm sources. The ObixAlarmImport object configures properties, such as Alarm Class.

The ObixAlarmDeviceExt creates and manages a single monitor (watch) used for all alarm feeds. The properties on the alarms Property Sheet configure this watch.

The ObixAlarmImport object configures alarm properties, such as alarm class.
