What is prvtDescription?
This object holds a longer free-text description, up to 64 octets and defaulting to an empty string, for a specific dry-contact alarm entry. An admin uses this field to record more detail than prvtName allows, such as the physical location or purpose of the connected sensor. For example, setting this to 'Rear cabinet door sensor, rack room B' gives operators enough context to act quickly when that alarm fires.
