I'm not aware of the plants design but;
The system lost was titled "Safety Parameter Display System". This sound very much like an alarm annunciator. I'd be shocked if they don't also have a hardware annunciator. Modern plants have provided additional alarm and monitoring systems over their "business" computer networks to extend the information to others not directly involve with the plant's operation. But these are not the primary systems used by operations personnel.
From the description of the problem I am very sure that the plants controls and protections were unaffected and would have operated to protect the equipment if a critical fault had occurred. These controls and protections are required to operate correctly in the event that all remote interfaces are lost.
