either is not linked with another alarm contact
or is the last entry of a linked group of alarm

response to an alarm).
– Salvo - Indicates that the alarm contact entry
will call a Salvo to a block of monitors.
− Wired - Indicates that the alarm contact entry
will be linked to the following entry in a wired
