Alarm

Alarm actions make it possible for you to configure the way that the base station
responds to alarm conditions.
Over the air alarm actions
Over the air alarm actions can turn the base station's over the air alarm on or
off. Indeed, Task Manager action is the only way that this alarm can be started
or stopped.
When the base station enters Run mode, Task Manager ensures that the over
the air alarm is turned off.
When Task Manager turns on the over the air alarm, the base station starts
transmitting the alarm over the air according to Configure > Alarms >
Notification Methods.
When Task Manager turns off the over the air alarm, the base station stops
transmitting the alarm.
Over the line alarm actions
Over the line alarm actions can turn the base station's over the line alarm on or
off. Indeed, Task Manager action is the only way that this alarm can be started
or stopped.
When the base station enters Run mode, Task Manager ensures that the over
the line alarm is turned off.
When Task Manager turns on the over the line alarm, the base station starts
sending the alarm over the line according to Configure > Alarms > Notification
Methods. It will be sent over audio out lines that the system interface provides
and that are enabled in the current channel profile's audio path.
When Task Manager turns off the over the air alarm, the base station stops
sending the alarm.
Email status now
The 'do now' action Email status now turns on a flag requesting that the
base station email the status message. Emailing a status message is only done in
systems with remote RS-232 connections.The email will be sent via an Alarm
Center according to the configuration in Configure > Communications >
Email.
A status message can only be sent once the minimum interval
Note:
has elapsed after the last status message or alarm log was sent. This
avoids (for example) receiving an email every time the base station
keys up.
Note: Task Manager can disable the email service, which will
override any future Email status now action. See
actions" on page
Clear alarm log
The 'do now' action Clear alarm log empties the alarm log of all entries. This
can be a useful action after the alarm log has been sent. Although Alarm Center
will not duplicate alarms in its display, clearing the alarm log reduces the
communications load involved in sending the alarm log. If the alarm log
contains any alarms that have not already been sent as syslog messages, they will
be lost.
