CONFIGURING THE CNI2'S ALARMS

Go back to the device configuration screen and select the Hardware Alarms tab.

Hardware Alarm Configuration Screen

As discussed earlier, the CNI2 is capable of reporting a number of alarm conditions from
external equipment and internal conditions. The CNI2 can be configured to call immediately
when an alarm condition occurs or to simply report it on the next call. This screen allows you to
configure how alarms are reported to DC-2009 by the CNI2 and by DC-2009 to you. It also
allows you to change the verbal description of each alarm. For instance the generic "Customer
Alarm-2" description might be changed to "Smoke Detector Alarm".
Even if the CNI2 is configured to call immediately when an alarm occurs, in some cases DC-
2009 can override this and simply have the alarm reported on the next scheduled call. For any
alarm that requires an immediate call check the Immediate Alarm Notification box. Some
alarms cannot be overridden because they are too important to ignore, such as a unit reset
alarm. Make sure you have also programmed the CNI2 to place an immediate call for these
alarms.
