TB8100 Service Kit User's Manual
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. The email will be sent via an Alarm Center
according to the configuration in Configure > Communications > Email.
Note: A status message can only be sent once the minimum interval
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.
Task Manager can disable the email service, which will

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.
Example
IF Timer expired (Email Timer) THEN Clear alarm log
This task could be part of a set of tasks that emails the alarm log once per day.
When a day timer expires, the alarm log is emailed. The email timer gives the
base station time to send the alarm log. When that timer expires, the action
clears the log, so that alarms are not sent more than once.
Email service actions
Task Manager can enable, disable, or toggle the Email system flag. This gives
you an extra layer of control over the base station's emailing functions.
When the base station enters Run mode, the flag is enabled.
When the flag is enabled, Task Manager can email status messages (see
status now" on page
191). The base station does this according to the
configuration in Configure > Communications > Email.
When the flag is disabled, any Email status now actions are disregarded.
Send alarm log now
The Send alarm log now action sends the alarm log to an Alarm Center,
according to the configuration in Configure > Communications > Alarm
Center. This configuration must have enabled Alarm notification to the Alarm
Center, or the action has no effect.
First, the base station attempts to connect to the Alarm Center and log on. If it
is successful, the base station sends its name and the contents of the alarm log,
and then logs off and disconnects.
