Alarm Sync

Clicking on the Alarm Sync link from the Edit menu will re-synchronize all of the NetGuardian alarms. This
command clears all alarms, so that a new notification is sent for all standing alarms. You can easily test alarm
connections during turnup without rebooting the NetGuardian unit. A warning prompt will appear, click Ok to
continue or Cancel to exit without resynchronizing your alarms (see Figure 2.16.1).
