There are three different levels of access to a base station: Administrator,
User, and Read-only. The User access level has a configurable access profile;
the Administrator decides which functions that access level can carry out.
An action is the second part of a Task Manager task. It specifies what the
base station must do when the first part (the input) becomes true.
Digital outputs are active when the base station pulls their voltage low and
current is flowing. Digital inputs are active when external equipment is
pulling them to ground. All base station digital inputs and outputs are open
collector.
Analog-to-Digital Converter. A device for converting an analog signal to a
digital signal that represents the same information.
The alarm log is a list of the last 50 alarms that the base station generated.
This list is stored in the base station. To view it, select Monitor > Alarms >
Reported Alarms.
Alarm Center is a utility provided with the Service Kit that is able to receive,
store, and display alarms from any number of base stations with dial-up
connections. Participating base stations need an Alarm Reporting license.
Alarm Center also routes emailed messages to the email server.
Alarm notification is the process by which the base station passes on
information about an alarm condition. It can notify alarms over the air, over
the line, via email, or to an Alarm Center. It can also activate a digital
output. If the Service Kit is logged on to the base station, it is automatically
notified of any alarms.
The temperature of the air as measured at the PA's air intake.
