Events and Action Routines 14.1 What This Chapter Contains • Overview • Description of Events • Description of Action Routines 14.2 Overview The ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus can be programmed to respond to a particular event or trigger. There are two types of events: Internal and External. An internal event is generated by the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus automatically in response to a particular condition, such as a failed authentication attempt or a low battery.

    Events and Action Routines This example schedules a PHONHOME to report the alarm two minutes after DTR is lost (transitions from high to low). If DTR is re-established (DTR goes high), the .DTRHIGH alarm occurs and cancels the action PHONHOME Action Routine. Since no port number is specified, this event will occur when DTR is lost on any port.

The internal battery is located behind the small bolted plate on the lower right side of the front panel of the Access Security Gateway (ASG) Guard Plus device. Carefully unfasten the two screws from the plate and set aside. The screws are captive so after loosening them, the screws, springs and plate can be removed as one piece.

Do not pull on the wires but slightly tug on the plastic tabs connected to the metal terminals, using a side-to-side rocking motion.
  • Page 241 Internal Battery Replacement 5. Slide the new battery into the internal bracket. (Battery will fit only one way, with the red wire towards the back and the tabs towards the center of the unit.) Tuck wires carefully into internal bracket, so they do not snag on the bracket and disconnect tabs from the battery. Figure E-6.
  • Page 242 Internal Battery Replacement NOTE: If the Access Security Gateway (ASG) Guard Plus does not Power-up (no lights appear on panel), then retry the above steps. The wire and tab connections may have become disconnected while sliding the battery into the casing. If the Access Security Gateway (ASG) Guard Plus does Power-up (the red PWR FAIL light will be ON, indicating that the internal battery is operable), then replace the bolted panel, and reconnect all power supplies (16V AC, 48V DC, AC adapter).
