Testing alarm origination

Use the Test Alarm Origination Web page to verify that alarms are properly logged and sent to the administered location. Once you run the test on this page, an alarm is raised. If the alarming system uses the modem and you are logged on remotely, log off as soon as possible after running the test.

Procedure

  1. On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Diagnostics > Alarm Origination.

    The system displays the Test Alarm Origination Web page.

  2. To activate the test alarm, click Run Test.

    The test alarm becomes active and stays active for 30 minutes after which the alarm retires automatically.
