Testing the alarm origination

Use the Test Alarm Origination Web page to verify that the system logs the alarms properly and sends the alarms to the administered location. After you run the test, the system raises an alarm.

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.
