Administering alarms

The Alarms screens display only those system events that have alarm status. Changing priority level may cause an event to have or lose alarm status. See Message administration screens for more information.

Retiring alarms

Alarms are displayed on the active alarms list until you retire them. The default order is time order, with the most recent alarms listed first. Once retired, active alarms move to a separate screen that lists the retired alarms. Retiring alarms that are no longer relevant makes it easier to review active alarms when you are troubleshooting a problem. Also, entering information about why the alarm was retired helps you keep records about system problems.

Establishing and revising dialout parameters

Establish and revise dialout parameters for modem calls placed when alarms occur. Generally, the modem will call INADS when an alarm occurs. You may choose to have no dialout, or dial out only for major and critical alarms. Three dialout locations may be specified, so that the IR system can dial out to remote locations as well as to INADS when alarms are generated. See Dialout configuration screens for more information.
