Whenever there is an alarm or device failure, the GPP issues a
report. A report example is shown below.

This is a typical display of set alarm points.
♦
The first column is the MAP address.
♦
The second column is the display number.
♦
The third column is the alarm point number.
♦
The fourth column indicates a local or global alarm.
♦
The fifth column gives the type of alarm (A is critical, B is
major, C is minor, and D is status). If you do not acknowledge
the alarm, the letter F follows the type of alarm. When you
acknowledge an alarm point, the letter F will be stripped off,
leaving only the level indicator A, B, C, or D.
♦
If you entered a point description, the description follows the
five columns.
The first line reads as MAP 1, display 5, alarm point 3, which is
a critical alarm (level A) that has not been acknowledged.
The second line reads as MAP 1, display 5, alarm point 4, which
is a routine (level C) alarm reporting the loss of a light on tower
four that has been acknowledged.
The third line reads as MAP 1, display 66, alarm point 19, an
unacknowledged global critical failure. The text description
explains that this is a communication failure with devices
monitoring Tower 19.
Device Reporting
The 46062-03 General Purpose Processor (GPP) can interrogate
128 displays of alarms. When you configure the GPP, each
display occupies one position in the GPPs memory. For each
MAP ID, the GPP then generates displays 65-67 internally
which report device communication failures in the alarm sys-
tem.
The 46062-02 General Purpose Processor (GPP) can interrogate
512 displays of alarms. For each MAP ID, this GPP then gener-
ates displays 65-73 internally which report device communica-
tion failures in the alarm system.
The individual device alarm point within the display corre-
sponds to the position on the configuration polling list the device
occupies.
