The second most common option type is the toggle type option:
H) Data Alarm Enable [NONE]
When selected, this option will not prompt for a new value. It will simply cycle to the next
available option in its list. This switch type is only used for options with two or three choices.
Most often it is in an on/off form, but the example setting above has the options "NONE", "1", and
"2".
Alarm actions have their own unique method of entry:
Enter a list of actions, in the format:
T<trap manager numbers>P<page numbers>M<callout numbers>S
Example: 'T1P3M24S' would enable trap managers 1, page 3,
modem callout 2 and 4, and serial alert.
Enter Data Alarm Actions:
This option allows an admin to input the actions in any order. The unit automatically sorts out the
input and places it in the appropriate sequence, as long as there is no invalid data.
On top of having the same basic rules as a string entry, the following input methods must be used:
SNMP trap actions require “T” followed by the number(s) of the trap managers to be used, as they
are defined in the network setup menu. Valid options are "1" and "2", as there are two different
SNMP managers definable within the unit. Pager actions require “P” followed by the pager
numbers. Valid options are "1", "2", "3", and "4". Modem callout actions require “M” followed
by the modem callout numbers. Valid options are "1", "2", "3", and "4". Serial port actions do not
require any number options, so “S” would enable that action for an alarm.
Here is an example action definition: “P3ST12M2”. The DL100 automatically sorts the input and
stores the following translated string “T12P3M2S”.
The list option type is similar to the toggle type in that it has a list of options, of which an
administrator can choose only one:
Data-Link DL100 - Serial 1 Baud rate Settings
A) 300
B) 600
C) 1200
D) 2400
E) 4800
F) 9600
G) 19200
The above example is displayed after selecting the baud rate option within the serial port 1
settings. After selecting an option, the administrator is immediately returned to the previous
menu. The new value will be displayed in the square brackets to the right of the setting name.
