6. Select SNMP Manager 1 and type in the IP address of the PC running AlarmManager.
7. Press <CTRL + C> to immediately exit the setup menu and return to the command prompt.
Testing
1. Using a Telnet client, connect to the IP address assigned to the DL50.
2. Verify that the network router is available to the unit by typing the command “PING
router IP
address
”. The following screenshot is an example of a successful ping test.
ping 192.168.105.210
PING command running, press ESC to exit
Ping Reply Seq=1 time=140 ms
Ping Reply Seq=2 time=140 ms
Ping Reply Seq=3 time=144 ms
4. Press <ESC> to stop the ping testing. If <ESC> is not pressed, the unit will continue pinging
attempts indefinitely.
5. If there is an error message or no response from the router, first check the network settings
and connection, then consult a System Administrator or Omnitronix technical support.
6. Verify the PC running AlarmManager by repeating step 3 with the IP address of that
computer. The output from this command should be similar to that of the previous ping.
1.4 - Data Alarms
Data Alarms are always associated with the serial input ports. The simplest data alarm to set up is
one that will activate when almost any string of data comes into the unit. This is useful on ports
that are specifically alarm ports. Full details on how to build alarms are available later in Chapter
5. The following are the steps to setup a Data Alarm:
1. At the command prompt, access the setup menu. Select “Alarm Definitions”, “Data Alarm 1
Settings”, and then “Setup Alarm Fields”. The following menu allows a user to define up to
16 data alarm fields to be used when scanning for alarm data. Below is an abbreviated
example of this menu:

B)
...
O)
P)
2. Select field A. The menu in the following example will be displayed. The three options in
this menu are used to configure the starting position, length, and name of each data alarm
field:
