Alarm Test
The Alarm Test screen provides a way to force an alarm for testing
alarm reporting and radio response. When set to
ON
, clicking the
Commit
Configuration
button sets an alarm, and the radio’s
PWR
LED begins to
flash. An “Alarm Test” entry is also made in the Event Log, and the
external alarm output status is changed.
In redundant configurations such as SDxP/SDxDP/SDxDT packaged
models, the Alarm Test can be used to force a switchover between
redundant radios. The alarm test is a timed facility. When applied, it will
assert for 30 seconds, and then deactivate. If active, it can be manually
deactivated prior to timeout by setting the parameter to
OFF
, and clicking
the
Commit Configuration
button again.
