Enabling Alarms
For each alarm type, there are two enabling options:
•
Alarm declaration (
ENABLE
).
•
Automatic dialout when the alarm occurs (
DIAL
).
If alarm declaration is enabled for a specific alarm type, you can independently
select whether Access-T will dial out to report the alarm. If alarm declaration is
disabled, dialout will not occur.
Note:
If the
DIAL
function is turned on for an enabled alarm
after an alarm condition arises, Access-T will immediately dial
out to report the alarm. Similarly, if an alarm is disabled after
an alarm condition has been reported, the
ALERT
indication will
be erased from the Title Bar.

1.
