The Chain Port History is cleared when you execute the
ALARMSCLEAR
HISTORYFORCE (VIEWED)
command at the master Access-T (as described in
Chapter 7).
Note 1:
When an alert indication appears in the Title Bar, the
operator should check the Chain Port Polling History first to
verify that all nodes are still in communication before explor-
ing other options.
Note 2:
To clear the alert indicator for
viewed
alarms, you must
view both the
1-15
and
16-30
displays if the alert is caused by
state changes at nodes within both address ranges.
Viewing Node Alarm Status
In master mode, Access-T provides a report indicating which nodes currently
have alarms. As shown in Figure 8-5, the Node Alarm Status display lists each
node by number, identifies which nodes have uncleared alarms (
YES
under
ALARMS
), and indicates whether dialout is enabled for any of the uncleared
alarms (
YES
under
DIAL
).
Note:
Dialout for specific alarms is enabled or disabled at the
individual Access-Ts.
To view the Node Alarm Status display, perform the following steps:
1.
Make sure that the master Access-T is selected, and not one of the
slaves. (You can do so by typing
?
.)
2.
Select
ALARMS
from the Main Menu Line.
3.
Select
NODE ALARM STATUS
. The Node Alarm Status display appears
on the screen.
4.
Press the
Esc
key to return to the previous display.
5.
Press the
Esc
key to return to the Main Menu Line.
