4.4.4 Working with Configuration Files
At any time, you can save the current configuration settings as a file
(Tools > Files > Configuration > Backup configuration). This is stored in
the base station, but we recommend that you download it and store it on
your computer as an off-site backup. The base station identity and network
identity are not saved as part of the configuration file.
You may want to develop a master configuration and upload it to all base
stations in the network. The master configuration can contain all the
different channel configurations and can be common to all base stations.
The base station identity selects the default channel.
Base stations are delivered with a default configuration which provides
a safe set of values. We recommend that you download it and store it on
your computer as a backup before changing and saving any configura-
tion settings.
You can also generate a report containing all the base station’s
configuration settings (Tools > Files > Configuration > Configuration
report), which can be saved as a text file. We recommend that you do this
when the base station is commissioned. This report can be useful later if
there is a problem with the base station. Comparing the original report with
the later one may highlight changes in configuration that are causing a
problem.
4.4.5 Setting Up Custom Alarms
Each of the base station’s 12 digital inputs can be used to raise a custom
alarm when the input goes high or low. The Custom Alarms form
(Configure > Alarms > Custom Alarms) allows you to assign a name to
each custom alarm, and to configure whether the alarm is triggered when
the digital input goes high or low. Custom alarms are reported via the web
interface and SNMP traps.
Custom alarms are used to provide an alarm when an external event
activates a digital input. You can rename any of the available alarms to
provide a more meaningful name, such as “Door open”.
Take care when setting the severity of alarms, including custom alarms
(Configure > Alarms > Severity). Setting an alarm’s severity to Major
will cause the node to take the base station out of service when the alarm
is raised. Refer to the Help for more information.
