TB8100 Service Kit User’s Manual Viewing Recent Alarms 155
Viewing Recent Alarms
The Reported Alarms form (Monitor > Alarms > Reported Alarms) displays
recent alarms from the base station you are logged on to. The base station stores
the last 50 alarm messages. When you log on, these messages become available
and are displayed in this form.
Note: The Alarm Center can also display recent alarms that have
been sent to it by various base stations.
The form displays information about the alarms, one row for each alarm. The
display is updated with any new alarms each time the Service Kit polls the base
station. The polling interval is set when you configure the connection.
Each row contains the following information.
Date & Time The date and time that the alarm was reported to the base station (the date is
provided by the base station’s clock).
Module The name of the base station module reporting the alarm.
Serial Number The serial number of the module reporting the alarm.
Reported Alarm The text of the alarm.
Save to File Click Save to File to save the displayed information. This enables you to store
a record of alarms, for example, to help with troubleshooting an intermittent
problem. The Alarm log
can only store the most recent 50 alarms and these are
lost if the base station is reset.
Alarms are stored in CSV format. The default extension is *.csv.
