TB8100 Service Kit User’s Manual Notifying Alarms 159
Notifying Alarms
The Notification Methods form lets you configure the way the base station lets
you know over the air and over the line that there is an alarm.
Important: Configuring these notification methods does not enable
notification. This is done by Task Manager tasks that must be
configured for your system.
Base stations with an Alarm Reporting license can send alarms to an Alarm
Center and status messages (which contain the current state of all alarms and the
alarm log
) via email.
Notifying Over the Air
The Service Kit lets you configure the way the base station notifies alarms using
the base station’s own transmissions. Alarm notifications are transmitted along
with any subaudible signalling that the base station is configured for. To start
and stop the over-the-air alarm, set up Task Manager statements. See “Over the
air alarm actions” on page 215.
Tip: Use CWID as an additional over-the-air alarm notification
method. Task Manager can disable CWID on startup, and then
enable it when particular alarm conditions occur. See “CWID
Actions” on page 212.
To configure the over-the-air alarm
1. Select Configure > Alarms > Notification Methods.
2. In the Over the air area, Type box, select an alarm type. Currently, only
Pip Tones are available. A pip tone is a 600Hz tone with a duration of
200ms.
