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 relevant to the current application firmware (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.

5.4.10 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 page

(Configure > Alarms > Custom Alarms) allows you to assign a name to

each custom alarm.

The active state of the inputs (active high vs. active low) is configured on

(Configure > Base Station > Programmable I/O)

Custom alarms are reported via the WebUI and SNMP traps.

Custom alarms provide a warning 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. See below for the severity of each alarm.

Major An alarm of this severity causes the node to take a base station out of

service. This alarm must be cleared at the base station before the channel
