The node will auto-dial Access Manager and report status changes if both
of these conditions are met:
a. the Enable Alarm Reporting option is set to YES , and
b. the Alarm Path option is set to anything other than NONE
or DIREC .
For all of the latest revisions of the above listed multiline nodes (not the
single-line 551VST List 2), if
Alarm Path is set to NONE and
Enable Status Change Reporting is YES , these circuit
elements will report all accumulated uncleared alarms to Access Manager
when they are contacted by Access Manager either during on-line access
or scheduled polling.
Selecting options based on access arrangement
To continue configuring the node, you must view the following tables and
select the appropriate data to enter into upcoming fields.
■
Table 5-8, “Older CSU Circuit Elements BER Alarm Rest Times”
■
Table 5-9, “Newer CSU Circuit Elements BER Alarm Reset Times”
Choose the table for your specific type of node.
Each column is an access arrangement type. Determine which column
applies to the node you are adding. Enter the values in that column when
you configure the node.
The access arrangement types listed in these tables are:
■
Direct: The node’s network management port connects directly to a
comline on the Access Manager host PC.
■
Modem: The node’s network management port connects to a
modem that receives calls from the Access Manager host PC and if
enabled, calls Access Manager to report alarms.
■
None: The node’s network management port is not used. Access to
the node is limited to the Facility Data Link (which implies you’re
dealing with a far-end node) or via daisy chain.
