Configuring Access Manager
4-4 Access Manager 2000 User Manual
When a number of Access Managers have access to a given node, the
node needs to know “who it’s talking to”. To do this, you need to identify
each Access Manager by assigning it a
Manager Type .
An Access Manager can be assigned one of three Manager Types :
PRIMAR , SECONDAR , or TECHNICIAN .
■
You would assign the types, PRIMARY and SECONDAR , to the two
Access Managers which are to receive alarms.
■
You would assign the Manager Type , TECHNICIAN , to an
Access Manager that is not designated as one of the alternate alarm
paths and is dialing in only to do diagnostics or troubleshooting
from a remote location.
When a node controller sends an alarm to a PRIMARY or SECONDARY
Manager Type , it subsequently deletes the alarm from its buffer. When
a node controller sends an alarm to a TECHNICIAN Manager Type ,
it retains the alarm in its buffer until the diagnostics session is over and it
has been able to send the alarm to the
PRIMARY and/or SECONDARY
Access Manager.
To differentiate the site:
1. From the Main Menu, go to the Utilities Menu.
2. From the Utilities Menu, select the Installation option.
3. From the subsequent screen, select the Site option. The
following screen will appear.
You’ll need to assign a Site Name and Manager Type .
Until you assign the site name, the site name displays as NOT YET
DEFINED in the Edit Site Name screen.
4. Type in the name you want to assign to your site. This name can be
up to 20 characters long.
