5.5.2 EAC-2100 Originating
The EAC-2100 constantly monitors and logs several alarm conditions. These
conditions can be viewed using the ALA command. They are described in
Volume 2, Operating Procedures.
Each type of alarm can be defined as "critical" or "log only" using the SET
command. If an alarm defined as critical occurs more than a predetermined
number of times, a critical alarm is said to exist. The system indicates any
critical alarms at the beginning of each communication session.
The system can also be set up to call a predetermined number if a critical
alarm exists. (The default setup is NOT to place a call when a critical alarm
exists.) If the system has been programmed to automatically report alarms, it
will attempt to do so only if all of the following conditions exist:
• A critical alarm exists.
• The console is locked.
• The handset is connected and in service.
• The system has not successfully reported an alarm since the "Auto-Dial
Enable" parameter was set to ARMED.
• The system has not unsuccessfully tried to report an alarm more than the
designated number of times (the Auto-Dial Trials Max parameter) since
the Auto-Dial Enable parameter was set to ARMED.
