Revision 2
5.2.10 Alarms
Alarm log clearly displays all alarm events in the repeater. The log itself is located in volatile memory
and is cleared every time the repeater is restarted/ rebooted.
There are three levels of severity defined in the repeater.
•
Warning
• Error
• Critical
All alarms can be forwarded to external alarm receiver. In order to forward the alarms from the
repeater, syslog UDP port 514 must be used and the correct IP address of external receiver must be
defined. This change as every other mentioned in previous chapters must be manually Set and the
repeater must be rebooted for the changes to apply.
The receiver IP address might be changed automatically by the DHCP server if a Remote Gateway
(RGW) is used.
In the alarm menu is also a feature called advanced alarm config, where user has the possibility
define the alarm power levels of UL and DL respectively, and the time out function for these. Further
on the user has possibility to define the ALC gain reduction thresholds.
In case of where external alarm relay is used in combination with the repeater the user has the
possibility to define own descriptions of External alarms generated by the repeater.
User can even generate the Test Alarm in order to test either External Alarm functionality or alarm
forwarding feature.
There are even some cosmetic possibilities like LED intensity and LED style available for user to
change if required.
