Provisioning the Alarm Interface Controller
• Severity—Select a severity. The severity determines how the alarm is displayed in the CTC Alarms
and History tabs and whether the LEDs are activated. Critical, Major, and Minor activate the
appropriate LEDs. Not Alarmed and Not Reported do not activate LEDs, but do report the
information in CTC.
• Virtual Wire—To assign the external device to a virtual wire, select the virtual wire. Otherwise, do
not change the None default.
• Raised When—Select the contact condition (open or closed) that will trigger the alarm in CTC.
• Description—Default descriptions are provided for each alarm type; change the description as
necessary.
