then cleared.

Alarm events (either activating or clearing of any local or remote alarm) are stored in a log.

Each entry includes a time and date stamp. The user is able to scroll through the alarm

log.

Note: The alarm log can hold 32 events. When the alarm log is full, the oldest alarm is

overwritten. In the event of a power failure, the alarm log will be lost.

4.4.3 Link Up Time Alarm

The EX7100 provides an alarm to indicate when the link has been up longer than the set

time limit. This may be useful in the case where a site is battery/solar powered and it is

necessary to know if the link is being held up for any reason.

The Link Up Time Alarm may be set for the following times:

Off, 1 Hour, 3 Hours, 6 Hours, 9 Hours, 12 Hours, 18 Hours, 24 Hours.
