Alarm Configuration
This configuration sets the modems to be used by the repeaters in the net
for alarm reporting to OMT32.
Open the configuration box by selecting the Repeater Network option
in the Advanced menu, and then the Alarm Modems option.
To make the explanation easy, assume that you are logged on repeater
NU 0 (NU = network unit), which can be seen in Figure 13-8 and in
Figure 13-10. If this repeater is to use repeater NU 1 and NU 2 when the
own communication fails, then these network units are added to the list
in Figure 13-8.
Now, the list contains three repeaters, NU 0, NU 1 and NU 2.
The ’Try up to’ box sets the number of attempts to report an alarm
before giving up.
The settings in Figure 13-8 will, if busy line or no answer, result in the
following call attempt cycle before giving up:
NU 0 - NU 1 - NU 2 - NU 0 - NU 1 - giving up.
This makes 5 attempts in the order set in the table.
The cycle order can be changed by selecting a network unit and clicking
the Move Up or Move Down buttons.
Modem 0 means the first modem for the repeater, but no repeater can
handle more than one modem, so Modem must always be set to 0.
