Alarm and Error Logs
The RF-O! transmitter software accesses alarm and error logs. This information helps resolve
performance issues or perform maintenance cycles. The RF-O! transmitter has three logs:
• Alarm log
• Error log
• Software error log
Configuration specifies errors that trigger alarms. Four alarm severity categories exist:
• Critical: The alarm caused paging transmissions to stop indefinitely. Without user
interaction, paging may not resume.
• Major: The alarm caused a temporary interruption of paging transmissions. Paging will
probably resume without user intervention. Under some circumstances repetitious major
alarms will effectively disable the station.
• Minor: The alarm probably has not caused interruption of paging transmissions.
• Informational: The alarm is for user information only. Service was not interrupted.
Appendix F contains a complete list of logged alarms and errors along with their severity.
Alarm Log
The alarm log has all alarms logged since the log was cleared or the OCM was reset. The alarm
LED on the front panel is lit when any alarms are active. The alarm log helps determine the
operational status of the RF-O! transmitter. Complete these steps to read the current alarms:
1. Establish an RF-O! transmitter FIPS session.
2. Read all alarms. Type the following command:
a99<Enter>
The service terminal lists the active alarms.
3. To clear the alarm log, type this command:
a 103 <Enter>
The alarm LED on the front panel should no longer be lit.
The alarm log is also cleared upon reset.
