Alarm and Error Logs
The RF-B! transmitter controller software allows access to the station alarm and error logs.
This information is useful when investigating a station performance issue or during routine
maintenance cycles. The RF-B! transmitter controller provides three logs:
Station Alarm Log—station alarms since last reset
Station Error Log—station error history; operational errors
Software Error Log—software debug log; no operational errors
Appendix D contains a complete list of logged alarms and errors along with their severity.
Station Alarm Log
The alarm log contains the alarms logged since the last reset or alarm log clear. The alarm log
is useful in determining the current operational status of the RF-B! transmitter controller. To
read the current station alarms, perform the following steps:
1. Establish a FIPS session (see paragraph, "Service Terminal").
2. Read all alarms.
At the prompt, type:
a 99 <Enter>
The service terminal lists the active alarms.
3. Clear all alarms.
At the prompt, type:
a 103 <Enter>
The station alarm LED on the front panel should no longer be lit.
The Alarm log is not maintained during any reset.
