7. Alarm Configuration
When properly configured, the TSM/RSM can monitor temperature readings and user
activity, and log this information for future review. In addition, the TSM/RSM can also
generate alarms when temperature readings exceed user-defined trigger levels, when
input voltage is lost and then restored to the unit, when communication with an attached
WTI device is disrupted, when a Ping-No-Answer condition is detected, when the Invalid
Access Lockout feature is triggered and when excessive data accumulates at a serial
port buffer. When any of these conditions are detected, the TSM/RSM can also send an
"Alarm" to the proper personnel via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP trap.

To configure the TSM/RSM's Alarm functions, access the command mode using a
password that allows Administrator level and then activate the Alarm Configuration
