To set up a dialout alarm, you need to enter phone numbers,
pager IDs, and communications parameters to use when an
alarm condition is met, and then you need to define the alarm
condition. To do this, complete the following steps:
1. Connect to the instrument.
2. Select the Alarms tab.
3. From the Alarm type drop down list, select TAP or SMS,
depending on the instrument type, or SVR for Flowlink
Pro users setting up the server alarm function.
4. SVR: From the Notification Group pull down list, select
the number of the notification group that you specified on
the Server Alarms tab of the Utilities>Server Options
window.
5. SMS: type the contact telephone numbers in the Phone
Number list box.
6. TAP: Type the contact telephone numbers in the Phone
Number list box. This must be a valid Telocator
Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) access number. You should
consult with your pager service for TAP access line
numbers and the communications parameter settings.
TAP/SMS: You must enter at least one number; you can
enter as many as five numbers; you can enter the same
number more than once.
TAP/SMS: When an alarm condition is triggered, the
system will try dialing each phone number in the Phone
Number List. Each telephone number string can contain
up to thirteen characters. (Dashes can be used if there is
room to include them within the thirteen characters.) You
can include a comma ( , ) which is preset as a two second
delay, and is needed by PBXs to connect to an outside
line. You may also include the following commands:
@ (wait for silence)
W (wait for dial tone)
T (tone dial)
P (pulse dial)
7. TAP: For each phone number entered, enter a Pager ID
number. This can be eleven characters long. (The ID will
come from your pager service.)
8. TAP: For each phone number entered, you have the
option of entering a Password. The password can be six
characters in length. (Not all pager services require the
use of a password.)
9. TAP: In the Comm field, select between 7E1 and 8N1 for
the communications control specification. (Your pager
service will give you this information.)
10. TAP/SMS/SVR: You must enter a text message to be
sent to the pager. The Message field can hold 32
characters, although there may be limits to the
characters supported by different pagers.
