MANUAL VERSION 11.0 – May 2008
Network-Wide Alarms
8. NETWORK-WIDE ALARMS
8.1 To allow one administrator to monitor multiple nodes, the system provides both system
alarms and network-wide alarms:
• Network-Wide Alarms: When an event occurs that generates a network-wide alarm,
the alarm is broadcast to every node in the system.
• System Alarms: System alarms appear only on the node on which the alarm was gen-
erated.
A. SENDING AND RECEIVING NETWORK ALARMS
8.2 Each node has two system flags that determine whether the node broadcasts or receives
network-wide alarms.
• The Send Network Alarms flag determines whether a node will broadcast alarms that
occur on that node to the rest of the network.
• The Receive Network Alarms flag determines whether the node will receive and dis-
play alarms sent by other nodes in the network.
8.3 To differentiate between network-wide and local alarms, network-wide alarms appear
on administrator phones preceded by “NET ALARM” and local system alarms are preceded
with “SYS ALARM.”
8.4 On remote nodes, network-wide alarms will indicate the name of the node on which the
alarm occurred. The node name is obtained from the node username.
B. CLEARING NETWORK ALARMS
8.5 An administrator can clear a network-wide alarm on the local node only or on every
node in the network.
• Clear Network Alarm (9851): This feature code clears network-wide alarms on every
node in the network, but will not affect system alarms. The Clear Network Alarm fea-
ture code may be entered on any node in the network, but the Send Network Alarms
flag must be set for the administrator to clear alarms on other nodes in the network.
• Clear System Alarm (9850): This feature code clears all local and network-wide sys-
tem alarm displays on your node.
8.6 Network-wide alarms will override system alarms on an administrator’s phone display.
