Alarms - General Information
With Alarm Disabled, an F73 indicator does not trigger and alarm when it enters an
Unlocked or Fault state.
With Alarm Enabled, an F73 indicator triggers an alarm when it enters an Unlocked or Fault
state, and the following events take place:
• The Alarm Status LED changes color from green to amber or red (See “Alarm Status
LED” on page37.)
• The ALARM output on the rear panel changes from low Z to high Z (impedance).
• If configured, SNMP sends a trap out over the network port. (See “C: SNMP” on
page183.)
The following items may delay an unlocked or fault state from triggering an alarm
immediately:
• Timeout and Timeout Delay postpone Time Error alarms for a user-configured
interval. See “Timeout and Timeout Delay” on page98.
• Power-on Alarm Suppress prevents alarms from being triggered for a user-
configured interval after the XL-GPS boots and starts. See “Power On Alarm
Suppress” on page98.
