Tyco Electronics Galaxy SC Controller J85501F-1
Issue 13 February 2001 Operation 6 - 15
CHA AT1, LTE=1 enable the alarm test enable software
DIP switch
CHA AT1,DUR=30 set the contact duration to 30 seconds
CHA AT1,PCR=1 enable the power critical relay test
Other attributes can be configured by replacing the attribute identifiers
in the examples above with the proper attribute identifier. To initiate an
alarm test from one of the access ports use the OPE (operate) command
as shown in the example below:
OPE AT1,STT=1 start an alarm test
To see if the alarm test active(ATA1), alarm test failed ATF1), or alarm
test aborted(ATB1) events are active use either the ALA, WAR, or REC
commands. Which command you use will depend on the programmed
severity of the alarm. The examples below illustrate how to check for
active alarm test warnings and record-only events since these are the
default severities of alarm test events:
WAR AT1 retrieve active alarm test warnings
REC AT1 retrieve active alarm test record-only events
Alarm
Configuration
The T1.317 interface groups alarms into several types based on their
configuration requirements. These types are listed below with the type
identifier mnemonic and type description:
SDA standard alarms
THA threshold alarms
DTA dual threshold alarms
UDE user-defined events
CEA connect equipment alarm (data switch)
MRM maintenance reminders
The user-defined events, connected equipment, and maintenance
reminders are described in detail in another part of this manual. To list
the alarm objects of any of these alarm types the LIS command as shown
in the following examples:
LIS SDA list all standard alarms
LIS THA list all the single threshold alarms
LIS DTA list all dual threshold alarms
For most applications, the default alarm configurations will not need to
be changed except for setting the thresholds to their desired states.
However, the alarms in the Galaxy SC can be customized by
