7.9.10 Initiate Remote Alarm Test (Service Terminal Interface only)
The service phone number is used for remote monitoring by Liebert Global Services. The Service
Terminal Interface may be used to test communications between the Liebert AC8 and the service modem.
This test will send a “DIAL OUT TEST PASSED” message to the service phone number.
The test is used to simulate an alarm to verify the proper configuration and functioning of the modem and
other communications required for receiving alarms. This simulated alarm bypasses the normal alarm
sequence—the LCD will not flash, the horn will not sound and there will be no record in the Alarm Log. A
message is sent to the service phone number only if the alarm system is set up correctly.
To initiate the remote alarm test:
• Connect to the Liebert AC8 either from a remote computer or through the RS232 port (see
Connecting to the Service Terminal Interface on page111).
• At the Main Menu, enter 0 (zero—Setup System - Login Required).
• At the Login Menu, enter your password, then press the Enter key.
• At the Setup Menu, enter 7 (Setup System Information).
• At the Setup System Info menu, enter 9 (Initiate Remote Alarm Test).
• At the Initiate Remote Alarm Test menu, shown below, enter 1 to initiate the remote alarm.
