Alarm Configuration

7.9. The No Dialtone Alarm

The No Dialtone Alarm enables the TSM/RSM to monitor a telephone line connected to

an external modem installed at the TSM/RSM Setup Port, and then provide notification if

the TSM/RSM detects that the phone line is dead or no dialtone is present.

If the No Dialtone Alarm is enabled and the TSM/RSM determines that there is no

dialtone signal, the No Dialtone Alarm can provide notification via email using a network

connection. In the event that the TSM/RSM unit is not connected to a network cable,

the TSM/RSM will also create an entry in the Alarm Log, indicating that the No Dialtone

Alarm has been triggered.
