9.2 Retrieving Current Alarm Status
AISG compliant devices report alarms to the program in two ways, one of which is spontaneous and the other of which must be requested by the user. An AISG compliant device, such as an ATM200, spontaneously reports alarms in the ‘Command Status/Re- sponse’ window at the bottom of the screen as they occur. Since they are reported spon- taneously by the individual RET devices, no action is required by the user to retrieve these alarms. If desired, you may check to see if any previously reported alarms are still active.
1.To query a device for its alarm status, first click on the device in the ‘Device Informa- tion’ list (Figure
2.Now that the device has been selected, click ‘Get Alarm Status’ to retrieve the cur- rent alarm status for that device (Figure
Figure 9-3 shows an example where the device reported that no alarms are pres- ent.
3.Click ‘OK’ to dismiss the ‘Get Alarm Sta- tus’ pop-up notification (Figure 9-3).
