Perform the Steps Below in the Order Listed

To Begi n

1. Connect to the ATLAS 550 using either the ETHERNET, CONTROL IN, or CRAFT interfaces.

If you are not already connected to the unit’s CONTROL IN or CRAFT interfaces (either with a

VT100 compatible terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software), use the procedure in

DLP-001 to connect to the CONTROL IN or CRAFT interface.

Alternately, if the unit is part of a management cluster connected to the local network, you may use a

PC connected to the network to Telnet into the unit. Use the procedures in DLP-003 and DLP-004 to

connect to the ETHERNET interface.

2. Login to the unit.

Login to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-002 for details).

Configure the Alarm Relay

1. Go to the SYSTEM CONFIG menu and press the right arrow key to access the right-pane menus. Select
the ALARM RELAY THRESHOLD menu and choose the appropriate threshold level. The ALARM RELAY will
set for this threshold and all other alarms of greater importance. Refer to Section 7, System Event
Logging of this user manual for a listing of all alarms and levels of importance.

Configure the Alarm Monitor

1. Go to the SYSTEM CONFIG menu and press the right arrow key to access the right-pane menus. Then,
select the EVENT LOGGING menu and press <Enter>. Once in the EVENT LOGGING menu, press the right
arrow key to access the right-pane menus.
2. From the EVENT LOGGING menu, select the EXTERNAL INPUT menu and set it to the same value as the
ALARM RELAY THRESHOLD. Any event on the ALARM MONITOR will now be logged in the EVENT LOG and
set the ALARM RELAY.

Setting the threshold to NORMAL will not set the ALARM RELAY for NORMAL events. No

NORMAL events set the ALARM RELAY.

Complete the following steps only if you wish to monitor for external alarms.
