Administrator

Creates the alarm message buffer file configuration, which specifies how alarm messages are saved to the flash file system.

Alarm messages are saved in the flash file system and are persistent through system reboots. If a configuration file is already present, the parameters within the file override any alarm message configuration parameters entered through the console.

The number of alarm files ranges from 0 to whatever value you decide using the [AlarmNumFiles] parameter. The alarm file number starts at whatever value you specify using the [StartFileNum] parameter. The number of files that contain alarm messages is specified by the[NumFilesUsed] parameter, which ranges between 0 and whatever value you have specified using the [AlarmNumFiles] parameter. The maximum number of alarm messages that can be stored is [NumAlarmsPerFile] multiplied by [AlarmNumFiles], and is limited by the size of the flash file system.
