Modem Site

The Alarm Server uses a series of command line arguments to specify the actions it takes when a priority event is reported. These commands must be entered on the computer that is running the Alarm Server utility. Typically the Alarm Server is configured to launch the Connection Manager, which dials up the remote site and retrieves the logs from the devices. The Alarm Server can also be configured to launch other applications. A series of parameter switches are added to the command line to pass information about the event to the application that is launched.

Configuring the Alarm Server

The Alarm Server should have a dedicated phone line, modem, and COM port to avoid conflicts with other ION software components.

The modem used by the Alarm Server is not configured with the ION Management Console– only dialout modems are configured in the ION Management Console. The Alarm Server's executable, alarmsrv.exe, is typically located in \\Power Measurement\ION Enterprise\SYSTEM\bin. You can run the Alarm Server in a console window, or you can define a shortcut icon that includes all of the command line arguments required.

Alarm Server Command Line Arguments

Refer to the online ION Enterprise Help for a list of command lines that the Alarm Server supports.
