6. ALARMS
6.1. BITE AND ALARMS
The Built-In Test concept comprises the monitoring of the power supplies, the
operational currents in the conversion modules, the motherboard and the remote
control interface. Furthermore, the synthesizer lock and the temperature of the
repeater are monitored.
All occurred alarms can be checked via software by typing the “STATUS HIST”
command. The provider is then able to acknowledge the alarm manually by the
software command “ALARMACKN”, e.g. ALC active, RSSI, door open or stabilty
control. If all alarms have been acknowledged, the summary error LEDs are set back
to green indication.
If monitored via a modem, automatic dialling will generate a summary alarm
message. The provider can acknowledge the alarm message and can request a
detailed status report.
6.2. HANDLING OF ALARMS
As soon as the software recognizes a valid alarm, a message is transmitted to the
operator. In remote mode, the alarm can be acknowledged by simply ringing back
and typing ALARMACKN.
If the reason for the alarm has been cleared or if the alarm should continue, a new
alarm message will not be repeated. If there was an interruption of at least one
second after acknowledgement, a new alarm message will be generated.
6.3. STATUS REPORT
Two instructions enable the operator to get the information of the system status.
Typing GET, commands will be responded by a listing of all settings of the repeater.
STATUS will be responded by a listing of all individual status information which can
be monitored only, but not influenced by SET commands.
The complete listing of the syntax with the processor of the control module including
the instructions and the messages as well as all available alarms from the system is
obtainable as a separate software manual.
