10.16.3 Alarm Dial-Out
One of the E2’s most important alarm reporting fea-
tures is its ability to dial-out to remote sites whenever a
serious alarm condition occurs. Each E2 is capable of dial-
ing out to up to three sites. The E2 may dial out to a com-
puter, a fax machine, a digital pager, or a printer. To set up
from the Main Menu:
Dial-out devices are set up in the Dial-out Setup
screen. To reach this screen:
1. Press
 (System Configuration)
2. Press
 (Alarm Setup)
3. Press
 (Dial-out Setup)
This screen and the other screens that follow it are used
to set up dial-out sites for both daytime and nighttime
operation, including specifying phone numbers and IP
addresses. Use the  and  keys to cycle through
the Setup screens.
10.16.4 Introduction: Alarm Report-
ing
In general, a controller reports alarms to any or all of
four different sources:
1. The E2 Display Header
Alarms that occur within a E2 may be reported to the
header display at the top of the screen. When an alarm is
reported to the display, the word “*ALARM*” flashes
underneath the time at the top of the screen, as shown in
the example below:
2. The Advisory Output
Each E2 has a single digital output that reacts to alarm
reports. When an alarm is reported to this output, the out-
put turns ON and remains on until the alarm condition has
returned to normal.
3. Dial-Out
Alarms may be sent to remote alarm receivers via the
modem defined for the controller. Possible dial-out
devices include a PC running UltraSite, a printer, a fax
machine, and a digital pager.
4. The LonWorks Network (The Alarm Annunciator)
If multiple E2s exist on a network, you may choose to
send alarms across the LonWorks Network so that they
may be picked up by the Alarm Annunciator.
Refer to Section 10.16.2 for information on how an
Alarm Annunciator works.
