The AIReach OS can be configured to page the system operator
when a critical or major alarm occurs. To enable alarm paging,
you must:
Install an external modem.
Configure the operators pager information in
the AIReach OS.
Alarm paging also requires HipLink Lite software, which is
factory–installed on the System Controller.
Instructions for installing the external modem and configuring the
pager information are given below.
If the customer does not want to use alarm paging, proceed to
Chapter 3.
Alarm paging can be set up to use one or two analog lines. The
advantage of using two lines is that alarm pages are delivered even
when someone is dialed into the Controller. The disadvantage of
using two lines is the cost of the second line. The decision to use
one or two lines should be made by the customer.
Follow these instructions to install the external modem:
If one analog line is used:
1. Connect the line to the input jack on the internal modem.
2. Daisy chain the analog line from the internal modem to the
line–in jack on the external modem.
3. Connect the external modem to the serial port (COM1) on
the back of the Controller.
4. Attach the power cable to the modem and to an outlet, and
make sure the modem power switch (if present) is on.
5. Provide the dial–up number to the TAC—that is the direct
inward dialing (DID) number of the line coming into the
internal modem.
If two analog lines are used:
1. Connect one line to the input jack of the internal modem.
2. Connect the other line to the input jack on the external
modem.
3. Connect the external modem to the serial port (COM1) on
the back of the Controller.
4. Attach the power cable to the modem and to an outlet, and
make sure the modem power switch (if present) is on.
5. Provide the dial–up number to the TAC—that is the direct
inward dialing (DID) number of the line coming into the
internal modem.
Note
If two lines are used, the line used for alarm paging does not
have to be a DID line.
