Additionally, there is an option to re-dispatch the alarm if it remains in an alarm state too long. This programmable time
period is called the Alarm Reset Time. This parameter can be set from 30 to 3600 minutes. For example: Suppose the Alarm
Reset Time is set to 180 minutes. Now suppose an IP device has stopped responding and trips an alarm which results in all
programmed users receiving their respective messages. If the IP device continues to remain unresponsive for 180 minutes,
then the alarm will be dispatched again and everyone will be contacted once more.
Note: DO NOT set the Alarm Reset Time too short, otherwise you will continue to dispatch the same alarm
over and over resulting in numerous phone calls, e-mails, etc.
