System Manager Initialization
System Manager NM & MM Mode Loop Search
When the System Manager is confi gured for Network Mode, a loop
search must initially be performed for the System Manager to recognize
alarms or overrides. Also, when you have a system that has multiple
System Managers and you have one of the System Managers set to
(63) Network Mode for alarm and override indication, you must also
perform a loop search for that System Manager. This allows the System
Manager to be aware of all alarms and overrides for all local loops on
the entire system.
Note: The Loop Search function is only required when using
the System Manager(s), not the Modular Service Tool.
To access the Loop Search Screen, from the Main Menu Screen, press

The screen will display the number of loops found on your system. The
information will be saved into the System Manager’s memory. No further
loop searches will be required unless you add an additional MiniLink
Polling Device to the Network System.
