Definition at each Access Manager. That way, each network
manager knows under what conditions it will be receiving alarms
from a node.

3. When

using

modems,

always set the

Baud Rate

to the speed of

the slowest modem in the path you’re configuring.

To clarify, let’s refer to Figure 5 -6, “Access Manager’s view of the
node,” on page 5 -3
7:

The baud rate for the Query path from

Modem A

to

Modem C

would be

2400

. This value is entered in the Node Definition

screen at Access Manager #1.

The baud rate for the Query path from

Modem B

to

Modem C

would be

1200

. This value is entered in the Node Definition

screen at Access Manager #2.

The baud rate for the Alarm path from

Modem C

to

Modem A

(Primary Alarm Path) would be

2400

. This value would be

entered in the Alarm Path Definition screen at both Access
Managers.

The baud rate for the Alarm path from

Modem C

to

Modem B

(Secondary Alarm Path) would be

1200

. This value would be

entered in the Alarm Path Definition screen at both Access
Managers.

4. The

Node Name

and

Location

fields are there to help the user

(not the system) keep track.

For example, Access Manager #1 could have a

Node name

of

SMITH

for Node

12

, and Acce ssManag er#2 could have a

Node

name

of

JONES

for Node

12

.

However, minimize user confusion by using identical terms or
abbreviations across network managers.

Conclusion to Adding a Node

After you finish entering the required information for each node, press

to save the definitions. If insufficient or invalid information was

entered, error messages tell you what to do in order to supply the correct
information.
