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 -37:
•
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.
