Access Manager 2000 User Manual

When a number of Access Managers have access to a given node, the
node needs to know “who it’s talking to”. To do this, you need to identify
each Access Manager by assigning it a

Manager Type

.

An Access Manager can be assigned one of three

Manager Types

:

PRIMAR

,

SECONDAR

, or

TECHNICIAN

.

You would assign the types,

PRIMARY

and

SECONDAR

, to the two

Access Managers which are to receive alarms.

You would assign the

Manager Type

,

TECHNICIAN

, to an

Access Manager that is not designated as one of the alternate alarm
paths and is dialing in only to do diagnostics or troubleshooting
from a remote location.

When a node controller sends an alarm to a

PRIMARY

or

SECONDARY

Manager Type

, it subsequently deletes the alarm from its buffer. When

a node controller sends an alarm to a

TECHNICIAN Manager Type

,

it retains the alarm in its buffer until the diagnostics session is over and it
has been able to send the alarm to the

PRIMARY

and/or

SECONDARY

Access Manager.

To differentiate the site:

1. From the Main Menu, go to the Utilities Menu.

2. From

the

Utilities

Menu, select the

Installation

option.

3. From the subsequent screen, select the

Site

option. The

following screen will appear.

You’ll need to assign a

Site Name

and

Manager Type

.

Until you assign the site name, the site name displays as

NOT YET

DEFINED

in the Edit Site Name screen.

4. Type in the name you want to assign to your site. This name can be

up to 20 characters long.
