T/MonXM 4.7 User Manual

Craft Mode Interface

With Craft Mode T/MonXM can access an ASCII port on a remote

device for troubleshooting or configuration. In addition, any remote

terminal (T/Remote, laptop, etc.) can access the same devices

through the T/MonXM. In this mode the T/MonXM or remote ter-

minal operate as a dumb terminal. Example: A DPS DPM reports an

alarm on a PABX it is monitoring. A technician requires more detail

about the alarm from the PABX. The ASCII port on the PABX can

be connected to the technician’s laptop computer through

T/MonXM’s Craft Mode Interface.

Pager Support

With Pager Support T/MonXM will call up to 999 pager numbers.

Each alarm point can be programmed to call a pager when an alarm

occurs or when it clears. Alarm points are assigned to pagers

through pager profiles (up to 99 of them), which are groups or cate-

gories of 30 operators. Operators use schedules to determine on a 7-

day/24 hour basis what pager is called, as well as categorizing who

is pages by alarm type, delay, and pager format.. Up to 999 paging

operator schedules may be entered into the T/MonXM data base.

The Pager Support Module includes a schedule exceptions screen

that can override the 24 hour schedule to make special changes for

holidays, etc. Group mode allows a single event to be issued to mul-

tiple pagers.

2-Way Paging

Two-way paging allows the paged technician to immediately

acknowledge an alarm from the pager. This halts additional paging

activity. A Technician can also acknowledge all alarms at a site, tag

alarms for future reference or ignore nuisance alarms.
