The Auto Alarm Manager operates as follows:
- The Auto Alarm Manager (AAMTCP.EXE) sends alarms by retrieving all the alarms residing in its alarm queue. Messages residing in the alarm queue are ignored.
- The Auto Alarm Manager filters the alarms by alarm priority and alarm area.
- The program re-assigns the filtered alarms to the alarm areas you specify in the SCU, and delivers them to the Receiving node.
- Upon receipt of the alarms, the Receiving node routes them to their alarm destinations based on their new alarm areas. Note that the Receiving node treats the incoming alarms as operator messages. As a result, the alarms do not appear in the Alarm Summary object. After the alarm is successfully delivered to the Receiver node, the Sender node will acknowledge the alarm.
- After delivering the alarms, the Auto Alarm Manager hangs up the phone and waits a specified amount of time before delivering any more alarms. This delay is intended to let an operator dial into the Sending node and change the conditions that generated the last set of alarms.
